14 ❄ ( VIDEO )

[ Guess whose internal almanac confirmed that today is officially the first day of Autumn? That's right, this guy! Who's currently bouncing around his treehouse like an over-caffeinated grasshopper while Baby Tooth peeks in the corner of the console screen with an expression like welp that's Jack for you. Whether viewers can perceive them, especially the newer arrivals, will remain to be seen. ]

WHOOOHOOO! Goodbye Summer, goodbye! Have a good vacation! Don't hurry back!

[ And then with a final whoop of joy, the feed turns off! Yeah, that's all he wanted to share. ]

You don't like being warm?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Not if I can help it! It runs kind of counterproductive to being the whole Spirit of Winter thing.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Spirit of Winter...?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

I... guess that didn't come up in our first conversation.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

[She shakes her head.]

No. It didn't.

[She leans in close, trying to get a better look at him through the screen.]

Are you really a spirit?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Sure am. Do you have spirits where you're from?

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

I've never seen one, but I think they do.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

That's probably why you could see and hear me right away. People who don't believe in spirits like me, usually can't.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Oh.

[She pauses, thinking something over.]

So you're the one who brings winter? The snow, the cold, the frost on the windows?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Yes! That's it exactly, Rapunzel.

[ Even after most of a year in Keeliai, having someone recognize what he does is a thrill. ]

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

[She smiles.]

I always liked the frost, even if I got cold. It was like looking at paintings made of ice.

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

That's how I've always looked at it. I can show you some, if you want?

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Right now?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Sure, if you wanted? It just won't last too long, it's still warm out.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Oh, that's true. Do you think it would be better if we waited?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

We don't have to wait, I don't mind. It's relaxing for me, to tell you the truth.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Alright. Then I'd love to see it.

[She beams brightly at him.] Should we meet somewhere?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

You're in one of the Wood buildings like me, so I'll just meet you at your place and we can go from there.

Re: video;

[watcheslanterns]

Okay! I'll be waiting, then.
