[ Bariyan manages to dig the treads of his boots in to keep himself from slipping, then keeps movement to a minimum to allow Feferi time to regain balance.

In the meanwhile, he tosses his hair. ]

That's exactly it. And I don't know-- I'm able to blend in amongst these humans well enough, but I still feel a stranger. Perhaps there is nothing for it but to strike out into the snowy wilderness alone.

[fintastic]

That's not true at all, you just need to embrace both sides of yourself and realize that your values and and morals and the good you do in the world are more important than whether you are a human or a yeti!

[ What is even going on here. ]

[stonefaith]

[ Bariyan grins at Feferi, and then bursts into laughter. Carefully, slowly -- so as to not send her flying out over the ice -- he lets her go, and snaps his fingers. ]

By the-- by the yeti gods, you're right! Thank you, Lady Feferi! I shall never forget what you've said!

[fintastic]

Good! I'm glad we had this talk.

[ She is feeling much more coordinated now, and looks off in the direction she was headed briefly before she looks back at him. ]

If you're not doing anything important, would you like to... come with me, for a little while?

[stonefaith]

[ Bariyan looks back towards his sled. He cocks his head to one side. ]

Certainly! Let me just--

[ --collect his sled. He goes back to where he'd abandoned it and picks it up, hefting it under one arm. Then he nods to Feferi. ]

Where to?

[fintastic]

Into civilization! If you think you are ready.

[ She's already starting to push herself off in the direction she was headed. ]

[stonefaith]

Oh, I suppose so! I've only been living in it for a few months. [ Bariyan readjusts his grip on the sled and sets off after Feferi, grinning. ] It was getting cold out here, anyway.

[fintastic]

Do you live in town? I'm just going to get groceries, but we don't live that close to any of the natives. For reasons.

[ Reasons being things like... she likes to take off her hologram every now and again, for example. ]

[stonefaith]

[ Ah. There it is. Confirmation that she isn't native. Bariyan grins to himself and hums a little tune. ]

I do live in town. I can get away with it when I'm not being a yeti, see? I can show you where I live before you get your groceries -- I'd like to drop my sled off, anyway.

[fintastic]

Ah, yes! That makes sense.

[ She nods very sagely, almost as if she's forgotten the whole yeti bit was a ruse. ]

I'd like to see it. Lead the way!

[stonefaith]

[ With permission granted, Bariyan takes the lead, striding out ahead of Feferi. Fortunately, it's not too far to town, and Bariyan knows all the shortcuts.

The house is wedged right between two larger buildings -- (some sort of facility for the scientists on the right, and another house on the left) -- and there's a star ornament hanging on the door. Bariyan fumbles around for his keys to unlock the door, looking around and listening as he steps inside. ]

Hmm. Doesn't seem as if the Daltons are in. Anyway, my room's over here--

[ He makes a turn into the first door on the left, opening it to reveal a small, crowded room -- bed wedged into the northwest corner, dresser hulking along the far wall, armor piled and hastily shoved under his bed, though the gleaming edge of a greave is sticking out.

He swings himself around the door to prop the sled up agains the wall behind it. ]

[fintastic]

Who?

[ She leans in the doorway, holding onto the door frame, before taking a few tentative steps inside and stopping. Walking on skates, at least, was something she could handle, but she didn't want to risk ruining the flooring. ]

This is a nice hi-- home you have!

[stonefaith]

The people I live with. A family. [ Bariyan comes out from behind the door, surreptitiously kicks the greave back under the bed, and then returns to Feferi. He brushes his hands off and smiles. ]

All right, that's done. Now-- groceries? Also... shoes, perhaps? [ He looks down at Feferi's skates. ]

[fintastic]

[ She stares at him dumbly for a second, before she perks up again and nods. ]

Right! Shoes!

[ Right where she stands, she slips out of her skates and captchalogues them, and takes out her boots, slipping them on and lacing them quickly. ]

Shoes are good! Come on, let's go!

[ She's so fast, she's already out the door and into the snow. ]

[stonefaith]

[ Captchaloguing takes Bariyan by surprise; he's not... exactly certain, what happened there, but his first instinct is to panic and hastily look around to see if any of the natives noticed through the open door. But the streets are empty.

Bariyan rubs his jaw as Feferi dances out. ]

Er...

[ Should he bother asking? No? No, the moment's already passed. Bariyan laughs to himself, and exits the house to follow along. ]

[fintastic]

[ It's just such an ingrained action, but from behind, it just looks like a girl changing her shoes. They could easily have been left behind just inside the door, nothing suspicious here! ]

Yes? What is it?

[ She looks back over her shoulder at his hesitation though. ]

[stonefaith]

[ Bariyan scratches his head as he catches up with Feferi, adjusting his hood against the wind. ]

Oh, nothing, really-- I was just wondering where your skates went.

[fintastic]

Oh!

[ That's right, this Bariyan isn't used to and/or resigned to strange troll possessions like sylladexes yet. ]

I captchalogued them.

[ That doesn't help. ]

[stonefaith]

Ah. Right.

[ You can almost see Bariyan going cross-eyed with confusion. He shakes his head vigorously, then laughs and waves Feferi on. ]

Never mind. We best get moving, before the wind picks up.

[fintastic]

[ Probably better that she doesn't try to explain, really. ]

Oh yeah! That would make it kind of hard to get to the store. I think the wind is the worst part about the cold.
