the cold chill of the snowbound's camp seeped into her veins like winter's frost.

but that was fine, because the sun was shining, wreathed in glory and casting it's warm caress throughout the land. the din of the bird's song brought a rhythmic pulse to the air, and nui stepped out from her cabin, a pink scarf wrapped around her neck.

then she inhaled softly, and her cadenced notes flew from her mouth like a bubbling, harmonious stream.

"it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor!" nui held out a gloved finger, humming with delight as a bird whizzed down from on high and alighted upon her outstretched hand. it was cliched really, but nui payed no mind.

"won't you be mine? won't you be mine? won't you be my neighbor~"
