[ backdated to before the elves, just when the snow is really heavily piling up! SOMEBODY has just been dumped out beyond the village after her de-hiatus kidnapping, and gave up wading through the packed snow after like five minutes. so she's trying a different tactic.

wherever you are, there's suddenly a girl on an armored penguin calling out for you to WATCH OUT!! as she sleds down the slope, swerving to avoid hitting you....... and then crashing into a tree. awkward. the only way that could be even more awkward is if you'd been unlucky and stepped out from behind a tree, out-of-sight, so that you didn't even get a warning before the girl and her penguin crash straight into you instead. whooops. ]

She is indeed a friend! More specifically, an empoleon. Say hello!

[ awkward penguin waves a flipper like YO... o/ ]

[ilyana]

[Ilyana just sort of nervously waves back.]

Hello miss empoleon...

[acuity]

[ CHIRRUP, what's up :V i'm not scary am I... ]

[ilyana]

She's... actually kind of cute really. How long have the two of you been together?

[acuity]

Actually, now that I think about it... less than a year. But it feels like we've always been together.

[ilyana]

[Ilyana finally props herself back up, using her physic staff for support.]

I see... so did the two of you meet in Luceti?

[acuity]

No, we came from Sinnoh together. But, speaking of Luceti... would you happen to know the right way back?

[ staying out here is p chilly :T ]

[ilyana]

Oh... yes of course... I almost forgot in all that excitement that it's starting to get a little chilly.

[Ilyana doesn't look dressed for the weather at all, being in a short skirt that doesn't even go halfway down her thighs.]

Umm... I think it's this way...

[She starts walking, apparently deciding to simply lead the way.]

... What's Sinnoh like?

[acuity]

[ same here! what are pants. good thing she has gr8 cold tolerance, and she just follows along, penguinbro by her side. ]

What is it like?... That's a broad question.

[ THINKING OF HOW TO ANSWER... ]

[ilyana]

[Pants are highly overrated anyways.]

Well... let's start off with something basic then? ... What's the food like in Sinnoh?

[If you were Ilyana, that would be the most basic question for you too :|]

[acuity]

I suppose there's a wide variety. I've visited a few restaurants during my travels... but none of them came close to my friend's cooking.

[ilyana]

Really? Who's your friend?

[She totally wasn't thinking of pinning them down and begging them to cook for her... nope.]

[acuity]

His name is Diamond. We traveled together, with another friend... a lot happened, but he's very talented at what he does!

[ilyana]

Reminds me of a few of the friends I knew from back home... Did he ever find his way to Luceti?

[acuity]

... Apparently he was here, once. But I wasn't.

[ilyana]

Oh... I'm sorry... For what it's worth... that kind of thing happened to my friend too.

[acuity]

I suppose it happens to a lot of people. But I'm sorry it did to you, too.

[ilyana]

Well... there's no point in worrying about it too much... right? What kind of things did you do together in Sinnoh? Was the climate a lot like Luceti?

[acuity]

I suppose so. And it's similar enough. The weather now is rather reminiscent of Snowpoint City... I enjoy it~

[ holding palms out to catch snowflakes \o/ ]

[ilyana]

I rather like this weather too... back in Daein I used to like to go Ice Skating... before all the wars started anyways.

[She sort of twirls in her leather boots, imagining them as ice skates.]

I wasn't really that good at it though... My balance was always off when I was hungry.

[acuity]

Ice skating? I've never tried! But I'd like to... I wonder if it's similar to skiing.

[ SHE IS AFAILURE AT IT. ]

[ilyana]

Mmm... not quite... It's more like...

[Let her think on that for a moment.]

Have you ever tried sliding on a large patch of ice in your shoes? Like a frozen puddle or something like that? It's a bit like that... only with a little more control once you learn how.

[acuity]

I don't think I've slipped on ice before. I'm normally not very clumsy.

[ YES, SHE IS. ]

But I'd like to try this, if possible!

[ilyana]

Umm...

[Clearly Ilyana doesn't really believe the not being very clumsy bit, given their introduction.]

Well if you like, I could try to teach you sometime... I'm not sure if there are any ice skates in Luceti though, so we might have to ask someone to smith them.

[acuity]

Would you? I'd like that! And making custom skates would be more than acceptable, too.
