It was amazing what you could do in the snow. Even after her many visits to Polaris she still managed to find things to do. But today was not about the snow, at least not completely. Comet had come here to practice her magic, and perhaps do some other stuff. She had done it before, in other places with plenty of water like Fornax, but snow was a different form of water. Plus, it was colder, which she liked. She always started out with a simple spell, bubbles.

Comet was still busy inspecting her bubbles when she spotted the bird making fuss in the snow. She saw that he looked cold. His feathers must not be thick enough to protect him from the snow, unlike her own thick fur. He was also looking pretty darned proud of himself for making a small snowstorm with his wind and then flying in the air. He looked like he had gotten first place in a championship or something for flying a few meters. Oh well, she couldn't fly at all, so she wouldn't judge.

"Hello there!" she trotted over happily. "Nice mini snowstorm!" she tried making a couple of bubbles, which liked to do whenever she met others. She liked popping bubbles herself. They floated up into the air, and she popped one with her nose.

Comet was not surprised to hear his squawk of alarm, she had been quite used to it now, even though she was less than a cycle old many other animals treated her like she was a monster or something. The thud as the bird landed in the snow was louder than she thought it would be, telling her that he was more meat than feathers.

"Comet." she had caught the first part, "My magic isn't feeling the best today either." his wind magic was pretty cool. There were so many possibilities for what could be done with it, and from what he did with the snow, he seemed to be a master at it, but she couldn't be sure, he was the first animal she had ever met with wind magic after all. "I have water magic, but I'm no expert. I'm still practicing." she said. his voice was friendly, but there was another tone to it. She wasn't really sure what that tone was, as she hadn't encountered it too much, but it made him sound... superior? Not being too sure, she did not comment on it.

The wolf was pleased when the bird joined her in popping the bubbles she had produced. That meant she made a good impression on the bird, right? First impressions matter, and that was a good one... probably. She couldn't be too sure about anything honestly.

Comet held her breath when she saw that he was going to try some more of his magic, so exciting! His gust of wind blew the higher bubbles... even higher. Was that what he was going for? Weren't you supposed to blow them down? But either way, she cheered at the gust of wind, whether it had done what he wanted it to or not, because she wasn't sure anyway. "Cool! Do more, do more!" wind magic was exciting, and she decided to produce more bubbles, because that was what she did instinctively when she was excited. The many bubbles drifted into the air, and she waited for what spectacle he was going to do next.

Comet waited patiently for whatever spectacle the bird was going to do next. From how he said it, it sounded really grand. Nemo, that name was easy to remember. She was surprised that he could do something with water too, she thought that you could only use magic of your own type. Maybe if you practiced a lot it would be possible? She did want to try learning some plant magic, and her own dad had plant magic, so it would be easier for her to learn.

The wolf laughed along with his joke, then waited. She wondered what kind of water magic he could do, and if she knew the same spell herself. Comet held her breath, she felt that he needed to concentrate, and focus on the spell. She was about to start cheering with him when he started proclaiming his success, when the cloud he had summoned suddenly started raining huge chunks of ice. That wasn't right! She could see his look of both confusion and anger on his face.

Her quick paws and nimble movements kept any ice from falling on her, and when the falling chunks of ice had ended, she was unscathed. It was actually really easy dodging all that ice, but she didn't say that, because it would hurt Nemo's feelings. Comet felt disappointed whenever she failed a spell too. Now that it had ended, she worked on digging the poor bird out of the snow. "Are you okay?"
