Karla is outside in the cold, skipping across the surface of the lake as if it were frozen and ocassionally just skimming along the surface, singing to herself. The increasing cold reminds her of home, and it puts her in a nostalgic but good mood.

Armand doesn't like cold but he goes out anyway, trying to think about the house. If he didn't get the plans done, there'd be no way to get it built quickly. The holidays were coming fast. And he still needed to make his list for when he went shopping in London with Draco.

So many things on his mind that he's standing on the shore watching Karla skim about on the water for a long time before he realizes it's her. Then he waves and calls to her.

She spins around and nearly falls over, surprised, but skates over to him and jumps off the water onto the shoreline and gives him a broad grin. "Hey, you."

[sweariwontdie]

"Hey," he echoes, smiling. "You looked lovely out there. Is it fun?"

[glacianbitch]

Cheeks flushed, she beams at him. "It's glorious. I used to do that every winter with Morton after the lakes froze over without magic. But I couldn't wait."

Morton spots her from the shore and grins, after a moment he's also skating along the surface of the lake like it's ice. He's trying to be sneaky about it, coming up fast and low, mischevious grin on his face.

Karla is, for once, blissfully unaware, and continues humming to herself, completely oblivious to the approaching danger. She's rather distracted.

Morton laughs just as he reaches her, hopefully it's enough for her to recognize who he is before he pops up and grabs her around the waist.

She squeals in unfeigned surprise and flails a little. "Morton!"
