"Indeed it does. I have never made one either, but I have seen children build them. They always seemed to enjoy themselves." In truth she envied those children. Able to shed all worries and have so much fun that it was like nothing else mattered in the world. She had often thought of asking Nalini to build one with her, but could never bring herself to ask.

"Wanna make a snowman?" inquired Jeireth. There was no reason why they couldn't. They had the snow for it, the time for it....why couldn't they make one? Sure they were adults, but that really didn't matter to Jeireth. Who cares what society thinks? If they want to make a snowman they should be able to.

Again, surprise registered on her face. Delight sparkled in the depths of her red eyes. "Yes, I would like make a snowman Mister Jeireth."

"Alrighty then, let's do it!" replied Jeireth with perhaps a bit more enthusiasm than would be expected from an adult demonic. He started off by starting on making a snowball, planning on it being the bottom. "I think to start out with we should make three average sized snowballs and then roll them around to collect more snow one by one." He wasn't exactly sure how children made snowmen, but he knew what one looked like and understood that snow stuck together fairly well.

Keida began to scoop up some of the packable snow to make a snowball of her own. Her paws trying to mimic the movements of hands of the many children she had watched through out the years. "How large is considered average?" She had watched the children from quite a ways away, so she did not know how big the balls of snow were supposed to be.

Jeireth thought for a moment as he continued packing the snow together to form a spherical shape. He really didn't know how big the norm was. After a moment's thought he guessed, "Maybe the whole thing is about 3-4 feet tall, not counting the top hat?"

Keida's continued to run over the snowball till she was satisfied with its roundness. She began to roll in in the snow to make it bigger. "I shall make the head." Her mind began formulating a plan oh how to aquire a top hat.

"Okay then, I'll make the bottom. I think the middle part is roughly the halfway point between the body and the head, so that should be made last, right?" Jeireth was certainly overthinking this as he continued to make the bottom, now to the point where he was rolling it around to collect snow, packing it every so often to maintain the round shape.

"Yes, it should be last so we can make sure it is the perfect size." Keida continued to carefully roll the ball that would be the head around. With new layer it grew bigger and bigger. Soon it would be an adequate size. "Then we shall need to find twigs for arms, and stones to make the face and the buttons."

"Do you think we'll need a scarf for decorative purposes?" Jeireth recalled the snowmen he'd seen on the television, and most if not all of them had scarves. The bottom was continuing to increase in size, and Jeireth was sure that after a few moments it'll be large enough to support a 3-4 foot snowman. Well, maybe support's not the word...allow for is more like it.

Once satisfied with the size of the head, Keida softly ran her paws over it. Smooting out the bumps till it was a perfect globe. "Do you know of where we could aquire a scarf Mister Jeireth?" She set the head off to the side and began to make the ball that would be the middle.

(I almost stared with "Jeireth rolled his bottom..." xd )
Jeireth rolled the snowman's bottom around until it was finally big enough in his mind, all the while pondering Keida's question. When he finally stopped he replied, "Maybe Sara has one in the closet at her house...maybe."

"would she allow us to borrow it?" Keida to note of the size of the bottom and compared it to head. She began to roll the middle, determined to get the perfect in between size.

"Sure thing, Sara seems like a generous human." Jeireth was pretty confident about that. He thought about getting on her nerves one day by ordering her around and she did all the reasonable requests without a hint of irritation.

Keida crawled around in the snow, rolling the middle this way and that way. "Should we go ask her now? Or wait till the rest of the snowman is finished?"
