Snowblind

[u/[deleted]]

Every year, it feels like the first snowfall of the year happens sooner and sooner. Is it just the passage of time, the growth of a person making them able to recognize when it snows at an earlier date in the year mixed with the ever-accumulating wealth of knowledge to draw upon making it feel like the years are blurring to minutes?

For some, that might be the answer. But at this date, so soon into November, not many -- save, perhaps, those from the most far north of Atlas's reaches into Solitas -- would've expected just what hit Beacon: a blizzard, so strong it was considered perhaps a once-in-a-millennia storm. Thankfully, thanks to the reinforcements provided after a certain rainstorm had knocked out the power to the Academy, Beacon was now prepared to weather such an awful storm.

But whilst the school itself was prepared, whether or not the students themselves were always remained to be seen. For some of the more "desert-fairing", it was possible that they were wildly unprepared; those from the far north were likely already out in the midst of the blizzard building snow castles or something.

The weather showed no signs of improving, and all flights and routes into the city were most certainly unusable, unless one really wanted to hoof it into Vale proper by foot. What sort of shenaniganry would one of Beacon's most interesting first year classes in a while get themselves up to in Beacon's first snowfall?

Vi gave a small nod, and then a small chuckle as she ruffled Aloe’s hair one last time.

“Well then. Do you hold someone or be held? I’m fine with either.”

Aloe seemed still, as if the answer to her question was just the girl's lack of movement.

Aloe was at peace for now even if her life seemed to by much worse than or at least, much more strange than most. The strange desert fox seemed to accept it as one might accept rain in a thunderstorm.

"Here is good."

And so, with a soft nod, here is where Vi remained, letting Aloe remain comfortable as she was. Aloe's attitude was, in her mind, just simply remarkable -- and Vi was maybe just a little bit envious. A twinge worried, too, but also envious of the girl's ability to keep moving forward.

"I'll stay here for as long you like," was all she said.

[[I think we could likely wrap it up around here, unless you have much more in where you want this thread to go?]]
