"How long must we stand in the cold? Have you gone insane.. we'll freeze to death."
"Bah-aha-hah. You know, I can't feel a thing."
"Ah, come on now sweetheart. I was just teasing you. Come, hold my hand."
"Grr, fine but only if we can talk about it."
"It?"
"I must say you look adorable when you glare like that.. such passion. Alas though, I gave you an order. Come."
"He was right, you know-"
"Shhh. Quiet."
"Look."
"It's been snowing for hours why are you wasting our time. Honestly, have you gone mad?"
"Looks closer, Karra. Don't you see how beautiful it is?"
"When you squish your eyes like that you look twice your age, love. I do not recomend such a distasteful look for such a beautiful face."
"I hate how you do that. Insult me and compliment me within the same sentence."
"I like to consider it a part of my charm, and my sweet innocent smile of course."
"He will not forgive me for what we've done."
"This again? Why do you care? He is just a small insignificant piece of the puzzle."
"Exactly. I can use that.. Erm, we can use that, aye?"
"I'm listening."
"For once..."
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing. He just still has some uses is all, I'm sure of it."
"Very well, consider him your new toy if he will take you back, bah-haha-haha. A very big If, I'd imagine. Oh, and I heard that."
"Tell me child, do you see it yet?"
"No, I see only snow."
"Close your eyes and count to twenty-eight."
"Outloud"
"Six..seven..eight..nine..ten..eleven..twelve..thirteen.."
"I cannnot hear you. Speak up."
"Nineteen..twenty..twenty-one..twenty-two..twenty-three..twenty-four..twenty-five.."
"Keep going."
"I.. I am afraid of what I might see."
"Fine, fine! Stop! Twenty-six! Twenty-seven!"
"Say it."
"Twenty-eight...."
"Open your eyes."
"What have you done?"
"I told you it was beautiful.. if only it were tangible."
"You insist my desires petty yet you long for nothing more than the skies to bathe you."
"Not the skies child, but the gods.. the Mists and I desire nothing of the sort."
"Why fantasize such a thing at all then?"
"Because I can.. because I want to.. perhaps because you are more clever than you could begin to understand. Most likely though quite simply because -The Game- must go on."
