[shiro2hero]

[He just... stares at her. Deadpan.]

[And then puts another cookie in his mouth.]



Allura you know I have no idea what either of those are. Right?

[princessences]

[ Rude.

Allura huffs. ]

I assure you it's quite hilarious in Altean.

[shiro2hero]

I believe you.

I just don't know what any of those things are.

[princessences]

Well, if I had to explain it, it would ruin the joke.

[ Now she's taking an oreo and just biting into it. ]

But I will say that these are quite delicious.

[shiro2hero]

I'll take your word on it.

[A grin, propping his chin up on one hand.]

They're Oreos. I... may have missed them a little too much.

[princessences]

I can certainly see why.

[ She'll finish off the cookie, even though the frosting is her favorite part. ]

I know this isn't your Earth, but here is something to having the comforts of home, isn't there?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, there is. It's close enough to feel pretty good, sometimes.

[He trails off, realizing this is heading close to a... somewhat awkward subject.]

[That one of them doesn't have the "comforts of home".]

Found anything you like, yet?

[princessences]

[ A part of her is a little jealous of that, yes, but she won't admit that aloud without some supernatural intervention. ]

I find the weather here to be pleasant enough, though it could be a little warmer.

[shiro2hero]

[Yeah how about that huh.]

You're cold? Should... we turn the heat up?

[princessences]

[ Allura shakes her head. ]

I'm perfectly fine, but thank you for the gesture. It's akin to some of the milder seasons we had on Altea, actually.

[shiro2hero]

So... break out the hot drinks, but not the snow gear? Essentially?

[... did Altea have snow? Does she know that term?]

[princessences]

[ Allura shakes her head, reaching for another cookie. ]

It never got that cold. I've only seen snow off planet on rare occasions.

[ Wait. ]

...It snows here?

[shiro2hero]

Then I'd brace yourself.

If we really are somewhere like "Maine", then... the winters can be bad. A lot of snow, a lot of storms.

[Not to mention the times it's snowed here randomly for a few days.]

[princessences]

Oh.

[ She really hadn't even considered how different the weather might be. All the descriptions of the Garrison had been hot and desert, and this place had been relatively mild. It seemed decent enough.

But snow?

... ]

How much is a lot?

[shiro2hero]

[He grimaces. And holds his hand a few feet up off the floor.]

That's what I've heard, anyway. I never visited in the winter.

Maybe ask around, for a better idea.

[princessences]

...

[ Please keep your Altean warm, Shiro. ]

It...sounds like that will be exciting.

[shiro2hero]

[He pauses.]




I'll get some more blankets.

[princessences]

[ Now she worries--is this building built to withstand weather like that? It seems awfully drafty. ]

Yes, that will be nice.

[ Chuchule and Platt squeak in agreement. ]

They thank you as well.

[shiro2hero]

[It should be, if it's really meant to be Maine... hopefully.]

Hey, no problem. Anything you guys need... I'll do my best.

[Those two are getting one more cookie, though.]
