Open The Frost Fair of 1765

Korya writhed and wriggled in the snow fort's remains, coating her fur in a thick layer of insulating (and privacy-protecting) white powder.

"Hrmmm..."

She didn't really want new clothes. She liked her old clothes. They fit well and let her punch things, and were just light enough to let winter's bite thrill her. While she hadn't yet experienced a Vulpinsulan summer wearing the same things, they had been tailored to not cause over-heating... loose pants, a sleeveless shirt, and those she asked confirmed the style was ruggedly heroic and, most importantly, carried her Northland heritage and charm with her.

The big thing to worry about was the stick. Cryle had spent a while on the stick, and it was important... a physical manifestation of their friendship! That let her whack beasts!

She let out a little mewling whine at the idea of it being lost in the snow.

"I... I want fizzy drinks, but I want my old clothes and my stick! Cryle made me the stick! She would be so sad if I came home without it - we're roommates, by the way... she didn't have anywhere to stay except the ship..."

Korya perked her ears and leaned out from the ruined fort.

"Griblo? Is it truce time? Are we getting fizzy drinks? Do I have to throw more snowballs at anybeast? Do you see my stick and clothes? Oh! Freya!" Korya turned back and patted the larger feline's arm, then held her own arms up. "Uppies? Kitten-back ride? How is Willow doing, anyway? He remember anything yet?"

It had only been a few days since the ship had come back to port, but who knows what had happened in that time! A few days was like years when it came to stories to tell over drinks.
 
The Vixen gave a laugh as she darted through the hail of snowballs landing in the snow as she dove for cover, looking back at the bard she had saved.
"Always protect the bard, they do naught but bring joy and light to the world. Plus my patrons brother is the god of music so technically cousins" She laughed, seeing the other fox coming over to help the Bard up, wasn't intending to pelt them but it must have seemed that way to them.
"Ah, no not for you, for those blighters up there that dare strike our friend. Though seems I may have joined a little late." Standing up and dusting off the snow as she moved closer to the pair.
"Yes Swift of tail I remember. Have you been contnuing to practice since we last met? and yes bards are always dramatic have no doubt about that, you chose yourself."

Turning to the bard and gave a short bow
"Miothiyle of Thermodon at your service good sir" With a wide smile and perhaps a tad manic from the excitment of the brief exchange, turning her head to watch the beasts flee from their fort and the other combatants cheer the victory. At the offer of a rematch she flicked her paw and the already balled up snow into Swifts chest, having not let go of it yet, aiming to strike the fox before he could ball it up
"Be quicker than that, Cider does sound good though and I am not used to cold as much so best to call while I am not foxicle."
