Somehow, Winter will not be surprised... "So... is this the type of job you usually do?"
" Ah, right.. Ship.. " .... Would this be a bad time to mention she normally travels without a ship?

Somehow, Winter will not be surprised... "So... is this the type of job you usually do?"
" Ah, right.. Ship.. " .... Would this be a bad time to mention she normally travels without a ship?
"And will you walk your way back to Vacuo?..." She raised her eyebrow and picked up her scroll, she will be calling their transport again.
" I was just gonna report back to Teddy directly. " ... Maybe sending a message first might be better, though?
"I'm not sure our experience with Atlesian food was the same either, I remember eating a lot differently when I still used to love with our parents when comparing to my experience in the army."
" Yes, quite a change from what we've had in Atlas, isn't it? "
"I am still having some trouble adapting to the food... So many things here are just unnecessary bitter..."
" It could grow on me, but I'm not so used to it yet. "
Winter didn't want to think about that! After a while, they found the exit of those mines, back under the harsh desert sun again. "We have some signal again. Thankfully, this mine is close to a tower."
" .. Yeah, hopefully.. " ..... She suddenly doesn't like that she hasn't seen any bodies
"Oh? Any specific you have in mind? Becoming a fan of the food here?"
" We could.. Oooooorrrrr we could go to a Vacuan restaurant? "
They would... Winter's eyes got those blue flames around them, and she started flying up, towards the part of the tunnels they got in from.
" .. Alrighty then? " They can just use their powers to get back up.
Winter smiled, maybe slowly like this, she could undo the damage her father did. And she is willing to be as patient as she has to.
" Well.... I suppose it wouldn't hurt? "
Winter nodded. "And that's why I'm also offering to help, I can unfreeze anything you freeze by accident, so you don't have to worry about it."
" I never had much control over my semblance, the few times I've actually used it. But that's what practice is for, isn't it? "
"You can use it for whatever you want... It is part of you. The same way I use my hands to stir my tea, I can use my magic to heat it up."
" I suppose I could start using it again, though I'm not so sure what the point would be now. I'm still not much of a fighter. "
"He had YOU..." Rolling her eyes... She wasn't used to... well... not being THE right hand.
" What? What'd I say? "
Winter smiled at her. "You know, if you do ever decide to try learning and using more your semblance, please let me know? I bet I could help you a lot."
" I know! " Giving her a playful wink!
"And I am very proud to share this element with one of my sisters."
" I suppose it is, then. " She smiles and takes a loooong sip of her tea. ..... Hmmm.. Gonna add more sugar..
"I can use any elements, I just prefer to use ice because that, for me, is the best element." She smiled before taking another sip and finishing her teacup.
" Oh, I wasn't aware that you could all use your power for heating. "
"Not as long as you do, clearly... Saw hit at most once or twice with Ironwood before we came to Vacuo."
" Teddy's chill, I thought you knew the guy. "
She will use her maiden powers to warm both teas just before Aria managed to drink hers. It was starting to get cold!
" Oop-! You're certainly right. " Bringing her cup up to her lips.
"It's fine, same for yours if you don't drink it..." She takes another sip.
" It'll be fiiiiineee, Winter. Your tea is going to get cold, isn't it? "
But she didn't know what to do, she didn't know how she could help Aria and Whitley get over the damage their dad caused... Winter sighed.
" You only fail when you give up, Winter, and I don't believe you have just yet. "
"And I can clearly see the consequences of... only being here now, and not before, when you were all growing up."
" You're here now, aren't you? "
Winter raised an eyebrow... how could she not have failed?
" I'll have to disagree with that. "
"I doubt that." Winter is too formal to ask him that!
" .. Ah, he doesn't mind it. "
"Teddy... Oh right!... Still too unreal for someone to call him that..."
" Yeah, agreed. Teddy will wanna know about this. "
"I'll report about him once we are back... We completed the mission, we don't have to deal with him, but still a good idea to let others know."
" Yeah.. Maybe. " ... Sigh. " But having a tragic origin doesn't really change the present. I think the guy might be dangerous. At least, to other people. Not us. " Not to maidens, certainly.
