❄ snowfall

[kristaliske]

❄ it's quiet and the snow's beautiful tonight → a winter open meme ‧ post with whatever character you want ‧ responders roll for weather + scenario and get to threading ‧ ??? ‧ profit snowfall; stage i; none, streets are already blanketed in white. stage ii; very light and intermittent. stage iii; light - moderate. lasts longer periods. stage iv; continuous, heavy snowfall. stage v; the hardest of cores - blizzards, snowstorms, you name it. scenarios; ① fuck the police, this is the best time for a walk. hope you've got a nice thick coat on. ② stranded in the buttcrack of nowheresville? weren't you watching the time? now you've gone and missed that last bus out of there. or maybe you're lost, somehow. what do? ③ literally chilling, in this weather, is quite easy to do. sitting around relaxing in it is a wee more difficult, but sometimes much more enjoyable, especially if shelter can be found. the snow is beautiful to watch, after all. ④ the weather's not going to stop you. your snow fort's packed full of ammo and ready to go. those aren't snow angels over there; they mark where the poor souls you've downed have fallen. be careful with that snowman's head!! ⑤ you're about fifty miles from civilization but there's a roof over your head, so never mind the chilly draught, right? right. you mightn't be the only one lucky enough to stumble upon this little shelter, though. remember to share the blanket. ⑥ everyone stuck outside should be jelly. you've got a fireplace and hot cocoa and damn if it isn't awesome. a heater's not quite so romantic, but it'd do. there'd better be a backup generator in case the power trips. ⑦ mix and match, or make up your own ‧:❉:‧

Of course she is. She's never seen snow before, after all.

[Bilbo's rubbing his hands to warm them up. It's a cold day, but fresh air is always nice.]

[breakofday]

[Thorin just lets Bella play for a bit, watching her with a smile.] I'm glad you talked me into getting a dog.

[veiled_hero]

I hardly talked you into getting a dog. [He scoffs.] I simply mentioned the idea.

[breakofday]

Just about the same, isn't it? [He gives him a slight smile.]

[veiled_hero]

No, it isn't. You jumped on my idea and used the dog to coerce me into living with you. [He's teasing though, mostly.]

[breakofday]

I did not coerce you.

[veiled_hero]

You bribed me with a cute ball of fluff. [He gestures to Bella.]

[breakofday]

She's already decided you're her mum. [smirk] You wouldn't abandon your baby.

[veiled_hero]

[Thorin, you're just going to get a bit of a shove for that.]

[breakofday]

[That only makes Thorin laugh. It's good to see Bilbo feeling better, after all.]

It's true.

[veiled_hero]

[Now that he's able to walk decently again and his arm is mostly healed up, he's in better spirits. That, and he's living somewhere else.]

Don't you hide behind a fuzzball, you.

[breakofday]

I'm not hiding! [He laughs and gives Bilbo a gentle shove.]

[veiled_hero]

[Eyeroll. Forever. After playing about a bit, Bella proceeds to run back to the two of them, sitting there and staring up as she wags her tail.]

[breakofday]

Alright, we see you. [Thorin gives her a good scratch behind the ears before they start to walk again.]

[veiled_hero]

She does love attention.

[He stretches a little as they walk. Honestly, Bilbo isn't used to talking so much.]

[breakofday]

She's a good girl. [He chuckles.

After a moment of silence, he reaches out to take Bilbo's hand hesitantly.]

[veiled_hero]

[For a brief moment, he flinches, but-- Alright, it isn't so bad. It's just some hand holding, there's nothing behind it, right? He grasps his hand lightly, squeezing it.

There's something incredibly warm and comforting about the grip of the other man's large hand.]

[breakofday]

[It does feel nice. He smiles and gives Bilbo a gentle squeeze back.]

You look like you're doing better.

[veiled_hero]

I am. Thank you. Things...are a lot better than they have been in a long time.

[breakofday]

[He smiles at him fondly.] Good. I'm glad to hear that.

[veiled_hero]

Honestly, I want to get back to the bakery. The boys have done a surprisingly good job at running it, but I do miss it.

[breakofday]

Aye, if you think you can handle it.

[veiled_hero]

Of course I can. [Frown.]

[breakofday]

I just want you to not push yourself too hard.

[veiled_hero]

I won't. I can handle myself just fine, thank you very much.
