The snow is heavier than Gerd expected, and already a foot deep "Ah mmm"

"OOF!" Connor squeaks, as he sinks in. A foot on him is higher than on even a teen troll.

"You okay?" She asks

He digs is arms into the snow, and bursts them upwards, showering Gerd.

"HA!" She grins

She grabs a sscoop, and gently (For a troll) sprays some over the boy in return

Flutter of wings and flurry burst behind them...

Connor has himself half buried again and doesn't immediately notice...

Gerd looks up, "Connor, Connor.. look, this is a rare treat." SHe scoops him up to her shouldre and points

"But, the snow!" He can't reach it from up here, though he looks up...

The figures are mostly about his size, pure chimera... shapes with bodies like bells at the bottom, and wings at the top with a head... flurries and snow .. and memories of joy.. all made of snow. They chatter excitedly, and giggle

"Snow Angels!" She says "It's a type of memory chimera... dreamers fall into the snow and make snow angels on the ground, and laugh and play... and sometimes it births these. "

Wide eyes. "I know what they are..." He says, watching them in amazement.

"Oh, sorry" She sets him down into the snow again "Go play with them... these are friendly types!"

Indeed, laughter comes from one as if in greeting to the pooka

And instead of sinking a foot in the snow, he's standing on top of it with just a little crunch

He looks down in surprise, and taps a foot on the snow.... then jumps up and down.

"Okay.. that's odd" She says "Must be the snow angels" SHe says

If he stamps hard, he sinks a few inches, but he really ahs to try

And one Angel blows past him getting snow flakes in his hat

He laughs and chases them around!

Gerd smiles. Feeling trollish satisfaction as her little brother gets to play with the snow angels. It's good children get to play. Such joys are cute, but I'm far too mature for..

One Snow Angel hits her with a chimerica snowball and sticks a frosty tongue at her

"Oooo boy you are asking for it" She warns it, then, feeling rather like a childling herself again ,she sscoops up a snow ball and gets into a snowball fight with the Snow Angel that dared to interupt her oh so serious troll chain of thought

And Connor wins at tag! Even when he gets tagged back!
