[Med'an's face appears on camera, looking tired. The past week and a half had not given the month a very good start, and he'd been quieter for it. His birthday had been nice, but after that...well, not. The fact that the Fae had been so malevolent worried him. And now there was something else.]

Aaron isn't here...

[In the kitchen of the inn, that

Aaron's gone.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[But we like Aaron. :( ]

We can't be sure...sometimes the Fae play tricks on us, or take people for a few weeks and bring them back...

[lonelyimmortal]

If he were here I would know. [After all that person was the last link he had to Pamela.] He did not go with the fae at day break. I was there as the queen and the fae retreated.

[breakin_ur_lore]

They could have taken him after that. Or even before. [...] Are you sure?

[junesoholic]

I haven't seen him around either..

Oh, I want to know if it'll snow too! If it's going to snow, maybe we can make snowmen.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[ffffff Nanako, Med'an was sort of thinking about that too. Usually he'd be more excited about it, but he was being depress. But if you're gonna be cute at him...]

We could build snow forts.

[junesoholic]

[ What is this depression you speak of. Nanako is going to spread cute around until everyone's happy again. ]

Forts? I've never built those before!

[breakin_ur_lore]

[You are the best little sister to everyone, Nanako <3333 ]

Well....me neither, actually. It never snowed enough where I lived. But I want to.

[tapferkeit]

Yeah, it gets pretty bad. I'm surprised there's no snow yet, actually. It nearly reached the rooftops last winter.

We've been stocking up for a while, but now we really need to put a lot of emphasis on it.

I haven't seen Aaron, but I'll keep an eye out.

[breakin_ur_lore]

It nearly reached the rooftops?! [LIKE ALL OVER? THAT IS HIGH IT DOESNT SNOW IN DUSKWOOD AAA D8 ] How...how are we going to prepare for that?!

[tapferkeit]

We've been preserving some of our meat in the basement of the Inn. Um... the people who can have been making furs and stuff, and we make sure we have fire spells to melt the ice and to cook with! Oh, and we put things over the windows, like stretched hides.

I'm not sure what we're going to do about vegetables. Some of them might still be okay, but we will be running out of them.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[He's still boggling a little. So much snow....o_o ]

Can we grow some inside? In pots?

[wyvern_guardian]

[ Have a headtilt from the dragon. Snow? She remembers snow! ]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[!!! Oh it's a dagron bb.]

Hi, Ember.

[...awkward pause. He's worried about your mommy, Ember....D: ]

[wyvern_guardian]

Rawr!

[ Hi Med'an! Hi Buddy! How you doin'? 8D

...wait why are you pausing? Have a curious headtilt. ]

Rrr?

[breakin_ur_lore]

Where's Mel, Ember? Is she okay?

[He's no good at keeping secrets. :| ]

[AUDIO]

[a_la_turk]

I'll have Geri canvas the area for him, Med'an. If Aaron's here, Geri will find him.

[ She frowns unseen at the alternative, but does not allow it to seep into her voice as she continues to speak. The idea of snow makes her wrinkle her nose, though. She isn't sure she'll ever get used to that stuff. ]

You are right, though. We are approaching the depths of winter. I doubt the missing would smile upon their return if the village was lacking proper stores either. It would be wise of us to see to our stores during this period of relative silence from the fae.

[breakin_ur_lore]

Alright. I haven't seen his pack, either. [Geri = dog = reminding him of the other dogs, see. He'll wait to see what Geri says, but he's not sure if he's willing to hope too much.]

I was thinking of going hunting. I could try to get some of the bigger game here.

[a_la_turk]

That...

[ Doesn't bode well and has the odds sinking further in Valeria's mind insofar as Aaron is concerned. His pack is never far when he's present and they always keep company at the inn. She pauses. ]

Big or small, we're going to need all the game we can get, Med'an. Just don't push yourself too hard, okay?

[breakin_ur_lore]

[You sound kind of not hopeful too, Val. That cements it for him. Sob. 8< ]

I won't.
