A L'Sarithe Ishmas
The snow kept falling on the balcony of the L'Sarithe Apartment. It didn't snow in Hell. Not really, Rykki thought. The ash from the various volcanoes often fell like snow but it smelled horrible and it made her lungs burn to breathe it in.
Rykki sat on the back of a chair and watched the white fluff safely behind a window and 4 inches of wall. It was too cold outside. Another thing the little demon was not well accustomed to. Raptre had purchased winter clothes for her but she found them terribly oppressive. Heavy, itchy, and garish articles, Rykki would rather play in the warmer rays of summer. Why couldn't UpperRealm have one season like UnderRealm? The notion made perfect sense to the demon but UpperRealmers were strange and maybe their weather made them that way.
And what was snow anyway? She didn't see any volcanos close by. There were thick, silver clouds overhead but they didn't boil and writhe like volcano clouds. They looked like rain clouds, actually. Maybe they were rain clouds and they were just too cold to rain. Maybe they snowed to let the silly UpperRealmers know that it was too cold to rain properly. It might be considered a ridiculous notion but Rykki held onto it as sensible.
Tessei walked out from the hallway, humming a little tune and putting on gloves. He looked up and noticed Rykki perched on the chair watching the snow fall. "Bats, what are you doing? Afraid of a little chill weather?" He taunted.
Rykki growled under her breath and turn her head. "No, you stupid chicken! I'm just watching the snow." She gave him a raspberry and turned back to the window.
"Well, why don't you watch the snow from outside? It'll be closer to your beady red eyes and you can stare at it until you blue in the face."
Rykki hopped down from the chair relunctantly and walked over to Tessei. She stomped his foot painfully and kicked him in the shin for good measure. Why did he have to be so difficult?
"WARK! Oouch! Why.....YOULITTLE-!" Tesser reached for Rykki's throat but was quickly intercept by Raptre. Raptre scooped up Rykki by her waist before Tessei could strangle her.
"Why can't you two be civil?? I'm trying to have some iced tea and you two are in here starting a war."
"He started it!" " It's her fault!" Rykki and Tessei said simultaneously.
"I've heard it all before." Raptre was wearing a thin loose sweater and a scarf but the clothing was ornamental. The ice dragon hybrid had little to fear from the unforgiving cold. His body temperature skyrocketed at the onset of winter and he often felt too hot.
Tessei snorted indignantly, drawing himself up to rescue his pride. "I was just telling the twerp to got outside and enjoy the snow. Then she assaulted me for no good reason."
"NUH UH! You big liar!!" Rykki screeched. "You called me 'Bats' and said I had 'beady red eyes'!"
"Well, you do....BATS!" With that Tessei took off towards the balcony. As he swung the door open, a blast of cold air stopped Rykki right in her pursuit.
Raptre sighed with relief and walked towards the door. "It's beautiful outside." He pulled himself on the railing and looked up into the sky.
Tessei was all grins. He scooped up some snow and started compacting it into a ball. "Come ooooon, Bats. You skeered of a wittle snooooooow?"
Rykki hugged herself tightly, wishing she had three more of those oppressive sweaters on and trousers. The cold air wreaked havoc around her exposed ankles and shins.. "I am not scared, dummy. It's just cold."
Tessei tossed the snowball idly up and down."Scaredy Bats, Scaredy Bats, Come out and play. If you don't, I says you won't, I'll toss this ball you way."
Rykki took the taunt with pride, turned around, and lifted up her skirt. "KISS MY BUM, CHICKEN!!"
"Oh, too perfect!"
"Tessei!" Raptre barked but the warning came too late. Rykki yelped as the cold snow melted into a wet spot on her bottom. Outside on the balcony, Tessei hooted and hollered.
Rykki put her hands down her bloomers and felt her poor frigid skin......The chicken would pay for this injustice.
Dunno where to go from here.
