T-there's no way I can fit through something like that!

[Even with her improving confidence, Noelle was still a bit hesitant about crawling her way into the the tiny doorway- it definitely didn't look safe! And as it was, a little ice was pricking its way into her fingers from nerves.

The Fae, naturally, came to their own conclusions about this.]

"Clearly the reason you like frozen chicken so much is that you are one!"

I- I don't know what you're talking about...! Fine, I'll go in!

[There was no way Noelle was going to go around for the celebrations naked in front of so many people! Absolutely not!

So in her white robe was Noelle - it did feel strange, almost like the robes she wore in that dream - looking around for someone to offer her hand to.]

I...think we just have to run around the tree, right? Want to go together?

[And, well, there's definitely a quiet 'eep' of embarrassment if she gets a look at one of the people who'd declined the robe altogether.]

Oh, it's you again...

[She'd just about managed to hold her own in the battle of words against Mari Lwyd- a rush of excitement filling her that she'd managed to avoid freezing up at the last moment, despite the fellow monster's (?) best efforts.

But she hadn't expected to see it again.

Noelle had a feeling though. That it was here to help make her stronger.

So she accepted, readily, and when it vanished once again she held out her hands- drawing the lightly falling snow to weave around her. Faster and faster and faster- Until her concentration was broken by someone nearby.]

...?

Oh! ...I'm sorry, did you say something?
