albedo plucks a small twig from hakuno's hair, and dusts some snow off her shoulders. " ...do you require assistance in leaving the mountain, miss? " / @chalque ;)

“ ‎ ‎— pyu ! ‎ ‎ ” ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ hands colored a faint pink ‎ ( fingertips almost numb from the cold ) ‎rise up to a similarly flushed face, ‎politely covering the soft sneeze. ‎a small tremble to her lithe form follows, ‎hands lingering on her cold cheeks as though to preserve what little warmth her body had ‎—— ‎ but they come to a graceful rest by her lap soon after.

to have tripped in such a spectacular manner... ‎ah, ‎ she could barely meet the eye of the chief alchemist. ‎ a peculiar twig so kindly plucked from her tresses deserved gratitude as a reaction, ‎but it is only met with porcelain complexion flushing a deeper red; ‎ a unique mix of the cold and embarrassment. ‎still, ‎hakuno is not one to forget her manners. ‎head lowered just slightly ‎ ( just a bit shamefully... ), ‎ gaze sheepishly follows the gloved hand by her shoulders. ‎she peers up at them then, ‎mumbles out a small thank you.

unconditional kindness from the other is already shocking enough, ‎but the offer to aid her ‎ — ‎while likely going out of their way to do so ‎ — ‎causes hazel eyes to widen just a fraction. ‎ she is quick to reply with a profuse shake of her head ‎( the last bits of snow falling from her as a result ), ‎however. ‎the exhale she releases is nigh a tremble, ‎ but hakuno is adamant in her choice. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ “ ‎ ‎i cannot leave just yet. ‎ ‎” ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎though even in any other situation, ‎she'd have likely refused; ‎not wanting to be any more of a bother.

...and she not one of many words, ‎typically. ‎ so with that, ‎this was where their interaction would've ended but— ‎ eye contact is made at last with hakuno's head lifted up, ‎hazels meeting with blues. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ “ ‎ ‎ i am looking for a person. ‎ a father. ‎ his son is waiting for his return, ‎ and i won't make him wait any longer. ‎ ‎”
