[GP] SNOW DAY

Thor and Loki got an early start, because there was a lot to do. Almost two weeks to the day since their first small-but-successful experiment with snow, Loki was confident that he'd improved enough for a bigger experiment. Still snow, because Thor wanted it and it did seem like a decent way to try something big-ish without causing Loki unnecessary grief with the other residents. (It was an arrival day, so there would perhaps be some grief with any new arrivals, but that was entirely acceptable.)

It was before dawn when they went out into the grounds. Thor called up clouds and loaded them with water so they hung low and heavy, covering the sky so that the sun, when it rose, wouldn't ruin the event. Loki took his frost giant shape and staff (now very familiar to his hand) and concentrated on dropping the temperature. Just around the Inn and grounds, but that was enough to be serious effort.

When the snow first started, the flakes were big and wet, and melted as soon as they hit the ground, which was still on the warm side. As they melted, they cooled the ground. After an hour or so, the flakes were smaller and more powdery - real snow, not glorified slush - and they were starting to stick to the ground.

By mid-morning, the Inn and grounds were covered with a thick layer of snow, and it continued to fall.

***

Meanwhile, indoors and inspired by the snow, Hurley and Xavin decided to try and make cookies. Cooking together was fun, since neither of them exactly knew what they were doing apart from 'follow the recipe', but since the point was 'try to make cookies' they ended up with a lot of cookies. Sugar cookies, gingerbread, all kinds.

There was no way they'd be able to eat all of them.

Instead, they loaded them onto trays and hauled them to the cafe, then brought out various frostings and candies for decorating. This had been completely intentional. Completely.

"I suck at basic kid art." She looked back at Dean, smiled a little, and then climbed to her feet. "I keep trying to think if I sucked as a kid, too, but I don't remember."

"You could always go for monster looking snowman so it doesn't have to look like Frosty." Dean 'helped' with his suggestion.

"I see enough monsters usually, I'd like to just make one nice thing that isn't a total pinterest fail." Lauren would probably be fantastic at this.

Dean finished off his funnel cake and absently wiped the crumbs from his lips. "I get that. Want some help?" Not that Dean was all that artistic at all, but he had made his share of snowmen over the years.

"Sure." She smiled to him. "And if this one sucks, you can at least take have the blame. So it's a win-win situation." Plus, she enjoyed Dean's energy. it had some weird familiar vibes to it.

"Oh no, I'm blaming the parts that suck on you." Dean smirked and went to pick up some snow to began the base.

"Hey, it's my word against yours and I've got eyelashes to bat and lips to pout." She also began to build, but she sent him a playfully challenging look.

Dean nodded, "that's true, but ..." He winked and puckered his own lips. "I have lips to pout and muscles to flex."

She laughed. "I don't think I've seen a guy pout and flex their muscles at the same time. Would you be using some sort of German accent too to round out the look?" Bo was picturing some buff male model.

"You've never seen Zoolander have you?" Dean chuckled. "It's a talent to pout and flex."

He gave her his best blue steel look and a German accent. "See what I mean?"

She definitely had not seen Zoolander. When he demonstrated, she laughed. It was more adorable than anything else. Now she had to convince Alec to make the same face so she could compare notes.

"What's the girl version of blue steel?"

Dean had to pause and think about that. "Probably a bit more of a pout, like Linda Evangelista." Or he could be fantasizing about Linda Evangelista and in a very happy place.

Bo sent him her best pout, but it probably wasn't a fair comparison as that sort of look came naturally with extra pheromones.

"Great. I'll add that to my list of skill sets now." She smiled to him. She enjoyed Sam's family a lot.
