It was the hatchling's first winter. Green eyes blinked open from a nap, time to explore, as usual. Slipping again away from her slumbering father's side, the little wanderer slipped out of the lair.

She was expecting flowers, and grass, instead, she met with a snowdrift that just about buried her. Cold!, still, she had to explore. Sniffing the white stuff, she bounded a little ways, until the cold started to get to her.

Starting to shiver, she turned around, bounding back home, into the lair. A little squeak to daddy, though it probably wouldn't wake him, then she snuggled back close, pressing her freezing little form against her father's, peering back up at him.

She didn't like the cold white stuff outside.

*It wasn't the squeak of his daughter that woke him, it was her cold body snuggling back into his that made his crimson eyes pop open, and he looked down at his daughter and laughed* "I take it that it must have snowed last night, and you just went out into it, didn't you? Well my daughter, that white stuff is called 'snow', and its just frozen water that falls from the sky. It's cold, but its fun to play in. I used to play in it all the time when I was your age."

Another little squeak was given to daddy, though she was not even attempting to go close to the cold white stuff. It may be fun for him, but she wanted the heat and warmth of the lair.

Toddling around inside now that she was warmed up enough, batting a little shiny stone of hers.

*He gave a wink, and his daughter would find herself in a snowsuit for dragons, one like he used to wear. She couldn't fly yet anyhow, so even her wings were protected* "That suit will keep you nice and warm and dry........" *He nudged his daughter towards the lair entrance* "Now lets go play."

She had been batting the shiny rock around, when suddenly she was in a snowsuit and being nudged toward the cold white stuff. A little grunt given to her father, talons trying to catch the floor of the lair.

She didn't want anything to do with the cold white stuff, especially since last time, one of the drifts almost swallowed her.

*His daughter would find both her fore and hind claws covered in claw-gloves to keep them warm too, and giving her no purchase on the cave floor, and in no time, the were outside in the snow.* "See, look what you can do, my daughter." *Piece by piece, he constructed a snowman, and then lay flat on his back and spread out his wings, making a snow-dragon.* "See, the snow is fun, and your suit will keep you warm for hours!"

She didn't quite make it all the way outside, sitting on little haunches, just in the cavern's entrance. Green eyes blinked as she watched daddy building things and then the snow dragon.

Maybe.., just for a little bit...Her right forepaw, mitten and all planted into the snow nearby, so far so good.

Soon the other forepaw and hind paws followed, cautious, sniffing the cold white stuff.

Another look to daddy, unsure, it got deeper where he was, and she didn't want to be buried again.

::He smiled lovingly down at his daughter.:: "See, it's not so bad, now is it' You don't have to come all the way out here, you can play there at the edge where the snow is shallow, so you don't fall down into the deep stuff. When your mommy wakes up, maybe we can get her to come out here and play with us for awhile."
