"It all depends on how much you bend to societal whims... Or if you have been brought up with manners too I suppose. They both have their pro's and con's." He mused with a little shrug of his shoulders.

"I suppose so," Vera considered with a soft laugh. "But of course. Haven't we all? It's an unfortunate circumstance but definitely feels like something that's universally experienced."

[leowright]

"Yes, snowman building. You heard correctly." Leo answered with a nod of his head and a roll of his eyes respectively. "There's a lot about me you don't know. You should try asking some time." Though honestly, it's not like his skills were stellar, but his enthusiastic partner appeared to make up for that. "I got pulled into it by someone who wanted to take part. She was very insistent actually. I was part of it even before I knew what was happening." He admitted with a little chuckle.

"Snowman building?" the corners of her lips twisting upwards in amusement at this information. "I didn't realize you were such a sculptor,"' Andie teased. "What compelled you to take part? I would've loved to see your creation."

[leowright]

"You'd think so wouldn't you. But somehow people are very good at inciting headaches." He responded with a little laugh. "That's good though, a person should enjoy what they do if you ask me."

"That's smart. You save yourself a lot of headache that way," Chloé commented with a hint of humor to her tone. "I can't exactly hide mine, considering it is my profession. But at the end of the day I enjoy what I do so I can't really complain either."

[leowright]

"I mean, if you're going to go back to continue on with it, I suppose it make sense that you wouldn't change for a short period of time. Equally, if you were going back to get more supplies, you will be able to shade match easily." He offered up sounding amused. "But yes, I understand white walls being a little... sterile."

Victoire let out a burst of laughter and nodded, "Yep. Maybe I should have cleaned up before I went out," she admitted jokingly, "I did go through a few test colours but this is the one I settled on," she said, placing a finger on the colour that covered the majority of her overalls, "I just got tired of white walls, you know? No matter how much I decorated them, they were just... boring."

[leowright]

"Nice to meet you Ingrid. I'm Leo. Hit Wizard." He responded in turn, a smile just resting on his lips. "But a travel enthusiast hm? Been anywhere that really took your breath away?"

"I'm not sure we have," Ingrid considered with a little shake of her head before sticking her hand out to him. "I'm Ingrid. Dragonologist and travel enthusiast," she introduced with a smile.

[leowright]

"Do I not look like a traditionalist?" Leo asked with a little amused smile on his lips. Knowing that she might not know how to answer that for the best but honestly, there was no right or wrong answer as far as he was concerned. "Now you really are testing my creative skills."

"I didn't want to assume that you wanted to go for a traditional snowman," Samantha explained after this response. "But smiling it is," she nodded as she worked on the snowy sculpture's facial features. "I think you should have the honor of naming him."

[leowright]

"I don't think I needed that as a reference but yeah, it probably did add to my understanding of you." Given how open she appeared, he doubted he needed the reference to help. "I've never seen a scowling snowman and I think they are supposed to evoke joy so I'd probably go with a smile."

"Sounds like that gave you a good idea of what I'm like," she snorted lightly in response after picking up on his tone. "I'm glad you agree," Sam smiled before busying herself with sorting out the face on their snowman. "What do you think? Should he have a smile or a scowl?" she asked with a laugh.

[leowright]

"Is that so?" He probably knew a little more about the character than he cared to admit in that moment but he could see where the similarities came from. They were both vibrant, enthusiastic people who could be a little naive but always wanted the best for everyone. At least that's what she gave off. "Ah yes, the oldies are the goodies usually."

"Ashamed? Don't be!" Samantha encouraged brightly, enjoying the grin that had graced his features as he recounted the memory. "I do love Tangled. Rapunzel and I are very similar," she admitted with a nod when he'd made a comment about her favorites. "I'm also a big Sleeping Beauty fan. I think I just love the feel of the old classic animation. And people always forget how funny and sassy Prince Phillip actually is in that."

[leowright]

"It would help." Leo joked lightly before shaking his head. "But no, not at all. You don't need to get me anything if we're being honest." He'd never really expected if after all despite joking. "I don't get out much? Now you're just being rude."

"Does it need to be a whole feast to satisfy you?" she snorted in reply. "Just a place with some good food. Not some sort of elaborate buffet or something– you don't need to seem so terrified, Leo. I know you don't get ouch much," Andie teased.

