Elizabeth
No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn
Laughing, she shook her head. "Mine either." Although Elizabeth had no other occupants on which to blame the disappearance of her own sweets. Maybe she could claim rats got to them? Or some magical mishap?
She glanced back at the gourd, unable to hide her smile as it rocked gently through the waves. Swatting her hand through the air, she moved farther down the waterline. "Eh. Let's leave it to its peaceful fun." Or whatever floating down a frozen sea could be called. "We should hurry back before it gets dark anyways." The sky may not currently be darkening, but the days had been getting shorter as Deepfrost approached, and if people thought the Tundra was unforgiving in the daylight, they knew nothing about what it was like at night. Plus, she now had the ulterior motive of snagging some treats on the way home. With those objectives in mind, Elizabeth sped her steps along, curious to know if they would spot the raft gourd again soon.
