A single eye swept over the bright, white sheet of snow. Awe dancing across her face as she felt the powder crunch under her paws, with childish glee, the bear hopped forward, forgetting about her company as she dove into the mass of white, sending a spray of snow though the air, small white clumps sticking to her dark fur as she surfaced just a few feet away, laughing giddily at the chill.

"Sabor!" Tolani shouted, mouth curled back in some semblance of an attempt to smile, lips pulled up to show her teeth, "What is this stuff? It's so fun!" she announced, falling onto her back to roll through the pristine white, sending yet another plume of snow into the air, scattering across her revealed stomach and painting it white.

"Come on in! You gotta try this!"

"Speech"
@Sabor
Piercing eyes wide with concern at the overnight change of the landscape. Where had all this white blanket come from!? What were these flakes!? Were they safe? Before Sabor could send Tolani a word of caution she had already ran ahead. Throwing herself into the mass of soft white. She sure was having fun, but Sabor wasn't sure what to think of it.

It told him all was well, that this change in weather was harmless. Nothing but a small temperature change, something his thick fur would and had barely notice. He was still concerned, Tolani was his to protect, she was dear companion after all.

"Sabor!"

She shouted out to him, curious and firing questions about what this substance was. "Its...called snow...it seems safe...just don't wander too far..."

He was practically squinting at the falling flakes, watching them, studying them. Maybe there was nothing perilous about them. It wouldn't lie to him, if he died so did it. He knew that much, it had told him after all, but still he was cautious. Remaining unmoved, standing in the center of the snow watching the bear roll around through the pristine white.

"Come on in! You gotta try this!"

"I will just...let me get comfortable...

It was clear Sabor didn't take to change right away. And why should he? Everything had been the same, growing up in the forest of Eridanus with Tolani. And suddenly this snow shows up!? He just wanted a few moments to take it all in.

@Tolani


Swining her head around, the bear peered in the direction of her golden feline friend, squinting a bit to try and make out the brighter stripes among the blurry white landscape as Sabor spoke.

"It's...called snow... it seems safe...just don't wander too far..." He'd said, the tone of cautious practically smothering any playful teasing Tolani would had responded with as she approached, barely able to make out the fact he was squinting harshly at the falling snow as though expecting it to grow teeth and bite down on the nearest gembound.

"Sabor, are you okay?" She asked, head tilting to the side as she sank a few inches into the snow, having to stretch her legs further than normal to simply see her feet in front of her.

"You look like you've seen your dinner come back to life in front of you just to taunt and run away."

"Speech"

@Sabor
The slow snowfall was an aeonian of an event. One that Sabor was slowly growing accustomed too. He watched Tolani swing her head around, struggle to make him out against the white landscape. She had asked if he was alright, he was doing fine! Just learning to trust his instincts was all!

"You look like you've seen your dinner come back to life in front of you just to taunt and run away."

He squinted really hard at this. What if his dinner came back to life? Sure he would be shocked but he would make sure to end it then and there! He couldn't do that with the unusual weather. "Maybe because I HAVE" A rather quick retort that he partnered up with the ever famous and 'spooky' 'oooOOOooo'.

@Tolani


"Maybe because I HAVE"

Her ears twitched faintly at the quiet 'oooOOOooo' that Sabor decided would be best to accompany his words. Her expression blank being accompanied by a slow blink before simply reaching a paw up, and gently batting at one of his ears.

"Sabor, what is a 'oooOOOooo'...?" Tolani asked after a moment, attempting a poor mimic of the sound effect, though ending up in more of a low groan, ears flickering at the motion as she sat back on her haunches.

"Anyway- Come on! the snow is Fun and COLD" she whined, rolling onto her back to flail her fore paws around without possibly smacking at Sabor.

"Speech"

@Sabor
Sabor squinted as his companion who slowly blinked at him. He watched her paw rise and simply bat one of his ears. A tilt of his head he watched her try and process the sound he previously made. It was a dear attempt to mimic the sound effect. Needless to say it fell flat and the word held no resemblance to what he had originally stated. Though his face contorted into utter confusion and muffled laughter when proscessed that she had no idea it was...a spooky noise? Is that was it was? He wasn't sure himself, said it in the moment without much thought.

Whining for him to join in he leapt over her. "You'll have to catch me first!"

@Tolani


"You'll have to catch me first!"

Sabor's announcement was the only warning before the feline had launched himself over her, prompting a jolt from the adolescent as she flipped herself over, barely able to see the tip of his tail disappear into the snow. For a moment, she remained still, swinging her head in either direction to try and find any sign of the brightly colored coat before lowering her ears.

She didn't make the best decision asking him to join her... did she?

A quick second check confirmed that yes, she couldn't see a single trace of Sabor, with the exception of where he had been standing in front of her only a few moments before, small clumps of snow remaining stuck to her fur as she pushed herself through the powder, head lifted slightly to see if she couldn't catch his familiar scent in the air.

At times like this, she really hated that she couldn't see on her right side, if only because that entire side was black as night.

"Speech"

@Sabor
Compressing himself deep into the snow below he wiggled closer. She couldn't see him, not with the color of their surroundings! This would be as easy as catching a newborn rabbit! At least he hoped so...With a smile upon his features he decided to initiate the game. A small and simple game of 'battle' of course. A king needed to always stay alert and keep his abilities sharp!

Scooting a bit closer he prepared himself. One, two, three; he up and over Tolani! Tapping her with his paw as he slunk back into the snow behind her. How would she find him? Part of him wondered if this would even be fair at all?

Round: 1/4
Attempt: Leap at and over her! Poke her with your paw for added playfulness!
Defense: Hiding in the snow
Injuries: None

@Tolani


Her ears flicked about to try and find any source of sound from the tiger, head swinging in a wide arc as she spun around to search the snow. Though no traces of her golden furred friend presented itself to her, prompting a low growl of annoyance to rise in her throat.

Snow exploded from her right, showering dark fur in the bright powder as the feeling of a paw jabbing at her shoulder made her muscles jolt, swinging herself around with a playful grunt, her tail trembling slightly before launching herself in the direction she'd heard the snow shift, aiming (hopefully) for Sabor's legs.

Round: 1/4
Attempt: Dive at Sabor?
Defense: None
Injuries: Blind on right side(Previous)

"Speech"
@Sabor
His plan had went perfectly! Leaping over his friend and giving her a good old jab that practically radiated with 'HAHA'! Though he didn't expect her to react so fast. Watching his small bear friend come charging at him blind. Golden eyes widening he processed this advance a little too late. As his face came down smashing into the snow! Her body had not only rammed his leg but almost managed to move them aside. Listening to her still running through him he simply laid there. Shaking his head and hopping back to his feet, watching and devising his next 'attack'.

Well since she knocked him into the snow, maybe he would try! Crouching down he prepared himself to launch the perfect attack. Except that didn't bow well, having launched himself up and over her completely! Crashing into the snow again as if he could barely use his own legs!

Round: 2/4
Attempt: Knock her gently into the snow!
Defense: None
Injuries: None
