 Aldora drifted down to the ground gently, settling her delicate wings against her back. She'd been flying for a little while now and felt more ready to walk for a bit. The ground was covered with a thin blanket of snow that muffled her hoof-falls as she trotted for just a moment to kill her momentum from landing.
The peculiar sound made the blue mare tilt her head and she smiled, then pranced a bit just to hear it again. Her jewelry chimed gently as she moved and she bobbed her head a little, starting to hum a simple tune. Soon enough, she was more dancing than walking, kicking up small puffs of snow as she went.

Savva was chewing on a half frozen sapling when Molodoy barreled into his flank. Resisting the urge to kick out at her, the kirin gave a low warning rumble as the top of the young plant snapped off. The bear soon regained her composure and hopped in place as if to dance in an awkward bear fashion.
"Vhat is it?" Savva hissed swallowing his half chewed meal, "Can you see I feed?"
"Stranger," Molodoy panted, "In lands. That way. I saw them fly!" Savva peered at the direction the bear was gesturing towards. He snorted, frost blowing from his snout.
"We go meet this flyer," muttered the kirin lowly, "Lead me." He began to canter after the bear. Molodoy lead him to a snowfilled clearing and dropped into a snowbank so as not to be seen by the dancer. Savva's silver eyes narrowed at the display.
With a toss of his head he called out to her, "Vhat are you in my lands for female?"

The sudden voice startled her out of her rhythm and Aldora stumbled slightly, quickly flicking out her wings and fluttering up a bit to help steady herself. Once she had all four feet back on the ground she looked around for the source of the sound. Whoever was speaking had an odd accent and a very low voice.
She quickly spotted the speaker, a very ... large... kirin stallion slightly above her atop a snowbank. She could see some kind of small creature in the snowbank as well - maybe it was trying to hide, but it wasn't really doing a very good job.
"Ah, hello!" she called back. "You startled me. I didn't know these lands belonged to anyone. The snow just looked so inviting." She kicked at a bit of the fluff, smiling as it puffed up around her. "I'm sorry to intrude. My name is Aldora. Who are you? And your... little friend there?"

Savva rolled his eyes and looked down at Molodoy. Snorting frost, the kirin pawed the snow off the bear. "You are bad hunter," Savva bluntly stated, the bear moving into an awkward sitting position. Molodoy pulled her lips back in a mocking snarl.
Savva turned his cold gaze back to the mare that had trespassed on his territory. His tail thrashed angrily behind him. Using the snowbank's slope, the large kirin slid down to the female's level. The powder clung to his armorlike scales and beard giving him a colder appearance. "The snow is no plaything," Savva rumbled, "It look pretty, but it takes life fast." Not unlike himself.

Aldora frowned at the stallion, backing up a step or two when he slid down toward her. She couldn't tell if he was trying to seriously intimidate her, or if it was an unconscious thing for him to tower over others in such a fashion. "Well, that seems like a very dark take on it! Of course, many things out there can kill you if you let them," she replied with a toss of her head.
"But just because they can doesn't mean that they will! And as long as the snow isn't trying to kill me right this moment, I don't see the harm in a little play." She smirked faintly, shooting a wink at what had been revealed to be a bear cub. "Don't you ever play?"

A frown and a confused look crossed the stallion. He tilted his head to one side, then the other. He eyes squinted, staring blankly past the mare. With a loud snort, his ears went back.
"Play? Vhat is play?" he rumbled. The bear attempted to slide down the same way as her father but wound up slamming into Savva's back legs. Surprised, the giant gave a loud yelp rearing into the air.
"Cub you need to vatch vhat you do!" he roared turning on the frightened bear. She gave a low whimpering apology ad sank into the snow.

The mare snorted with laughter at the bear cub slamming into Mr Grumpy's legs, then his reaction to that. "Play! I'll bet your little friend there knows what that means." Crouching down a bit, she bowed toward the bear. "You know how to play? How come you haven't taught him?" she asked with a toss of her head toward Savva.
Looking back up at him, she gave a small wink. "Playing ... is fun. Just running around, dancing... singing?" She tossed her head and pranced about in the snow for a moment, then jumped over him, wings fluttering quickly to get enough height to do so.

Savva snorted as he ducked down enough so his horn would not clip her hooves. With an eye roll he trotted off a little and began nosing the frost for any frozen greens.
"That looks like vaste. Makes you tired," he huffed using his wooden horn to break the ice crust.
"I know how to play," Molodoy stated rearing up into a sitting position. With one sturdy bear paw she reached out and slapped the mare's flank. "Got you!" she yipped running to dive into a deep snowbank.

"Maybe!" Aldora chirped to Savva. "But it also makes you happy. Or ... do you not know what that is either?" She shook her head a little and snorted. "If you're looking for food, there's some other there," she pointed with a hoof. "I found it while I was .... playing."
Then she stumbled to the side a couple of steps thanks to a bear paw hitting her flank. Spinning around, she just barely caught sight of the small cub diving into a snowbank. Pretending she hadn't seen where she went, the mare pricked her ears up. "Oooh no, where did you go??" she asked, pawing around in the snow.

Savva rolled his eyes and continued trying to dig up roots using his antlers. He growled under his breath at the antics of the other two. Finding a gnarled frozen brush, Savva greedily began chewing on it. Looking up with a disapproving snort, he watched the bard try to find the bear. Playing was stupid, Molodoy forgot to cover her feet.
The bear wiggled as she tried not to laugh giving away her hiding place. Her tail and back fee hung oddly out of the snowpile she tried to use to hide. She was certain she would no be found by the fluttering blue female.

Aldora chose to follow the grumpy stallion's lead and ignore him in turn, deciding that his smaller friend was much more fun. She made a show of searching around for a few minutes, snorting and kicking gently at piles of snow. Finally, she grinned and fluttered up into the air to suddenly come down with a whoomph atop the snowdrift Molodoy was hiding in.
"Found you!" she crowed, prancing around while still beating her wings lightly so her entire weight wasn't stomping all over the bear.
