Anthy is cradling a mug of hot chocolate between her hands, and slowly unwrapping some green tea candies; it's a lazy afternoon -- her day off -- and she's enjoying the cold pale sunlight, so different from Houou's.

River accepts happily.

"There's no snow on the ship."

This is a sad thing, her tone implies, but nothing to get really worked up over.

"In the clouds. Crystalization follows different forms due to atmospheric variation in the stratosphere."

She smiles, sudden and sunny.

"Snowflakes are made of ice. Miniaturized."

"It's in shapes."

River happily sketches a snowflake on the table, with her finger. It leaves a faint greasy trail, thanks to the fried paradoxes.

"Points and spines. The assembly is precariously symmetrical."
river_meimei: (teasing?  never.)

"Lines and holes. They aspire to be fractal."

"There are photographs."

River would explain!

...This is why it's probably wise of Anthy to not ask.

River nods happily. "Electron and light-spectrum. They magnify the snowflakes."

River blinks at her tone.

More tentatively, "Lenses."

"Part of the camera."

Beat.

"Not yours."

River follows her gaze, just in case there's something unusually interesting about the tea.

In River's world, you never know.

It might have been tea for a moment.

For River, anyway.

River tilts her head, regarding Anthy with the mild lingering confusion which is often a result of their conversations, and then offers her the bowl of paradoxes with a small smile.

"He's on honeymoon."

In... the ship.

So, like every other day.

But with more silly smiles at Kaylee.

That's okay; the narrative's there as a concession to coherence.

"Dream gave them passage papers. Otherwise they stay with Serenity."

River accepts it, with a suddenly brighter smile at Anthy's words.

She unwraps it -- the foil crinkles noisily -- and crunches happily.

River, it seems, is fond of green tea candy.

River's interested.

And still crunching away, so it's not quite silence.
