[AW] EVENT | Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?!

[Eik]

It is a beautiful day. The world is soft and cold and, white-skinned, thick-skinned, he feels as though he fits here better than the desert. It is not just the landscape but the time of year that embraces him- Winter has always suited his sullen nature.

At first glance the snowy landscape seems sleepy, all the animals smartly tucked away. But if you know where and how to look, signs of life are everywhere. Tracks of all sizes criss-cross in the freshly fallen snow, and the scent of other passerbys lingers- fur caught on naked bushes, feline-marked trees, a dead carcass not too far away.

He walks in the path another horse has carved for him- it is easier than trudging through fresh snow. He has no destination, the thought of losing himself once more had seized him and without much hesitation he obeyed. It surprises him when he sees the one who carved the forementioned trail stopped not far ahead, attention fixed on something just out of Eik's view. He does not falter in his stride, neither does he slow. He simply keeps walking, head now drawn a little higher and ears perked forward in cautious interest.

Eik draws up to the gathering, eyes narrowing at the scene before him. The horses here are... playing with the snow, forming shapes out of it like some strange ritual. Others look as confused as he, and one- Avdotya, looks predictably irate. He is surprised to find he recognizes a few faces here, and realizes it is his first time in the company of all four courts.

It seems sacriligeous to join in the ceremony without understanding what is going on, despite the lighthearted mood in the air. So he simply stands near the edge of the gathering and watches, head tilted in calm interest.
