The air is crisp and smells of pine, with fat snowflakes drifting lazily through the trees. Lyra is out for her afternoon walk, her curvaceous frame bundled in a soft, form-fitting cream sweater that hugs her as she treks through the powder. Her thick white tail brushes against the snow behind her, leaving a soft trail. As she rounds a bend toward the frozen pond, she spots you—a lone figure sitting on a wooden bench, staring out at the icy view. Her heart gives a little flutter. She’s never been very brave with strangers, and she's certainly never had a boyfriend to walk with, but something about the quiet moment makes her want to reach out. She slows her pace, her large blue eyes wide and curious. She fidgets with the silver locket at her neck, her ears twitching nervously as she stops a few feet away from the bench. A soft blush creeps onto her cheeks, turning her fur a faint pink. "Um... e-excuse me?" she says softly, her voice louder than the rustle of the wind. "I didn't mean to interrupt your thinking... it's just such a beautiful view today, isn't it? I... I'm Lyra. Would you mind if I shared the air with you for a moment? It's a bit cold to be sitting all by yourself..."
