Who: bakaitoukid and YOU [Open!]
Where: Violet City

Rating: G for fluffy, white flurries
Log:

The temperature had been slowly plummeting in Johto as the days went by, but until now, there had been no sign of winter weather. Sure, it was cold enough to warrant the purchase of a thick jacket and warm gloves, but the sun had been shining brightly even amidst the chill.

So it came as some surprise when Kaito stepped out of the Violet City inn that afternoon and saw the overcast, gray sky dotted with bits of fluttering white. Already the snow had begun to accumulate on the ground, a light layer of frozen water stretching across the cobbled streets. He stood in the entrance of the inn for a few moments, head tilted back and gloved hands stuffed into the pockets of his jacket, gaze affixed in wonder at the snow flakes descending to the ground. Behind him, Biz the Aipom scurried up his arm and perched himself on his trainer's shoulder, poking his tongue out to catch the flakes of snow in his mouth once he was there

Kaito grinned.

"Happy December, Biz~" he said cheerfully, before he stepped out of the entrance and into the winter weather.

Kaito totally picks up on that glow as he stands up, giving Simon a sly (and knowing) look. "'S about time."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

"She wanted to head back to Cherrygrove for a little."

[bakaitoukid]

"That's not what I meant." He lifted a hand and waved it, the sly grin still present on his features, "It's about time you two got to spend some time together."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

"I-It's... not... like that." Simon looks away blushing.

[bakaitoukid]

"'Course it's like that--" Kaito began, but luckily for Simon the nurse returned right then with a jacket, a pair of pants, gloves, a hat, and a scarf. She handed them to Kaito with a bow, he thanked her and began to toss the articles of clothing to Simon.

"Here. Put these on. They'll keep you warm outside."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

Simon scrambles to catch them, and stares rather confused at most of them. Seriously. What is this shit?

[bakaitoukid]

The magician pulled the collar of his jacket up tighter over his neck as he prepared to head out into the winter weather yet again. But as Simon paused, he quirked an eyebrow.

"... lemme guess. You've never seen that type of clothing before."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

Simon shakes his head, "We never needed anything warm. It's really hot in the desert."

[bakaitoukid]

Kaito steps forward to point out every single article of clothing he's referring to as he speaks. "The gloves go on your hands, and the hat on your head. Once you put the jacket on, the scarf goes around your neck. And finally... you pull your pants on your legs, kinda like your shorts."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

"--! I know how to put on pants!"

[bakaitoukid]

"Oi oi, I was just making sure!" And he steps back to let Simon do the changing.

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

After some struggling, Simon is prepared for cold weather! And looking much like a ten year old with too much padding.

[bakaitoukid]

Kaito snickered a bit, before he opened the front door of the center, allowing a rush of cold air and snow to brush into the building.

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

Simon shivers already, before braaaaaaaaaaving the outside.

[bakaitoukid]

Kaito hunched his shoulders against the cold again, Biz clinging to his back as he steps out into the snow. Thankfully, it's not windy. Overcast and snowing, maybe, but the lack of wind makes it easy to enjoy the gently falling flakes of frozen water.

"I think there might be enough snow out here for a snow man."

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

"W-what's a snowman...?"

[bakaitoukid]

But Kaito had anticipated that question. Which is why he had already moved to form a small snowball in the palm of his hand and roll it through the snow banks to form the bottom of said snow man. He didn't say anything in response to Simon's question; instead, he let his actions speak for him.

Simon, holding Sandshrew in his arms, watches silently in confusion.

[bakaitoukid]

It took him a while, obviously, to build the entire thing. But once he had three snow balls stacked one on top of the other, he started searching through the banks for rocks to use as eyes and a smile.

Simon might notice that Kaito is arranging the rocks on the top snowball in the shape of a smile.

Simon's head is cocked to the side as he watches, shivering.

[bakaitoukid]

Once he was finished with the face, Kaito moved aside to let Simon see the snow man in its entirety. He wasn't finished, obviously; he didn't have arms, or a hat, or a scarf, or anything else that would make him an actually snow man, but it was a start.

"See?"

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

His head is still tilted to the side. But he nods a little. "Kina..."

[bakaitoukid]

"It'll look more like a person when it has arms," Kaito added as he tilted his head in the same direction Simon tilted his.

[indemnifies.livejournal.com]

"I don't get it."

[bakaitoukid]

"... it's a man. Made of snow."
