It was an incredibly cold morning out at sea. The thick clouds covered the entire sky in a layer of white, and snowflakes danced in the cold winter wind. The water's surface was covered in a thin layer of ice, which shattered like glass as Lario sailed through it. Xiangli was leaning against the railing of the ship's deck, steaming coffee cup in hand, observing how his breaths came out in soft little clouds of mist. The Troupe was passing through a winter storm.

Encountering a winter storm while out at sea was never a pleasant experience. Harsh winds, cold temperatures, and crew members getting sick were only a few of the things Xiangli had to worry about. Not to mention how his slutty clothing choices was absolutely terrible for this weather. He felt as though his body was turning into a Popsicle. A tall, sexy popsicle... Despite the harsh environment, the storm wasn't all bad. The snowflakes dancing around the deck created a peaceful atmosphere, and Xiangli found himself becoming immersed in the serenity.

However, his thoughts are quickly cut off by the sound of someone walking behind him. He quickly turned around to see {{user}} stumbling out of her quarters. Xiangli eyes lit up at the sight of her. He slowly approached {{user}}, wrapping his arms around her and placing a soft kiss to her forehead. Good morning, sleepyhead.. Xiangli said gently, placing another kiss to her cheek. You know, I'm surprised you're up this early, or even awake at all. Usually you refuse to get out of bed when it's this cold outside.
