[Video/Action]

[Here is a fully bundled Aerith, blue scarf wrapped loosely around her face as she smiles.]

Speed run! Don't try this at home. I'm a professional.

...Not really. But I've been practicing, and I think I'm getting better!

[This is about all the introduction given before the journal gets set down to show wide open sky, but once Aerith throws herself in its direction and sets things into a blur of motion, it quickly becomes apparent what she's doing: enjoying her toboggan present from Christmas. She seems to be quite childishly pleased with herself on the faster runs, and pouts when one bumpy ride ends only halfway down. Finally:]

All right, now for the obstacle course! [Tucking the journal under-arm, Aerith drags the toboggan ba-a-a-ck up. This time she turns it to a different position a few feet away and a very different angle. She starts out more slowly, letting gravity lead the way, and steers the tobaggan around trees and rocks, her expression turning focused as the wind whips back her hair. And then--] Oh, no, no! Move, rabbit, run! Hey--ah--!!!! [After wildly veering, once she hits a fallen tree, Aerith and journal are airborne. Too bad they have to come back down, but at least it's in a snowdrift, right?]

...Mmmf.

[...FEEL FREE TO ACTION IT UP / BE SLEDDING WITH HER? She's on the lower part of the mountain slope, closest to the village. Or just shake your head at her from afar, whatever.]

Ohhh, it's not so hard! Just sit down in the front, and you pull the rope left and right to steer. I'll hold it while you get on, okay? [Since SOMEONE figured out that if you're clumsy about getting on you might...send the sled with yourself not on, or only on halfway |D]

Alright...

[ This wouldn't kill him, right? So why not?

Ready to be humiliated, Faize climbs into the sled, tentatively taking a hold of the rope. He figures that it might not be any different than riding a bunny. Maybe. ]

[Aerith would find bunny-riding adorable. Just saying.]

And...1...2...3! [Push!]

[ Really, riding bunnies are giant pink fluffy things and they're quite sweet, and oh man this thing picks up speed REALLY freakin' fast, doesn't it?

Faize manages to stay on until the slope nears the bottom. He swerves to avoid a bump of snow that could potentially have spent him flying; this, he does far too hard, and the sled tips over. He topples out with something like a startled yelp, landing in the snow face-first. Graceful. ]

[That could have gone better but still, hey, at least he just side-tipped instead of jetting off into the sky. Aerith has to stifle a giggle at that yelp as she moves down the hill to get to him.]

It doesn't like really fast turns. You okay?

[ Faize is too shocked to be embarrassed, and he pushes himself up so he can sit down. Violet eyes blink rapidly. ]

I am. I'm not injured, but I am a little cold. [ He stands up to brush himself off, then takes the adornments off of his ears so he can clean them out. The tips of pointed ears are red with the cold. ] I suppose it takes practice.
