133. Omission

[Out of the tunnels and into the plaza comes one very tired ninja, limping. Anyone lingering in the area will see a very surprised face...at all the snow.]

Whoa. Winter. ...I wasn't gone that long right?

[It's cold and she has no coat to speak of, but as she looks around, she realizes the fountain is about as far as she thinks she can go on her own. Time to sit on its edge, open that journal and see what the heck is going on. ...And let people know she came back. At least it wasn't like she was kidnapped or something.]

Hey! Nobody told me I should've been ready for a blizzard.

I could use a little help though.

I dunno! Stuff can happen.

Well, no. It's been pretty quiet here.

It snowed! Nobody went crazy about that?

There was a big snowball fight, I think. [he was too lazy to get involved.]

I'm guessing you didn't feel like it, or something.

There'll be more snow.

You never know, the Malnosso could decide to melt it all or something.

[please don't say that...] I've had enough of heat for a while.

It's not that bad. You should've been here before we had cold air inside the buildings.

Don't joke about it! I'd really die...

[well, not really, but you know what he means.]

I thought it was just about the sun.

It's the difference between catching on fire, and falling in lava.

[...] From which I'd also really die...

A lotta things can kill you, huh?

[As if they couldn't also kill her.]

You don't sound that worried.

[he'd be more surprised if she were, actually. He waves a hand dismissively.] Just let me enjoy the cold and clouds.

Oh, I'm worried. There's so much lava around here and everything.

[let's change the subject away from his demise...]

So are you reopening the shop now?

Wait, it hasn't been open since I left?

It's your shop, wouldn't you know? [he hasn't gone to check or anything...] I meant if you were going back to work.