[leowright]

"I am a little ashamed to admit how hard I actually laughed when that happened in the movie." Leo gave in response, grinning before shaking his head. "I wish I could say how I keep watching them but it happens. I have the tv on as background noise often enough and I like the fact they are light-hearted." Given how his life had been, he hardly needed to watch that type of violence, if anything it was a nice escape. "I honestly couldn't tell you right now but I have a feeling you have one that you won't even have to think a beat over."

"I was going to say– this is getting harder for me to believe you've just happened across these movies in your lifetime. I'm starting to think you're a diehard Disney fan who just won't admit it," Samantha laughed softly. "Have you got a favorite one?"

[leowright]

"I don't think i said that was what I would do to you, more what I am used to doing where snow is involved. But currently you're giving me that live action movie... Beauty and the Beast? Where the massive snowball hits belle in the face." He explained even if it wasn't necessary. "And yes, I am aware I have watched way more Disney movies than is technically advised for someone who looks like I do."

"That's a relief," Samantha sighed with a smile, almost immediately jumping back into perfecting their snowy creation. "Much appreciated and all but what does that have to do with you absolutely demolishing me in a snowball fight afterwards?" she laughed, beginning to decorate the torso with a line of buttons. "Have a look! It's all coming together."

[leowright]

"No, it's not putting me off at all." Honestly, there was mean bossy and then there was her. Being told what to do had never been done so sweetly in his experience so it was refreshing. He could tell the girl had absolutely no malice in her at all and it was rare that he met people like that, if at all. "I can't see myself doing this without your encouragement so I suspect your time will be safe."

"Hopefully it's not putting you off too much. I still want you to have fun, even if I can be particular about these things," she explained apologetically when he'd said that she seemed competitive and bossy. "Snowball fight? That does sound like fun," Sam considered. "However I've no doubts you'll beat me in record time."

[leowright]

"Well overly enthusiastic is coming across as competitive and very bossy right now." Still he clearly found it very humorous given the laughter it was drawing from him. "As I said, I bow down to your superior snowman knowledge because I really don't have too much to go off. I was always more of a snowball fight kind of person if we're being honest here. I never quite made it to the part where the ball becomes big enough to use as a body part point."

"Less so competitive and more... overly enthusiastic," she suggested a correction with a light snort. Once the snowman began to take proper shape, Samantha encouraged that they begin decorating and putting any final touches on the snow man. "I didn't realize I gave off such competitive vibes though. Sounds like something I should look into."

[leowright]

"Is it something that bothers you?" Though Leo was fairly certain he already knew the answer to that given some of the conversations they'd had previously. "I'm sure I don't need you to be out of the game for me to find someone. I don't think you being in the game would actually impact me too much."

"I've certainly had to do a lot more turning down these days," Damien replied. "Not that I'd ever complain, but it's certainly a change from what I was once used to. However I suppose that means there's more chance for you to find a fish in the sea," he added playfully.

[leowright]

"Big words. It seems I have a lot to live up to." Leo spoke when Sam told him she had faith in him. "You're really quite competitive aren't you." He mused as they began to put the middle part of the snowman in place. "You wouldn't think it but it's really showing right now."

"I promise I have faith in you," she laughed when Leo suggested she stand on the other side so he didn't drop it. "I'll help steady it from the other side, if only to make sure it's in the right position. Then we've got to get the head ready ASAP– we haven't even got buttons on!" Samantha then added the instructions as though this was an incredibly serious operation.

[leowright]

A little snort left Leo at the others dramatics and he turned to face the features to which the annoying voice belonged. "I've not avoided coming to these events. If you haven't seen me, perhaps it is because you've been the one holed up in your place of work too much. I'll have you know I actually took part in a snowman building competition the other week." He added in good humour.

"Do my eyes deceive me?" she gasped dramatically upon running into the other. "Are you actually out here? And having fun? What on earth has gotten into you?" Andie couldn't resist teasing the other. She knew he to be pretty serious a lot of the time, but she also knew he was capable of having a good time.

"I know." Leo responded with a warm smile, leaving it there because it really wasn't all that important. It was more of an observation he'd come to about his circle. When she pointed out his stature though, Leo found himself grinning because it was clear she'd not meant it to come out like that. "Well I can give it a try since doing it the old fashioned way is your preference. You can stand on the other side if you like to make sure I don't drop it if you are concerned."

"Sorry– I didn't mean to sound like a smart ass or anything," she offered up sheepishly, even if he didn't seem too bothered after making that statement. "I'm not sure, but personally it feels wrong. I like making them the old fashioned way," Sam admitted. "Are you not feeling up to doing it? You look very muscular so I don't think it'd be any issue for you," she stated before flushing at what she'd said.
