Luca: *is going to try to be happy today!!! LET'S DO THIS* .... *gives a tentative little hop, trying to figure out that whole pronking business* Snow: -nomnomnomming Grass when she see's someone pronking, lifting her head her ears twitched lightly at the sight of this new herla- "O8 He has a scarf!" -trots up to- "Um~ h-hello." -nervous small smile- Luca: *looks around before he starts to try a running-start, because goodness he certainly doesn't want to look foolish attempting to pronk, and is surprised to see a grown hind approaching him. OH NO WHAT DID HE DO?! instantly nervous, Luca flattens his ears and cringes out of instinct, expecting to be yelled at and informed that this is a no-pronking zone and now he's in HUGE TROUBLE, but relaxes in surprise at how timid she is* ...H-hi? *glances at her scarf for a moment, but is too afraid to make eye contact, eyes just darting around nervously instead*Snow: -realizes how nervous he is and smiles a bit becuase, hey, she knows how it feels to be like that- "I like your scarf." -She always felt better when someone gave her a compliment, so she figured that maybe he would get a bit more comfortable too- "It's kind of like mine." -she tried to give him a reassuring smile, it was a little easier to talk to a stranger when he was younger than you- Luca: *this scarf must be magic or something, first it makes him a hero and now it makes strangers nice. manages a small, shy smile up at Snow, and is tickled to see her smiling back* Thank you... *sees her scarf more clearly now and is struck by how funny it is. such a tiny scarf on an adult, where here he is, a yearling with a scarf so big it wraps around several times. can't help it, for once in his life Luca manages a genuine, full-on laugh*
Snow: -lifts her head back and her ears go back and down in confusion as she watches him laugh, and not knowing why. But it's good to see him laugh and not be so nervous at least right? She chuckles a bit and shakes her head out lightly- "What's so funny?" -smiles still and continues to chuckle a bit until he stops- Luca: *abruptly stops laughing, probably for good again, and sheepishly bows his head* Um... your scarf is my favorite color. *purple. but then, everything looks purple to him what with that visor. feels UTTERLY STUPID for laughing at a stranger like that, withdrawing back to his depressed ol' self*Snow: D8 oh~ oh don't get sad I'm sorry ;_;" -nervously paws at the earth- "I'm glad you really like my scarf... I really like it too. But I think yours is even better than mine." -nodnodnodnodnods her head- Luca: *is silent for a moment, then speaks without looking up, voice low and thick with discouragement* My daddy hates my scarf... *hold up. can't help but feel curious all of a sudden, and glances up* Where did you get yours...?Snow: -reaches out and noses him gently- "Do you like it?" -is quiet for a moment, it's weird seeing someone so sad... Was this what she'd looked like the first few weeks after Calix had left her? She noses at him again to try and get him to lift his head- "My mom gave it to me when I became a yearling 83 What about you?"Luca: *is a bit better about taking affection now. doesn't flinch away, just sorta takes it* It's nice... *timidly looks up at her* I didn't wear mine till I was a yearling, too. U-um, my name is Luca, by the way. *embarrassed he hadn't introduced himself till now, when here she is being so nice to him*Snow: 83 That's a nice name~ Luca." -repeats it to put it in her memory-"Hey Luca want to see something cool?" -smiles at him like she's got an awesome secret. This always made her little brother super excited, so maybe if she froze something up for him too, he'd not be so shy- Luca: *flicks an ear, curious now, but cautious* Sure...Snow: -smiles and motions her head towards the water- "come on I bet you're gonna like it~ what's your favorite thing?" -asks hoping it's something she knows and trotting towards the water- Luca: *hesitates for a moment, remembering all his father said about other herla, unsure of whether or not Snow would be approved of... oh plus she's a strange adult and all* Um... *nervously trails after her, thinking over her question. favorite thing?* I... I don't know... *feels defeated, unable to give an answer*Snow: -is at the river and steps in carefully turning towards him and tilting her head lightly as she looked at him- "uuuum~" -thinks for a moment, continuing to look at him from a tilted angle- "Well~ um... ok." -straightens up deciding she'll just make him a miniature of himself, like what she's done for Bron. Since she wasn't so sure if he would think getting a glower was girly- "ok~ pay close attention to the water~" -lowers her head to stare at the water. looking up at him a few times to make sure she's got a clear image of him in her mind- Luca: *feels embarrassed that he wasn't able to give an answer, and her "um"ing makes him feel worse* I'm sorry... *still, watches her intently as she instructs, occasionally glancing around*Snow: -doesn't look up- "Don't worry about it~" -focuses staring down at the water and making the air around her colder, the water starting to freeze and take shape as it forms and moves upwards. After a few moments of heavy concentration, the small ice herla is done. Lifting her head she smiled at Luca- "I came up with a better idea." -motions towards the miniature ice statue of Luca- Luca: *attention now entirely fixed on Snow as she begins to manipulate the water, Luca gasps in awe, pink eyes widening behind his visor as he realizes what she is doing. when she is done, he is frozen for a moment (pun intended), then carefully picks his way through the water, towards Snow and the miniature. although he is silent, admiration is obvious on his face as he inspects the precious ice statue, though he doesn't get too close, afraid he might shatter it like glass. finally, he looks back up at Snow, looking more like the child he is with wide eyes and a gaping mouth* H-how did you do that?!

