Micah's departure just seemed to make Mikael even more angry and he looked after the other man with a hopeless sort of upset before turning his blue gaze back on Melody.
He pointed at her. "That's your fault!" he said. "Why did you need to ruin it! I was doing really good!"
He picked up another handful of snow but this one he clenched too hard to make a snowball, disintegrating it into tiny bits. "Now I'll NEVER KNOW."

"I... I didn't know??" Her whole body was still rigid with shock at what had just transpired. "If you'd just said something, I would have walked on! I... I didn't even know you were... you were into his type." She meant gay.

Peyton chuckled, tipping her head as he lay a kiss against her cheek. "Maybe not as much fun, but safer." But she had to admit, given the choice, she wouldn't have chosen to stay behind. His hand went to her waist, lingering for a moment or two, and in that time she'd hook a finger in the loop of his jeans at his side, give him a very light tug, before Jordan appeared beside the pair to ruffle his brother's hair. She shot him a knowing smile, chuckling softly. "It's been way too quiet lately, something was bound to happen sooner or later." At first it'd been refreshing, this lull in terrifying activity, but after a few months, she'd actually started to feel bored. That probably wasn't a good sign.

He clenched his hands completely, the snow falling to the ground as he teetered on the verge of summoning Fen. "It was TOO LATE. To say anything the minute you just BARGED IN. AUGH."
But it was the implication it was a type, that made him most angry, that implied that he was doing something wrong or at least different. It was like what Malkam had told him, only women no men. Nothing was allowed and he hated it. Rules SUCKED.
"You are" and he shook with frustration like a small skinny maraca. "...STUPID."

Jordan returned a grin to the mock-annoyed look. "Got my mission bag and everything," he replied. "As prepared as I can be." He nodded to Pey. "Honestly, I get kind of worried when we get long stretches without much activity. I start feeling like something's due to happen." Something terrifying or world-destroying.

By luck, rather than design, Gretchen had found herself close enough to a small knot of people to over hear snippets of conversation. At first, what was being said had gone in one ear and out the other, the girl content with admiring the snowy landscape. Then a few words, phrases, started to sink in. Brows arching, she turned to glance at the one that had labeled himself a prince, and a wolf, blinking slowly, before shaking her head and flicking her gaze up to the dark haired man that was backing away from him. It would have been terribly rude to laugh, but she was very tempted to. She really couldn't help the smile as she side stepped to place herself beside Micah. "Well that was interesting."

"I don't know what the ******** just happened," Micah growled, sliding a sideways look at Gretchen and looking as though he was sizing her up for annoyance potential.

"I know," she sighed and finally went limp - too limp as she seemed to sink down even shorter than usual.
"I'm sorry Mikael. I didn't," she finally wiped the snow from her face. "I didn't mean to. I was just so happy to see you."
Still, her brows furrowed with concern about what it might all have meant based on the small glimpses she received from what Micah said. Mik was asking random men for sex? She didn't even know what to make of that.

"Sure you were." Mik said, throwing his hands in the air and turning his back on her, scanning the other people around thoughtfully for anyone who looked like they'd make for more practice and let him work off the tense frustration that was making it harder than usual to smile.

Gretchen just smiled in response to that appraising look. Either unaware of the meaning, or simply not troubled over it. "Didn't hear how it started, but," she drawled, tucking her hands into the back pockets of her jeans. She should of worn her gloves. "Sure did end on a strange note." She glanced back in Mik's direction, obviously amused.

"Started on a strange note," Micah grumbled, too irritated about the encounter with Mik to be too irritated about the fact that this person was prying. She was, at least, doing it more deftly. "He ********' compared me to a teddy bear. A teddy bear!"

Malkam appeared out of the snow like a lurking phantom, apparently not done with subjecting Micah to a round of snowy pre-mission weirdness.
"Hey," he whispered, yanking Micah over closer to him by the upper arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing, hitting on my brother!"
He, too, said something very nasty in Swedish, and then more incredulously.
"And...and what, you're too GOOD for him??"
There was a no guys rule, but what the hell was this guy's problem.

"I'll bet," she mused, rocking back on her boot heels, snow crunching beneath her feet, well, foot. Not that the fake leg was very obvious in the long jeans she was wearing. "Maybe he thought you looked cuddly?" Though she didn't sound as though she thuoght that might have actually have been the case. "Not a very flatterin' comparison, is it." Her head tilted in consideration. "Beggin' your pardon, but you don't seem the cuddly type." Too bristly. She blinked as Micah's body suddenly jerked, not immediately seeing the other hunter yanking on his arm. Then had hurriedly bring up a hand to press against her lips, stifling a laugh. Oh my lord. What was even happening here. "Deus of our lives," she said softly, voice thick with humor.

October slouched up behind the rest, umbrella in hand.
Then he promptly lay down on the snow and went to sleep.

"Of course I was Mikael, why are you so determined to tell me how I feel about you rather than listening??" Her frustration wasn't nearly as tangible as his but was certainly there.
