Thinking it over a bit, Jeireth came to no conclusion. It really didn't seem to make a difference to him, since Sara wasn't going to be leaving the house anytime soon. "Maybe we can wait until the stacking part is finished and then go get the decorations?" It made more sense to him to collect everything at once rather than getting things one at a time.

"Yes, that would make the most sense." Keida had been thinking the same thing herself. It would not be hard to find some stones on their way to human Sara's house. And it would give them a better chance of finding sticks that are shaped like hands for their snowman. She began to smooth out the ball of snow since it was now a suitable size.

Jeireth watched at Keida smoothed out the middle snowball of their soon-to-be snowman. He was glad that the bottom was nearby, so that they wouldn't have to carry it too far. Seeing that it was almost done, he asked, "Would you some help getting it on top of the bottom?"

"Yes, your assistance would be much appreciated Mister Jeireth." Keida rolled the middle over to the bottom so that there wouldn't be far to lift. And less chance that it would be dropped.

Jeireth nodded and waited as Keida rolled the middle over. When she had finished he started by placing his paws carefully under one end of it, spaced so that it would be least likely to roll, and waited for Keida to do the same. He wondered vaguely how heavy the snowball would be.

Keida did the same as Jeireth, carefully placed her paws under the other end of the snow ball in a position to block it from rolling. "I am ready when you are Mister Jeireth."

"Okay, on three. 1...2...3!" Jeireth lifted the snowball up, steadying it as he saw fit. He was surprised at the weight it had, but luckily it wasn't too much for him. He began to move it toward the bottom snowball, watching Keida so that he wouldn't move too fast in the wrong direction and cause it to fall.

Keida carefully watched Jeireth and the snowball. Making sure that her movements and her speed matched his. She felt a little bit of snow slip off from the middle beneath her paw as they guided it up onto the bottom.

Jeireth felt a slight thud as they finally placed the middle on the bottom snowball. He had to adjust his paws a bit to get it on there a bit, and he let his paws remain there for a few moments, making sure that the snowball would not roll off. It seemed as though they estimated the middle well, for it didn't move. Still, he carefully held on to make sure nothing would happen. Not only that, but he wasn't sure if Keida had let go yet.

Keida carefully slips her paws out from under the ball. Not trusting the ball to stay steady on its own, she began to circle it, blowing on where the bottom and middle met. Her breath so cold that it froze the moisture in the air and joined the parts together. She stopped when reached Jerieth, not wanting to freeze him to the ball.

Jeireth backed up so that Keida could continue her work, watching with interest. He wouldn't have thought of doing that, not that he would be able to even if he did. "That's impressive."

"It is nothing, all ice Pokemon can do this." She finished up freezing the 2 parts together. Now came the daunting task of putting the head on..."And suggestions on how we can get the head Mister Jiereth?"

"Well flying is out of the question because, while I don't know about you, I can't hover steadily well." Jeireth though for a moment longer, and picked up the head carefully. It had some weight, but it wasn't nearly impossible to pick up alone. He put it down and looked at the snowman again, gauging its height. Too high to get it up there on his own, but maybe they could stand on something? "Hmmm...how steady are you on two feet? Maybe you could stand on my back and get it up that way?"

"I was a two legged creature before I came to Namiah, though I have not tried walking on two legs since coming here." It was true, an Articuno 2 legs were all that she had. She glanced down her front legs. With these appendages that she acquired when she had come to Namiah, her balance could be offset. It could not hurt to give it a try.
The snow crunched beneath her paws as she padded up to the tree. She placed her front paws on the tree, leaning her weight against as she slowly moved to stand on her back legs. It was different from when she was a bird, these legs did not feel as strong as her old ones. She removed her paws from the tree, her wings shifting to balance out the weight of her forelegs. She managed to stay up until the wind started blowing, pushing against her wings and sending her tumbling into the snowy ground.

Jeireth watched as Keida succeeded in standing but fall when the wind blew. He silently wished that he could walk on two legs, and maybe even for him to be a bit taller. Of course, as far as he knew he wasn't ever going to be able to walk on two legs, and Elderhood would be quite awhile from now. "That wasn't too bad, though I suppose it would be too much to assume that the wind won't blow from the moment you pick up the head to the moment you finish placing it. Maybe there's something around here we can both stand one?" He looked around, hoping to find a rock or some large branches.
(Maybe Keida take careful aim and try to use her powers as a bird type to manipulate the wind so that she can place the head up there?)
