Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! [Athena]

When she heard the voice of another female, she broke her gaze from the trees to look down. Red and blue eyes focused on the gray-pelted woman, the soft tinkle of golden bracelets reaching her ears. She was definitely easy on the eyes, making Odette smile for her first response. Her tail idly waved behind her once as she said, "I may have to try that..." She padded towards the nearest tree, pulled her front half up to the trunk, and planted her front paws upon the lowest branch. Snow that had fallen upon the branch began to shudder and fall to the ground as she lifted herself until all four paws were perfectly balanced together. She turned her whole body to look at Athena and a bright smile appeared on her face. "That wasn't so bad," she admitted, trying her best to not look at the ground. Her gaze looked up at the next branch and she bent all four legs to get ready to spring. After a few seconds, she pushed off with her hind legs and grabbed the thick branch with her front paws. At first, she struggled with holding on, but she finally got enough momentum to pull herself up again and successfully sat upon the thickest part. She gave a happy "Woohoo!" before deciding that she was high enough for the day. In no time at all, she got herself down and landed on the ground with a dull thud. Snow flew everywhere, creating a powdery mess to rise and fall on either side of her. She let the wet snow land on her thick fur and laughed softly. "That wasn't so bad," she admitted. "I will have to try the higher branches later...Thanks for the advice," she hastily added, a smile still on her tan face. "I may have hit my head if I didn't know how to remain balanced. I bet you had tons of fun on these branches when you were younger."
