Yuka Ichijou | OTA

[ Yuka wasn't planning on coming to this. She got so fixated in the impending disaster and preparing for it that the idea of stopping to enjoy herself for a while hadn't even entered her mind. Fortunately, Kyouko was there to drag her away from her serious responsibilities and make her relax a little.

And so, the Reflectors show up to Lup's winter wonderland in matching sweaters, ready to forget the troubles ahead for a while... ]

[ Snow! Now that she stops to admire it instead of thinking of it as a herald of the cold times to come, it really is a beautiful landscape. Especially with that sparkling ice unicorn statue overlooking all of it. Take a minute to stop and just take it all in.

Not as big on the snowball fighting as some people, Yuka instead goes in the building direction. She finds a spot with a lot of relatively unspoiled snow, and sets about gathering and shaping it. It's taking a while, but she's in no hurry. Looks like she's getting started on a snow castle. Listen, she's been to the beach more often than she's played in the snow, so sand castles is where her mind went first, okay?

Still, if someone wanted to join the building, she wouldn't object! ]

[ It's a long evening of fun, between the ice skating, the snow sculptures, and the snowball fights. At the end of it, all she wants is to get some rest somewhere warm. The end of the day finds her and Kyouko by the campfire, leaning against each other, Yuka looking more relaxed then she has in quite a while.

Jug of wassail at her side in case anyone else needs a drink, she looks into the flickering fire silently for a while before saying anything. ]


...I'm glad that I came to this. I've been so focused on survival, but... taking care of your heart is important, too, isn't it?

[ Wow, that was kind of an embarrassing line, but sometimes she says embarrassing things when she's in a good mood. ]
