do you wanna build a snowman?

The snow she had feared would soon be upon them arrived with a vengeance, now they were bombarded by new snowfall on a daily basis and well frankly, that was not easy for the tiny woman to navigate. She jumped from snowdrift to snowdrift more than she forged any path, it also didn't help that the cold made her limbs grow stiff quicker than usual, they also ached more. Samara was fiercely independent and usually, she would be determined to make her own way but after struggling through the snow for days she was kind of just wishing someone could carry her around, she was tired.

Still she would intend to keep her meeting with Theory, her mind was swimming still, it hadn't been too long ago that Rhyme had asked to make their relationship formal. Was it her place to share? She was Rhyme's daughter after all, so maybe he wanted to tell her? Besides if Theory had asked for her specifically then she probably had some topic specifically in mind and it was her duty to try and give her whatever answers or support she asked for, not be worrying over the blossoming relationship between herself and the girl's father.

The going was slow, but she finally managed to make it to the ice sheet that had become the shore between the mainland and the island territories. The woman paused there panting and taking a moment to try and work some warmth back into her snow-coated limbs, though she was practically covered in it, the snow rose up the sides of her torso easily and had clung to her fur, now mixed with sweat from the exertion of the trek. Taking a deep breath the woman skated out across the water, it was a bit nerve-wracking but if the bigger members of the pack were managing it, it seemed unlikely she'd break through the ice into the hypothermia inducing waters below.

Finally she made it, Theory's scent telling her that the girl was already there and likely waiting, so she picked up her pace as much as she could, finding the young alpha seated in one of the few clear areas to be found. Samara offered her a polite nod of her head and a soft smile as she approached. "Hope I didn't leave you waiting long." She said, her tone light and friendly.
