He glances ruefully down at his front paws and clenches them tightly. Small pieces of snow and ice fall in a shower from them with a squeaky crunch. When he opens his paws, inside is a snowball formed from the eternal snow that makes up his front claws.
"Some of my cold is always on the outside," he sighs, "Catch." And he tosses the cold white sphere towards the other gently.
He is quite blissfully unaware of any such plans at the moment and so focuses on her answer to his question. "Well, I don't know what would keep you away. I suppose since you don't know, though, it doesn't matter. Or maybe it does matter but since I don't think so." He shrugs.

She looks back down towards the ground when he tosses the snowball, but reaches up in a strangely slow movement, making it seem almost etherial with the calm and precise calculation of where the ball of snow would be and when. "It matters or it does not, you need not clutter yourself with maybes, Decide." she says then looks back over at him and throws it the snow ball back at him, although not nearly as gentle as he had thrown it towards her, but she had been thoughtful enough not to throw it at his head.
"What has brought you out here? Getting lost seems an unlikely reason, although not out of the question." Should she warn him to duck? both options had amusing consequences and involved someone getting hurt, albeit not that much...

"I don't think it really does." He's confused again but throws himself at his decision with a kind of wild abandon. Still, his voice is insecure and not nearly confident in this assertion.
"And I was wandering, really. I've heard of this Orchard before from those of my fosterland so I decided it warrented exploration. Unfortunately, I've never had a good sense of direction so coming out here alone I was just asking to lose my way. In which case perhaps I did come here to be lost." He smiles self conciously.
He sees the snowball and moves to the side to avoid it. Perhaps the thought of repossessing something he's shed off of his body does not appeal to him. It's more likely, though, that he just doesn't want the excess snow which would be useless to a being with a constant amount at hand (no pun intended) already. Either way, he moves with a surprising agility that is contains both the deliberateness and impulsiveness of his decision.

Pity he had to move to the left to dodge... The reason for this thought becoming painfully obvious (pun intended XD) when a young tsume literally appears out of nowhere and slams into the back of his head at high speeds, bouncing off and spinning out of control before hitting the ground in between them... "That reason has attracted many." she states plainly while looking at the dazed and confused hatchling. This was pretty much the fruition of her plan, she needed something to distract this youngling before it killed someone that she rathered it wouldn't.... However only a really strange person could ever imagine a child like the one that had landed before them killing anything and even if it had the intent it was only a kid and what harm could it conceivably do?  "My everything hurts..." she says as she remains in a heap on the ground between them. |

The male Tsume lurches forward a little and lets out a small grunt of surprise and pain. He stays in this hunched for position for a moment, and then slowly straightens back up, putting an icy paw to the back of his head.
"Ouch! And my head hurts." He exclaims, rubbing the back of his head tenderly. Well, at least he doesn't have to find any ice for the swelling.
He recovers rather quickly, blinking rapidly and shaking his head experimentally as if to listen for the sound of dislodged parts of his brain rattling about. Apparently finding nothing out of the ordinary, he turns his attentions back to the hatchling on the ground then looks up at the female Tsume with a raised eye...ridge.
"And what is this?"

'lan shrugs "It appears to be a tsume does it not?" she asks with a rapidly widening smile appearing on her face "I would think that you could Identify it on your own." she seems to be taking his question as a statement of obliviousness rather than what it was meant as.
She however does not seem to care to inspect the hatchling to see if it is indeed hurt from the impact, rather she just watches and flicks her tail back and forth afew times as if trying to guess what he was going to do next... Not that she needed to guess...
The young tsume starts to pull itself up but then makes a 'ooogh...' kind of noise and falls back down to the ground, before rolling on her side and staying there. She was obviously not as strong as the adult snow's head and when attempting to say something only manages afew dainty sounding coughs.

"You're not surprised." He tells 'lan dryly, making known by the tone of his voice that he would have appreciated a warning. However, he doesn't seem too annoyed and simply sighs, shaking his head a little before shifting his attentions back to the youngling at his feet.
"Ooogh?" He mimics her tone exactly, adding a melodramatic eye roll as he brings his face down to inspect the other. It is not meant in ill spirit, however, but is only a silly response as he waits for her to gain back at least semblence of coherent thought.
"How do you fare, little one?" He asks momentarily, keeping his cold paws carefully away from the small Tsume as he inspects her.

'lan grins "I am rarely surprised." she states before standing up and looking about "I am afraid I have some matters to attend to, and you may want to do something about the childs broken leg." she doesn't seem bothered or concerned in the least when she says that the kid has a broken leg, it's just like someone who pointed out that snow was white or something equally obvious and unimportant. Then she started to walk away, to the west.
"Did you get the name of that bus I hit?" she says dazedly in response to his question, wobbling as she got up to a sitting position her wing/ears spreading and closing at rather random intervals as she attempted to regain some sense of balance. "57|_|p1|) ()|357@(|_3 (0|_||253." That last bit sounded like normal speech but was almost incomprehensible and would probably give you a head ache if you concentrated on it for too long.

"Heh." Says the male a tad bit icily at her with a testy sort of sigh. He's not normally an irritable creature but the mixture of losing his way, meeting a Tsume that seems only to confuse him with a terrible benevolence, and having a small Tsume ram into the back of his skull just isn't all that pleasant.
He peers down at the small Tsume. "Wait, you don't care at all that this youngling is injured?" He doesn't even wait for an answer. "No, you do not." He answers himself bitterly.
"The name of the bus was Yukizora," he tells the little Tsume, inspecting her leg. Her second statement requires of him a brief pause as he makes sense of it. "Obstacle course? Well I've been called difficult by some. Do you hurt anywhere else besides this leg?"

'lan glances back at him and smiles slyly "Had I cared for the child there would be no reason for my presence, I am fully confident in your abilities in this situation." she says to him before waving dismissively and continued for a moment before just vanishing, she didn't appear to teleport or anything and there was a slight amount of evidence to suggest she had continued walking away... It's just she apparently did so too quickly for them to see it.
"Yukizora is a funny name for a bus." she exclaims cheerfully and grins at him, wincing and squeeking when she tries to stand up, immediatly clutching her leg and falling back down to her side "My stomache feels 0|_|(|-|'/ 700... But it did even before I ran into you." she says with her head twisted around most of the way to look at him, the pain didn't appear to bother her very much except when she was actively try and do something with the broken leg.
The young tsume that had so recklessly flown into him was obviously part Hacker, Possibly all hacker, the floating, green, machanical looking wing bits were a definite tip off but the other wings were very un-characteristic of hackers, same with the spikes... or are they blades? On her back and head.
