[F04-SP] Walking in a Winter Wonderland -- <<Training Your Friend>>

[NIGHT 0]

But then what were the living snowballs around for? The thought crossed her mind, and she became fervently curious while she wiped the snow from her gloves. Perhaps, this time, she should chase her lead.

Checking in with Nyanko, the little kitten seemed to be wiggling further into his blanket, eyes closed as he was relaxing. "Nyanko," she called, and his ear twitched in response. "I'm going to follow them, okay?" Nothing from the kitten, but that suited NIGHT just fine. "Hang in there, this shouldn't take long," the woman guessed.

Slowly, she rose, before following the tiny holes in the snow. The Yukinko tracks seemed to weave and bob around trees, almost as though they were trying to put off any other creature that wanted to follow them. Admittedly, she got stuck at a tree here and a bush there, but was able to pick up the pace soon after.

If anything, she hoped the Yukinko were truly non-hostile as they seemed.

Okay... I'm gonna need some help...

NIGHT stood at the edge of a precipice. If the Yukinko weren't hostile, they were still at the very least deadly. The tiny trail had lead her here, and while she was sure she didn't want to be here, she was also certain the cliff lacked any other signs of the tiny snowballs. Sighing, she wiggled a finger against Nyanko's head, waking him up a little. "Hey," she murmured, stepping away from the cliff. "Last one. I promise. Can you find anything?"

His eyes opened a little, and his tiny nose wiggled. A soft mew and a gentle pawing in a direction was all she needed to start her venture.

As the forest made way for the skies, it was evident that the sun had gone down, and the stars had come out to play. Amongst the large open space, it appeared that the snowballs done the same -- almost thirty of them were dancing and peeping nosily down by the glade, and NIGHT grinned, as Nyanko opened his eyes. "I guess you're right," she replied, giving the kitten a well deserved pat on his head. He purred in response, proud, before curling up tightly, ready for some rest.

It was midnight, and the duo found themselves back in their tavern room. While Nyanko had taken up position on one of the pillows, curled up in his tiny sheet, NIGHT was still up, laying back in her bed, scribbling today's events in her journal.

• Yukinko exist. If you chase them, they'll lead you to a cliff. Don't fall off of it.

• They're small and fluffy, welcoming. Not shy of humans. Yes, they are beaks, not lips.

• Don't touch their straw weaves.

• There were like 30 of them? Maybe there's a village of them nearby.

• They love holding hands. Hold their hands too, to show signs of friendship.

• Leave before their mom appears. She will throw you off a cliff.

"That's it, right...?" NIGHT mumbled to herself, trying to recall if she had missed out anything. She glanced over to her sleeping kitty when she was done, sliding her pen in between the book's coils. "You did great today," she whispered, getting up to turn off the lights. "Rest well, little Nyanko."

Darkness fell upon the room, and all was silent through the night.
