Aerndis chuckled and nodded. "Yep, cold and miserable." She wished summer would hurry up and she hoped it would bring actual warmth and not be frigid cold like spring was turning out to be. She listened as the man spoke of the weather in the south and she scowled, sitting down heavily. "Really? I was hoping maybe the cold front we've been having pushed all the warm weather south. This is ridiculous." Well, so much for going south for the winter.

"My name is Aerndis. Who might you be? Heading northward for anything other than warm weather?" She had nowhere to be necessarily and didn't mind some casual conversation if the stranger was game. She would have to decide if she wanted to continue southward anyway or go ahead and turn back north since she wasn't going to find the warmer weather she sought.
