[open] I can't afford fire, but I keep myself warm; any

[Leilan]

Winter has come, and with it comes the ice dragon. Or, well, so he likes to say to people. In reality, it's just his wanderlust driving him southwards, because when you live as far north as one can go, everything is south. Logic can't be helped when it's just true, though honestly if anyone called him logical he'd laugh them away. Sure, he has some sense of right, wrong, and truths. Ignoring it is much more fun, however.

He takes to the Field because... because why not? He hasn't been in a while, and it might be fun to see who is desperate enough to look for a home in winter. After all, Leilan only needs -wants- the recruits that can live with the winter in the north - perpetual cold and only tough, rather tasteless greens to feed on. Himself, he flies to other places easily - like this Field - but he knows many others prefer not to move around so much.

How they live like that, he cannot truly imagine. He tried it once. Failed after a roughly three years of trying. It's just too boring.

When he approaches the Field, Leilan has long since shifted back. His silvery wings carry his normal (but super handsome of course) horse body, and as he folds them back, he lets them shrink back into his shoulders like they were never there. He's terrible enough by himself that he doesn't need to scare others away with his large reptilian form.

His ice scales still gleam in the winter moonlight as he approaches two women, one with a child (sort of loosely attached, seeing how he runs around), and one who may or may not be carrying - he digresses, it's not his place to ask questions. Stopping short before even speaking to them, he lets his attention be caught instead by the young colt, fluttering around with butterfly wings not unlike his dam. "Hello, you." he chuckles at the kid, not sure what exactly had caught his attention but certain that it is probably much more interesting than the adult conversation, as children usually are. "Your mom looks distracted. Want to go and surprise her?" he offers - nudges the snow away to where a bunch of early snowdrops can be found. Perhaps a little gift? It's probably better than counting stars, he figures.

nothing burns like the cold
