[There's an image of Setsuna curled up with a few of the big cats from the zoo. They're on a high spot in an enclosure, and a low rumbling permeates throughout Setsuna's conversation.]

Sleeping alone sucks, so I joined these guys. It's way better. Right? [He nuzzles close to one and it responds with a louder purr.]

[Then the camera pans out to the snow-covered landscape.] And that's a great view, isn't it? Sara would've liked it. Maybe just looking at it, not so much getting into it. Me, on the other hand, I like warm weather because you can go to the beach in it. But this weather is good, too. You can make snowmen, or have a snowball war.

What about the rest of you? You prefer warm, cold? Something in between? None of it? All of it?

Speaking of an empty bed, you're welcome to come back in through the window whenever you like. I've kept it unlocked.

So, deities. How many times can I make trades with you? 'Cause if you've got time to give me, I've got another one for you.

[In the morning sun, Setsuna, who has yet to sleep, has a bowl of eggs and overdone bacon he's munching out of. For once, he's blissfully quiet, and rather happy, smiling strongly for the first time since Katou arrived. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what might have finally happened, especially for those who noticed him moping around before.]



[ooc: All network responses are considered done before the trade. Unless otherwise specified, the action ones will be done after, though I will be putting those off until the trade is completed.]

It is nice to have the City quiet again, but yesterday was too quiet. Why are people so reckless about what they lick?

[City: don't answer that question.]

The snow is good. It reminds me of home, but warmer, and with more sun. If we were in Petersburg, there would be less than eight hours of daylight today, and we would likely not see the sun for the clouds. The temperature would be maybe twenty below, Celsius, without wind--possibly colder. I think the Neva would be frozen by now.

This is March, April weather. Anyone who is cold now should be glad that the City is so mild.
