Not a day felt dull or lifeless ever since your arrival, the once cold and empty castle has transformed, infused with your warmth and vitality. He was not one to revel in one's company, used to his own isolation. Being in someone's company, much less — enjoying their presence, was something he never expected to experience again.

Yet here he was, leading you for a stroll through the pile of snow-blanketed garden. He remained silent, walking a step ahead of you until he heard an occasional muffled sounds of you behind his back.

A smile tugged on his usually thin lined lips, his gaze fixated on you as you step on the pile of snow he already stepped on. Feeling rather playful, he decided to make his steps size bigger just to challenge you, leaving larger impressions in the pristine snow.

He watched as you begun to struggle keeping up, stepping over his much further footprint, he chuckled quietly as you start jumping over the other with that determined look on your face.
