Planning on dragonhaven very soon, now that OCs are allowed!

[Dear mun, this is the look of a girl who really doesn't like what you're thinking.]

You...you're serious about this, aren't you? There's no way that it could end well for anyone involved, not for me, a-and not for anyone I might meet there, especially not at this time of year!

Couldn't you send one of the girls from that other universe instead?

[ANIMAL PARTS ALL UP IN HERE. This time, though, it's a salamander girl. The slimy, red-orange skin gives it away.]

"This time of the year," huh? What's the matter? Not a fan of the cold?

—Well, I can't say I am either, so it's not like I'm getting down on you for that! [As if to punctuate her point, she draws her cloak around herself a little tighter.] But it's not like winter lasts forever. Surely you can tough it out for just a couple of weeks?

[biothermal]

No...not at all. It— [How should she put this...] —it hurts me. Sometimes it hurts a lot. [There's also the fact that being in the cold too long makes her act anywhere from just a little loopy to absolutely dangerous. While she doesn't directly state as much, she shrinks away just a tiny bit almost as if to suggest being near her at a time like this is not a good idea.]

I could try to tolerate it to some extent, but...if it starts getting really bad...

[salamandrine]

Of course it hurts. That's why it's so important to dress properly in cold weather! Coats and gloves and boots and hats and those fluffy things you put on your ears. Do you have any idea how much heat you lose through your ears? That's why rabbits that live in the desert have such big ones — so they can stay cool!

Anyway, maybe getting the worst of it out of the way first will be for the best! And I'm sure your mun won't let you die or anything like that. There wouldn't be much point to sending you there if they did, would there?

I miss having edit buttons already,

[biothermal]

My definition of "properly" is...a bit different than everyone else I know. Try two coats and three hats simultaneously. I can barely even move when I do that, and it's embarrassing. [Wait what? Is she joking, or does the cold seriously bother her that much?]

No, there wouldn't...but maybe I'll just get lucky and he'll change his mind about this whole idea for some reason or another; he's been really indecisive as of late.

I know that feeling.

[salamandrine]

[Rue seems fairly unperturbed her description of her winter attire. Instead, she puffs up her cheeks and wags a scolding finger at her for a different reason entirely.] "Embarrassing" or not, your health should come before your pride! It's important to stay warm in the winter, or you'll catch a cold!

[...She's picked up on the fact that Nina seems to have more to worry about than winding up with a runny nose and a cough, but it's not her style to let as much on. So, with her admonishment delivered, she grins again.]

Depending on the fickle whims of chance to solve your problems, huh? Wawawa~. Normally, I wouldn't approve of that either, but I guess in a situation like this there's not much else you can do!

[biothermal]

[Nina appears to be mildly-irritated by Rue's admonishment, but at the same time she appreciates that what could be considered over-dressing by most is not actually being questioned here.] ...A cold. Right.

Trying to make him reconsider wouldn't do anything, nor would it actually be possible to begin with... I mean, I can't exactly try to hug him from here. [Coming from her? That could actually be a legit threat.]

[salamandrine]

[In addition to acting oblivious, Rue is good at not questioning things. Case in point: She passes over the bit about hugging entirely.]

Hm... I don't normally condone the use of threats, either. They just seem so brutish and inelegant! In a case where your well-being is on the line, though, I guess I could make an exception to the usual rule.

...Not that it matters in the end, I suppose! Like you said, it's not a feasible option either way. Wa, oh well~.
