[Nora has finally decided to bite the bullet and go out into the snow. She figures it's probably going to be around for at least another month so she might as well do something, right?

Right.

So she's decided to try her hand at snow sculptures. Some might just make snow men. She got a little more creative with the idea. She's set herself up a fair distance away from the strange people under the light, not wanting to be disrespectful of whatever that's supposed to be. Humming softly to herself she puts the finishing touches on a shark heading straight for an unsuspecting snowman.]

((OOC: That's right, kids. Nora's making Calvin and Hobbes snowmen outside. COME JOIN HER! She, uh, may have put firecrackers in a few of them, too. So watch out for exploding snowmen.))

[He stops. It was the castle. Not anyone else. And certainly not Nora. He steps away, turning his back to her. After a couple seconds of just breathing, he turns around.]

I don't want to argue with you.

[Softly]

Then don't...

[She turns around, going back to her work so he can't see the hurt in her eyes]

[thetrudger]

[He watches her work for a minute, standing helplessly. What had he done? Messed everything up, as usual.]

I didn't mean to... Nora, I...

[He's getting more and more choked up as he speaks. The only way of escape he can see is to leave. Leave before something more terrible comes out of his mouth.]

I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry, Nora. I'll... I'll talk to you later.

[And he'll be hurrying off in the direction of the town now.]

[She turns around and watches him leave, not saying a word.]