Snow: -feels a bit conceited and bratty becuase she really likes being made to feel like she's someone important, or cool, or special, so she used to show off her ice abilities when ever she could. She took a few minutes, just breathing heavy and trying to focus again on something other than freezing water. Even though it was a smaller statue it was still a bit of a strain. No matter how much she practices. When she catches her breath she smiles at him and winks a bit like what her mother might have done- "Magic~" -she explains simply.- "But don't tell anyone~ I only do it for the very nicest and smartest and most awesome of the Herla." -she added on, knowing her mother would have said something along those lines. But boy did it feel good to wow someone again.-

Luca: Magic... *Luca giggled, still feeling such excited wonder at the miniature. he had never seen a herla with such powers before, and his admiration for Snow soared at this. was she some sort of ice witch? he couldn't help but blush and bashfully look away at her comment though, and he was silent for a moment as he thought it over. had his sisters ever seen magic? did his father believe... well, he never mentioned it. so was he special for being visited by this witch? she had walked up to him first, after all... suddenly, Luca looked back up at Snow eagerly* Could you teach me magic? *surely this was fate! they were scarf buddies!*

Snow lifted her head when he asked if she could teach him... She couldn't. How could she? There was no way. But he looked so excited to even hear about it... She hated that she might take away that smile on his face. She frowned lightly and stepped forward to press her nose against his forehead. "You feel that?" She asked quietly pulling away to try and look him in the eyes. "You feel how cold I am? I don't know why that is... But I am. I've been that way since I was in the thicket... And that's why I'm so cold. But it's also why I can freeze things the way that I can.... Now... If you want... I can try and teach you to sculpt? I could make a big block of ice, and then you can try and break it down to be something like this.. It is possible after all." She told him nodding her head. "Or... if you want... I could try and teach you how to draw." She added on hopefully. "Becuase that's just as magical."

The long pause after his question made Luca nervous. Did he do something wrong? His smile, such a rarity, faded only to be replaced with the more familiar worry. Miraculously, the young delta didn't flinch when Snow approached him, and even touched him.
He only watched her intently, giving a small gasp as her cold nose pushed through his stringy hair and gave him a jolt. Once again, his eyes were just as wide as before as she looked at him. She is an ice witch! He opened his mouth excitedly to speak, then closed it as Snow continued.
As he listened, he pulled back his ears, heart drooping more and more with disappointment. By the time she was done, he didn't know what to say. He could only stare down at his hooves, silent as he tried to grapple with all he was thinking and feeling. Finally, he managed an uncertain whisper.
"That's not... really the same..."
Although he felt like a brat for saying it, and even tensed himself for her wrath, he had to say how he felt. Even Luca could be brave sometimes.

"Well why not?" Snow asked with a sly little smile on her face. "I create ice, you can create art~ It's just as beautiful I promise." Snow told him, moving in a bit close and trying to nuzzle him to make him feel better. To try and cheer him up as much as she could. Becuase she'd noticed the way he tensed up... And she didn't really like it.
"Please smile~" She asked in a bit of a whisper. This was almost as bad as seeing her little brother always so upset. "Look... if I could teach you... I would in a heart beat. It would be a lot of fun to teach someone how to do it. But I can't... and I would rather not lie to you and have you think you can do something that you really can't you know?" She asked tilting her head as she looked at him.
Snow pouted lightly trying to figure out a way to make this all better. "How about this!" She finally decided perking up at the idea in her head. "Why don't I show you, just how magical some of the old guardians paintings and things are, and then you can decide if you want to learn or not!" She smiled proud of herself, giggling a bit even at the idea. She knew where a lot of the art was, becuase Calix had shown her it before... Back when they were still together.
Her eye twitched slightly at that thought, but she didn't allow her smile to fade. If she made it sound exciting enough... then maybe he would think it was even better.

Luca flinched as Snow approached, only half-listening to her words as he lightly began to tremble, but was caught completely off-guard by the nuzzle and looked up in surprise.
"Please smile~" At that, Luca bowed his head in shame again, but listened to what she had to say. When she was done and they stood in silence, he shifted uneasily, glancing at Snow. She didn't seem mad, but he didn't like that she was apparently so concerned with trying to make it up to him. Like she cared. It made him nervous, as he was unaccustomed to it. But, he couldn't help perking up curiously at her idea.
"Paintings...? I... I guess I want to see," he tried a nervous smile up at Snow, curious as to how magical these artifacts could be.

Snow smiled broadly at the fact that he did indeed want to see, and that he was even trying to smile. She motioned her head towards a certain direction and started to walk that way. There was a place that she had found in her search for lovely pieces of art for Calix... A place that she had even sought shelter in after he'd told her it was over. And it had still been beautiful to her. It was near the dead cities. But far enough away that they wouldn't have to worry about danger. It was large and big and beautiful, and if Snow had a guardian, they would have told her it was called a museum. And even though it was so big and old, there were enough holes in the walls and the ceiling to let in adequate light.
She was certain that this young male Luca would like the looks of it all. She giggled lightly and lead them on their way. "You're really going to like this~" She assured him, this would be fun. She'd be sure of it.
