"I'm kind of expecting some guy to come out of nowhere with a chainsaw..but that's just me," he said. He's really been watching too many movies lately. He was going to have to check out the DVDs that were stored next to the T.V in the living room when they got back to the lodge.

"Yeah, I kind of have no life, or so people say," he blushed.

He continued to smile as they bumped shoulders and shrugged "I don't have much of one either."

"Oh, come on, I bet I'm worse. Look how much free time I have messing with my hair, when I could be 'studying'...or at least that's what my parents say," he shrugged.

"I don't do much at all," he continued easily, still relaxed back against the cushioning of snow supporting him, and tossed another snowball for Akoni to charge after. It was true; he spent much of his time at home curled up on the couch or on his bed reading, sketching, or watching TV, with the occasional foray outside to snowshoe or go for a walk.

"Yeah, every time we want to look cool, we tell people we did time. Little do they know, we mean time at the mall jail...I'm telling you, those mother f--I mean cops, are harsh..."

"They do have their uses though," he reasoned, breath dispelling some more of the frozen flakes that had landed on him. "Of coure, I've never been on their bad side before," he mused, before laughing, blinking snow off of his eyelashes to peer at Sonny.

Sonny still couldn't fathom why adults had to be such buzzkills. It's not like they could hurt anyone with what him and his friends--wait, yes he could. In other words, to him, life was a party. Why sit around and follow what everyone else does? Getting up, he ran over to Akoni, who met him halfway, and picked him up, snuggling the puppy close. "You smell like December, Akoni. Such a cutie," he said to the pup, who blinked at him sleepily. "Look at your little angel face. If only you could see it!" Sonny sighed.

Trying not to laugh at the memory, he looked back at the pup in his arms, who was struggling to stay awake. Making his way back to the lodge and walking in through the back door, he went to the living room, where he set Akoni down on the fuzzy carpet in front of the fireplace. "...Do they really expect any of us to know how to light a damn fire?" he mumbled to himself, taking his coat off and tossing it on one of the couches.

Chuckling, Gale reached over to scratch under Akoni's chin as Sonny spoke, the puppy staring up at him with a look of bliss. Smiling, he trailed silently after Sonny as they reentered the lodge. He could tolerate the cold pretty well, but the breeze had whipped up a windchill that had been slowly getting to him. Shedding his coat as well, he dropped down onto the floor next to Akoni and smiled as the puppy immediately snuggled into his side, cold nose pressed into the crook of his neck.
He made a noise of agreement as Sonny spoke again, refraining from nodding to avoid disturbing the sleepy pup "Maybe one of the others?" he mused. His family had a fireplace, but it was a gas one, able to be turned on at the flick of a switch, while still looking nice and goving off a good amount of heat.

"Hey Gale, would you mind checking my phone and seeing if my rentals texted me? If they did, just reply 'Yeah Yeah Yeah, I'm fine.' That's what I say to everything," he said. He really hoped that no new messages from Emily were creeping around in his phone, but he knew there were a couple from her that he didn't check.
