[ Someone's chilling in boxers in a steaming hot spring he'd obviously made for himself. Problem is, everything around him is covered in an ungodly amount of snow. ]
You never actually miss the sight of hot babes in short skirts and plunging necklines until your spire gets dumped in a place so cold Satan would probably freeze his butthairs off. On the bright side, I think I might've spotted a yeti. Or that might've been someone's mother-in-law, who knows?
[ Still, Johnny looks largely unaffected by the mildly unfriendly climate. He's fishing an egg out of the hot spring, cracking it on the ice. It's hard-boiled. ]
So, anyway, Gailleann's basically stuck in Everwinter. When life gives you snowballs, make an awesome sport out of it, right? [ He bites into the egg, chews carefully, then swallows and adds: ] If you're sick of the tropical, muggy weather and want to come by, the Spire's open to you. The fires are always burning in Gaillean. Just don't try to kill anyone, and we're good.
More importantly: there's a new skating rink that my guys just worked overtime to make, and a bunch of awesome slopes I spent days creating; go nuts on it and tell me what you think! I'm always a fan of continuous improvement.

[ Johnny points out gently. He's gonna make her accept the title of 'friend' HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES HIM!!!! ] Are you exploring the world?
video.
[ it comes out as almost a huff, petulant as she turns her head. ]
I am relearning the pathways. Many things I had read about or heard told in legend, but seeing them alive is something altogether different.
video.
Things like really old races, huh?
video.
Perhaps so. The Elven Clans may well still be united, not yet split to create their own worlds, and the humans that rested upon this land might not yet have found reason for warfare. We are reborn in a time of peace, and some might well take advantage of that.

video.
Do I appear the peaceful kind, Baron Storm?
video.
Anyway, what else is going on with you besides that?
video.
Very little. I seek my Lord and my home; that is all.
video.
You're all pink!

[ She's never coming back to the Spire. She's decided. ]
video.
[ If Lae isn't forthcoming, he doesn't want to prod too much. ] Where are you at now, anyway?
video.
[ Huff. ]
Nimh Gleanne, for now, and then South as I seek my Lord.
video.
Well hey, you can come back around to Everwinter if you like. I'll teach you how to ski.
video.
[ She frowns, head tilting. ]
What is a 'ski'?
video.
Well, two things. For your feet.
video.
[ Huffs. ]
It sounds foolish.
video.
[ He tells her cheerfully, undiminished by the indictment on his choice of sport. ]
What do you say, wanna let me teach you?
video.
One day. That is all I will give.
video.
video.
video.
You know, I always wanted to ask -- have you ever done spur-of-the-moment things before?
video.
[ ... At least here she looks a little pensive, head tilted. ]
What is a 'spur-of-the-moment'? Why would a metal tool have a place in a moment?
