Zena, a place of wonder, beauty, and snow. Lots and lots of white fluffy snow. Enough of it to create a flood in Tale, to drown the plants in Jauhar, and to make more than enough canyons in Sauti. Yeaaah, lots of snow...
Yaholo didn't quite know why he had agreed to travel to Zena with Natsu, or why he wasn't feeling so well as he climbed higher and higher into the mountains with him. The other faces beside him, being those of Natsu's adoptive brother and young nephew, created more mixed emotions within him. Rastian was very serious, Ogbonna was brimming with cheer, and Natsu... Natsu was way ahead of them. But as for himself... Well... He...
He honestly felt like throwing up.
"How long until we reach this Viveka guy, Nassu?" He groaned, slurring his friend's name as he spoke. Seriously, what the hell was wrong with him? His head hurt, his stomach hurt, the hell was going on?!

Natsu turned his head back towards Yaholo and paused. Why was he acting so funny? He blinked a few times and wandered back towards the trio.
"We're only a few feet away!" He exclaimed, placing his hand on Yaholo's shoulder. He studied the taller man carefully, perplexed as to why he was so pale, and turned to Rastian. "Hey, Healer in training, why's he so pale?"

Rastian turned his attention towards Natsu rather coldly and scoffed. Every ******** time they went to Zena, someone got some sort of sickness or injury. Was this really a Healer's life? He shook his head and nudged Natsu away from Yaholo in order to study the other half-breed further. After a moment of "examination" he sighed, offered Yaholo and smile, and handed him a root from his bag.
"Nothing to worry about, you've only got altitude sickness." He deduced. "It'll fade once we sit down and rest for a bit. However, you should eat something to keep your stomach in check until then."
Then, as he turned to meander forward, a clump of snow slammed against his backside, causing him to make a harsh 180 to the side and growl.
"OGBONNA!" He screamed. "I DON'T WANT TO THROW SNOWBALLS WITH YOU! I'VE EXPLAINED THAT FIFTEEN ******** TIMES ALREADY! GAAAAAA!"

"YOU ARE LAZY!" Ogbonna cried, his arsenal of snowballs growing by the second. He taunted his uncle with a few awkward faces before he hopped over towards the trio, offering a few snowballs up to Yaholo. Without waiting for an answer, he plopped them down upon the root he held in his hand and wiggled over to Natsu who he gave an equal amount to. Then, with a rather devious expression, he raised his hand towards Rastian and took a deep breath.
"ATAAAAAAACK!" He bellowed, throwing the snowball with all his might.

Well, despite his best efforts, Ogbonna neglected to add in the factor of wind resistance to his throwing power, and thus sent his snowball hurtling several feet off his mark. Instead of slamming straight into Rastian's chest as planned it veered to the right and hurtled onward until it made contact with a certain dark haired boy who had been running towards the group.
"YEEEK!" Viveka screeched as the snowball collided with his stomach. He slipped backwards and slammed down up the snow bank, his eyes wide with fright. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! Slowly, he rose to his feet again and dusted himself off, before bending over to gather a snowball of his own. "Okay! That was an Ogbonna throw! YOU'RE IN FOR IT, BOY!" He lumbered forward and chucked his perfectly packed ball of revenge, but fell face forward into the snow as his cloak became tangled in the snow.
"AH! Help! I'm stuck!" He called out, rather pathetically.

Yaholo shuddered as his hand was suddenly covered in snow. How was this stuff fun to use? It hurt! He wiggled his hand free from the snow just in time to catch Viveka falling into the snow. Was he okay?
"Are you alright?" He called. "This snow stuff hurts like hell!"

Natsu had already raced his way over to Viveka's side, tugging him gently from the snow and dusting him off. The pair shared a kiss and a nuzzle, before joining the group again.
"Yaholo, this is Viveka!" He introduced, before turning to Rastian. "You have that thing for him, right Rastian? The thing? I can't remember what it was that you had to give to him, what was it?"
All the while the winds seemed to grow harsher, which made even Viveka shudder.

