Welcome to Gaia! ::

One could have claimed that Kean was staying outside to annoy the teacher or that he just didn’t care, but the truth of it was he hadn’t even heard the bell ringing, telling them to go back inside. But he loved recess. Sure, he got his schoolwork done on time, and his sister even helped him sometimes when she could, and he was getting better at pacing his time, but recess was a whole different game! And he loved every minute of it, even if that meant that he had to go out in freezing cold weather.

He didn’t mind though, his parents gave him warm clothing, and his sister forced him to put it on when he was too excited to go out and he forgot, and anything could become fun if you could think of something to do!

And so here he was, currently still trying to create the perfect snowdemon in the little amount of snow that was left on the playground. However, when he heard someone talking to him he looked up and gave them a puzzled look. “Uh well, I’m trying to make this awesome snowdemon! I just wish there was more snow!” He said, patting some snow more onto it.

“Cool!” Kean said in reply, as he took some more snow and put it onto his snow demon. He still didn’t see the line of freshlings going into the building, and now that someone else had joined him, it was even more fun! The other freshling looked like she was getting some snow, and so Kean concentrated on shaping the snow-demon. But then he heard an oops and Kean looked over and saw that his snow demon didn’t have an arm anymore. The other frehsling looked like she was trying to re-shape it, so at least she hadn’t destroyed it on purpose. She had looked at him. “It’s okay. Snowdemons don’t last too long anyway. And at least someone got to see it!” Although he missed it, he had been taught not to get too angry when someone had an accident!

Kean had a surprised look on his face. Apparently this other freshling thought they were alive! Well, there had been quite a few times that Kean had wished that they were alive after making them, especially the ones he made that looked like they were going to break the front door and eat his veggies for him, but he knew they weren’t alive alive. Yet. Maybe someday he would find a way to do that.

“Um… it’s not alive. I just made it, see? You can make your own too once we get some more snow again! Though if it was alive that would be really cool, right? I just don’t know how it would survive past winter though.” Maybe they could bring it to the mountains?

Kean realized that he wasn’t going to convince the other that the snowdemon was, in fact, not real. However, there wasn’t really any way to ‘save’ it since he had been using the last snow on the playground to be able to make it. When she asked her question, he thought about it for a moment. “Well… there’s mom and dad and sissy. And teachers. But I don’t know any other adults than that.” Or at least ones that would be able to make things come to life. His parents didn’t know any magic and he hadn’t been taught any of as of yet here. And Sissy was too interested in clothing and art to worry about magic.

He turned his head to the side. “You know any adults that could help?” He looked around, trying to find the teacher, when he realized that they were suddenly… alone! “Hey… where is everyone?”

Watching Jane's uneasiness made Kean a bit nervous, which made him look around and... no one was there! They must have missed the school bell! "Oh no! We have to go and get inside! But I'm sure we'll be able to create the snowdemon again!" He said, quickly getting off, and brushing some snow off of him, before running inside. Or at least he would have if he didn't trip.

He immediately got up though and ran to the door, looking back behind him. "Jane, we have to get inside!" He said, hoping that the teachers hadn't locked them out. When he tried the door, he was relieved to find that it was still unlocked, and so opened it for her, waiting only for her to get in and he would follow after, joining her.
