The thirteen-year-old sat at the edge of the lake, her violet eyes just staring at the ice covered water. The ice was beginning to melt, a sure sign that the temperatures were somewhat warmer than normal, but oh well. She turned her head and looked around, not quite sure as to why she had come out here. Although, as she looked around, she noticed that the snow was melting a little bit as well.

Winter had been nice while it lasted. Hopefully it would get colder again soon and there would at least by one more snow storm. She couldn't help but like snow, seeing as it was her power. Being an ice elementalist could be fun.

She then looked at her clothes, laughing when she saw how badly she stood out out here. Everything was white, and here she was, in nothing but black. It amused her, but she eventually stopped laughing, and shook her head.

October looked back to the lake, and rested her head in her hands. "Well, I'm bored," she said quietly to herself, hoping someone might come along. She wanted to talk to someone.

Upon hearing feet crunch into what snow was left on the ground, October turned her head back, looking at the other female. She looked her over, not really minding her appearance, but wondering why she didn't have a coat on. Sure, it wasn't as cold as it usually was, but heavier clothing than skirts and tank tops were needed. At least, in her opinion, but she decided she shouldn't say anything about it.

"Hello," she said to Nina with a bright smile. "I'm October."

"It's nice to meet you, Nina," October said with a smile. The thirteen-year-old watched the older female as she began to draw in the in the snow with her foot, silent for the time being. If she didn't say anything, then the little girl would. When Nina did say something, though, October shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, nothing really. I'm just bored, and it's nice out here. I like the snow," she said with a smile. "What about you?"

October nodded in understanding when she spoke her reason. "Yeah. It can get really boring in there," she said. It could get loud in there, too... and, even though it was quite a large place, it could seem small at times, too. At least, it did to her. When asked how long she had been there, the young ice elementalist had to think for a few moments. "Um... I'll have been here for six months on the seventeenth." Wow. She had been here for longer than she thought she had been. "What about you?"

October shrugged. "Yeah, I guess," she said. It was nice here, but it was nothing like home. Oh, well, though. That couldn't be helped, really. "What about you?"
