"I'm JonJon! This is Rezorin! He's actually nice." JonJon assured her. Rezorin couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Whats your name?' JonJon asked curiously

[CrimsonMoon]

She laughs softly," I'm Aeva," and pushes her blonde streaked hair from her face

[deepwallow]

"Nice to meet you, Aeva!" JonJon says. "That dancing was awesome!!!! how'd you do that?" JonJon questioned. "It was very good." Rezorin agreed with a small smile. The smile was reserved, but definitely something hard earned from the Ice-landers

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva seems to relax slightly at his smile, flashing him back a less nervous smile," We're taught it.. when we're really young.."

[deepwallow]

"Why is that? I do not know much about you Fire Folk." He said. "Only Fire Folk Nikoli stays here with us year round, and he's become part of the Ice. As much as he can." Rezorin said. When one became part of the Ice, then that one was accepted as part Ice-lander and allowed to see more of the Ice-lander's society

[CrimsonMoon]

she glances toward the dancers, why did she feel colder whenever she got close to these guys..?" So we can remember it for the rest of our lives.. do it right and make it better, Sakura always loves progress."

[deepwallow]

Rezorin thought on this before nodding. "That is admirable. Progress is something to strive for." He agreed, the small smile again. "And the dancing is awesome!!!!" JonJon piped in. Rezorin glanced at him and his smile widened to one full of warmth and affection, much, much different than the reserved one he gave her

[CrimsonMoon]

despite seeing the obvious difference in his smiles, she felt her heart warmed.... He loved that kid... probably his kid.." Y-Yes.." She agrees softly, quickly looking down with an embarassed look

[deepwallow]

"So, did you just come here for the celebration? I'm sure one of the higher ups forced you to come here. It's a cold land." Rezorin chuckled, looking back to her, his smile returning to the reserved one again

[CrimsonMoon]

" Actually... I volunteer every year," She answers, her gaze flickering back to his eyes," I... think it's different.."

[deepwallow]

Rezorin actually looks surprised and chuckles. "Well, then you're certainly different than most Fire Folk I've encountered." He mused, his smile widening slightly in amusement. "The chill scares away most. The chill and the ice"

[CrimsonMoon]

She smiles faintly," I DO seem to have a knack for slipping on the clear ice... But.. it's a different cold, I like it.."

[deepwallow]

Rezorin's eyes fill with a bit of amusement as he chuckles and shakes his head. "A strange Fire Folk you are indeed, Aeva, to like the cold. Though this is not the true cold. That comes when the winds howl more; now is the time of mildest winds, and this town is very close to the border. Further in, however… there is the True Ice"

[CrimsonMoon]

She tilts her head and closes her eyes as if imagining it,"... Is that where Frezor walks..?" She asked, almost biting her tongue when saying.. THAT name.. she had been taught to fear and hate the God of Ice and Cold.. After all, he was her Mother's enemy..

[deepwallow]

Rezorin blinked in surprise once more. "Yes. That is where he walks." He admitted, guarded. Ice-landers were very secretive, especially about their god. "What do you know of Frezor?"

[CrimsonMoon]

realizing she had probably said to much, she tries to feign ignorance," O-only that he rules these lands... not much else.." but she knew mre then that.... far more..

[deepwallow]

Rezorin regarded her with narrowed eyes, suspicious. But Jonjon, seeing this tension, grabbed both of their hands. "I wanna go play more games, and I want Aeva to come!!!" He insisted. Rezorin blinked and then laughed. "Only if she agrees!" He said, his warm smile back and, for an instant, he looked at her and it remained on his face as he waited for her answer

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva feels her instincts suddenly scream 'BAD BAD BAD-' but she ignores it and smiles back at him sweetly," Of course, i'll only be able to escape the others for an hour or two..!"

[deepwallow]

"Then let's go!!!" JonJon exclaimed as he dragged the two along. Rezorin laughed heartily as he let the little boy drag both him and Aeva from stall to stall, playing all the strange games and insisting they play along with him too. Rezorin smiled warmly the whole time, the normal chill of the Ice-Landers falling away

[CrimsonMoon]

Aeva struggled to learn the games at first but eventually catches on. her experience with dancing helped her in many of the games on ice, probably from strengthening her muscles... but she eventually starts to laugh and let go of the tension
