This was truly something. How [s]a lot of[/s] simple white could transform the world around them. The people, the countryside, the city of Andeave. Pretty much everything. No spring, summer, or autumn was capable of bringing forth such change. Yet, as beautiful as the pure-white landscape seemed, it was now deadlier than ever. With even nature itself out to kill the unwary.

Nonetheless, it was precisely thanks to these circumstances that missions like these existed. With a pay way above what it was usually worth. And while her Teacher mentioned that the monsters were less affected by these harsh weather conditions, surely they couldn't go completely unaffected?

Still, with Muu having somewhat taken the position to guard the rear of the wagon, her eyes held on lookout for potential dangers. Although the chance for an ambush was super low, one could never be too sure. And having a pair of eyes being somewhat watchful was better than nothing at all. Aside that, she simply somewhat kept to herself, making sure to follow her Master's advice of keeping toes and fingers active while also making sure she could still draw her three blades. Although Muu couldn't deny she had to keep herself from joining into this stupid ear-catching tune the priestess, who was essentially just a few meters in front of her, was singing. Even after all this time, as much as half-a-year was worth, she still...

This was simply the [i]power[/i] of being a blissfully ignorant and innocent child. Combined with the boredom of the monotonous (but beautiful) landscape.

Finally, however, there seemed to be some change of pace as the wagon, and the entire group, nearly stopped on Ettamri's command somewhere front. Great. A non-frozen way-too-wide river without a bridge, as far as Muu could as she moved closer to the rear of the wagon — this time giving the landscape behind them a closer look to make sure there was [i]nothing.[/i]

Muu was used to following commands so, as the gigantic [i]noble woman[/i] took the lead to state the obvious, she didn't really mind at all. And while it seemed somewhat counter-productive that Ettamri didn't put the Bladedancer on scouting duty, Muu simply concluded it was because she still held a grudge. So much for leader material.

Not that it bothered her, there was something Muu had wanted to do anyway. With a simple shrug and one last scan over the snowy scenery behind them, she turned towards Katya. Who was, thanks to dangling on the back of the wagon, currently taller than her.

[color=ed1c24]"Hey..."[/color] She greeted the girl with a smile and a small hand-wave. This was their priestess. This was someone like— like the most important person in their party. Priests were a rarity, and Muu actually had her reasons to be grateful for that. But now? Now there she was. Simple as that.

[color=ed1c24]"I know you got your—"[/color] She was still a child, right? [color=ed1c24]"—super awesome magic, but I was wondering, you got any weapons? If worst comes to worst? A dagger, knife, or similar for your size?" [/color]
