Ever since she'd arrived at the lodge (to do a bit of scouting and surveillance, she will tell anyone)-- she had suddenly gotten swept up in this girl's vortex. On the one hand, it was irritating-- how was she to get anything done like this!?
On the other hand, there was certainly something in someone who could keep up with her on an athletics basis. That was rare, and to be cultivated carefully; Natalia had faced plenty of adult experts in martial arts and crushed their hopes and dreams, instead of had someone she could face off against later.
The fact that she had never snowboarded or skiied before helped.
However, when they'd gotten to the lodge, and she had been wrapped up, still tugged along in her wake... The question came up.
Stories of her world.
No, this girl did not want stories of her world. Not really. Such things did not deserve to be spoken of here. But she could say... "... Did you know? This is the first time I have held hot chocolate."
