lydiascreams | [022. Do you wanna build a snowman?]

[Open Video]
[When Lydia wakes up that morning her bed is much bigger than she's used to. Her room is the same, but different and it's colder than it should be at home.

Once the lights in her room are on, after she takes a peek out the door and doesn't find the rest of her house, she finds the phone there and has an urge to start the video.

She appears on the camera with hair uncharacteristically out of place, and still in her pajamas.]

Mom? Dad?

[Lydia decided to explore the place she's at. It's not grandma's house but she feels safe enough in this place and she knows her friends are out there. So she dresses herself and makes her way around the ship until she finds the deck. And snow!

She'll start with building a snowman.]

(ooc: Lydia is obviously affected. Replies will come from

pricessariel. Although she doesn't remember exactly what happened or what the Barge is, she'll know if people she's friends with approach her and will be inclined to trust them.)

[Lydia stares up at him, her face brightening.]

I can have hot chocolate?

Yes, you can have hot chocolate. With marshmallows. Or whipped cream. Whichever you like better. Or both.

[...he's a total pushover, to the surprise of absolutely no one.]

[Lydia giggles then reaches for his hand and pulls him back toward the door.]

I want marshmallows! Can I have the little ones? Lots of them?

Yeah, you bet. As many as you want.

[He lets her tug him toward the door, small smile on his face.]

[She smiles brightly up at him.]

I wish you were my best friend now and not just when I'm older.

[His expression softens at that and he smiles back at her.]

I'll be your best friend now, too. [He pauses.] You want a piggyback ride?

[Lydia considers that for a second, then shakes her head.]

I'm too big for those.

[He bites his lip to suppress a chuckle even as he nods. He gives her hand a light squeeze.]

All right. Fair point.