Rastian scoffed and nodded. Yeah, yeah, he had it. Of course, he was the only responsible person on this trip, except for Yaholo, whom he hadn't really met yet. So far, Yaholo was kind, funny, and looked incredibly uncomfortable whilst wandering amongst the snow. Poor guy, Zena wasn't for him, it seemed.
"I'll give it to you when we find some shelter," He said, brushing past the pair. "Yaholo isn't accustomed to the cold, and that cloak won't give him enough heat for much longer. It's a flimsy cloak meant for use in Sauti weather, not Zena. Thus, let's hurry to Joln'ku's like we had pla-" He froze, staring daggers at Ogbonna. "Don't you dare put that snowball where I think you're putting it, or you'll have some blinding powder to claw out of your eyes as a reward."

Ogbonna frowned and tossed the snowball behind him. He wasn't going to put it anywhere bad, just on his shoulder! Where else could he put it that would be bad? He paused a moment, scratched his chin, and started giggling.
"Rastian! I wasn't putting snow in your pants!" He laughed. "That would give your frost bite it the worst place ever!"
After his laughing fit had ceased he moved to stand by Yaholo. He studied the Guard's face carefully, as if perplexed by something, and gently brushed the snow off of his hands.
"Too much snow makes your hands red, Yaho." He said, in a matter of fact tone.

Viveka smiled towards Yaholo and chuckled at Ogbonna. He didn't look exactly thrilled to meet Yaholo, nor did he look disinterested in him. It was more of a wary approach than a friendly one.
"Lovely to meet you, Yaholo." He said, extending his hand. However, as he did, his gaze caught how uncomfortable to Guard looked, causing him to grab his arm instead. "Yeah, you look terrible! Let's get to Joln'ku's house on the double for some tea!"

Admittedly, Yaholo wasn't focusing on what was going on around him, as much as he was focusing on how much his hand hurt. In fact, his whole body felt the burn of the snow, despite the cloak he was wearing. It was pretty flimsy, but it was pretty. The tribal pattern that adorned it made it pleasing to the eye and the Roati fur was pleasant, but it didn't cover the entire thing. Thus, as he was dragged further up the mountain, the chill only became worse.
"Are we there yet?" He grumbled. "I'm having a hard time walking and my skin burns..."

Natsu, who was far up ahead, turned his head back towards Yaholo and nodded.
"Just up these stairs!" He cried, tugging Viveka along. "You're going to adore Joln'ku, she's a riot!"

Rastian, who had stuck close to Yaholo's side, rolled his eyes towards his brother. Natsu thought everyone was just as he was, thick skinned. He was treating Yaholo's frostbitten skin as if it didn't exist. He looked to the Guard beside him and helped move him along.
"I'll help you, don't worry." He muttered, gently pulling Yaholo forward. "As soon as we get to Joln'ku's home, she'll have a fire waiting, so you can warm up. Just bear with Natsu a little longer, he's not exactly the brightest gem in the sea."

Ogbonna stuck close to Rastian and Yaholo, his eyes glued to the dark skinned man before him. He really didn't like the snow, did he? His skin was very red and unhappy with the wind, sort of like he was allergic to it... Poor guy! He pouted and linked arms with the Guard.
"I'll help you, too!" He exclaimed. "My arm will keep you warm, you feel?"

Viveka paused every so often to check on the three men behind him and let out a sigh. Poor guy, he did look sick, didn't he? Maybe it was a bad idea for Natsu to invite someone so used to heat all the way up into the mountains. Still, Yaholo had wanted to come up here and see what it was like, so he sort of had it coming. The blue haired man shook his head and wandered up some stairs carved into the side of a mountain ridge just as Natsu dashed up them.
"Don't run, Natsu! You could fall!" He shrieked. "Remember what happened last time you ran like this! Wait for us! WAIT!"
