[ 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. ]

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.

[ilyana]

[Aww, she's so cute.]

Okay... If you can get some ice skates for us, I'll teach you everything I know.

[acuity]

It's a deal. I'll definitely try my best to find some, Miss Ilyana.

[ oh, finally here at the village! \o/ ]

[ilyana]

[Ilyana finally looks up, noticing they'd arrived at their destination taking her by surprise.]

Oh! We're here... for some reason I guess I lost track of the time. Will you be alright on your own now? You won't... go crashing into anymore people passing by, right?

[acuity]

Y-yes, I don't plan to do that again in the future. At least, not without more precaution...

But thank you for accompanying me.

[ilyana]

Hehe... I was just teasing you Pla-... Plati? Platter... umm... crashing girl? Shoot... umm...

[She seems to be wracking her brain trying to remember the name of her new friend.]

[acuity]

It's Platina. And this is empoleon.

[ awkward penguin waves a little :V ]

A pleasure!... Despite everything, I hope.

[ilyana]

Platina, Platina, Platina...

[She repeats it several times under her breath, putting her hands to her temples as she tries to imprint the name into her memory.]

Okay Platina, and Empoleon. Thank you... it was fun meeting you too.

[She gives a little wave, before finally going her separate way.]

[acuity]

Do take care of yourself, Miss Ilyana.

[ waving cheerfully at her when she leaves before doing the same. WHEW 8D/ ]
