[ 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. ]

Pretty sure that's supposed to be my line, Curls.

Want to help me set it up?

[myownhand]

[Give her a minute to ponder.]

I suppose I can help. What's in it for me?

[SHE'S TEASING I SWEAR.]

[wintershepherd]

Depends... how good a negotiator are you?

1/??? THIS SHOULDN'T BE LONG

[myownhand]

I have three younger brothers and a mother who tried to marr-

i'll just inform you when i am finished.

[myownhand]

rrrrcchhh int'a banquet hall filled with rowdy men!

nope still not done

[myownhand]

[heheh??]

Still not there

[myownhand]

[NO MER RECOVERY TIME. GOGOGOGO!]

Aye, it's a wee bit strange that she'd try t'do that, but that's mum for you. Always tryin' t'solve things she doesn't have to.

[NO MER STOP TALKING. REIGN IT IN.]

Done. 8D

[myownhand]

Honestly she can be a bit overbearin' in my opinion, but th'point is she saw that it was wrong and that she shouldn't do anythin' like that again.

[That was surely not suspicious at all. TOTALLY.]

[wintershepherd]

I don't know... I'd be kind of flattered if someone had paid that much attention to me. Don't be too hard on her, okay? She sounds like she cares a lot about you.

[myownhand]

[She just gives a bit of a bashful smile. No way she can deny that, really.]

Too bad y'can't come t'DunBroch and visit us. You'd see just how much attention she likes t'give all of us. She'd probably make y'dress up in a kilt and participate in th'games.

[actually, she gives that another moment of thought--]

Nevermind, that'd be my dad. Mum'd probably try t'teach y'how t'be a 'proper lord'. [Her back straights at those words, as if to imitate the posture her mother tried to make her have.]

[wintershepherd]

[ That smiles tells him what he needs to know about it, too... so whatever happened, all is well at the moment and he's glad for that. ]

Games sound like fun. Not sure even your mother could turn me into a proper anything though.

[myownhand]

You have never met my mother, she could turn a bear int'a proper lady if she was given enough time.

[....and that is actually kind of true, given the circumstances.]

[wintershepherd]

That may be true, but weren't we discussing your negotiating skills, not your mom's? Unless you're just going to help me for free.

[myownhand]

Well, I've been told I'm a lot like my mother, so I guess it all depends on what y'can offer me, Jack Frost.

[wintershepherd]

Hmmmmm....

[myownhand]

I'm waitin'.

[Insert Jeopardy theme song.]

If th'great Jokul Frosti has nothin' t'offer me, then it's a sad day for magic.

[wintershepherd]

How about a flight?

[myownhand]

Flight....


Like flyin'?

[That's what he said Merida.]

[wintershepherd]

Unless you think that'd be boring.

1/3

[myownhand]

What!? No--

2/3

[myownhand]

[WAIT. Cool your jets princess--]

3/4 NOPE SORRY. CHANGED MY MIND

[myownhand]

[Now watch her stand all lady like and proper.]

That would be...

[myownhand]

--acceptable.

[NAILED THAT LANDING.]

[wintershepherd]

Oh, well... I don't know. I was hoping for something with a little more enthusiasm, so I think I come up with something you'd actually enjoy instead.

[myownhand]

You'll get my enthusiasm when I get t'up in th'air.
