Oh! It's so cute, though. It's like a rabbit was perfectly round. I bet it'd be tasty if it was real!

[Geir is willing enough to let the subject change. he's not as frustrated as Okuni about the Qri situation, maybe, but there's no way to avoid it being galling that they can't even get a conversation with her -- he still wants that very much.

instead, he inches his nose closer to the snow bunny to get a closer look at it. really, that's clever... he wonders if Vern would like that kind of thing.]

Did anyone try to make snow dragons, back where you're from? You said that you had some, right?

[he remembers that conversation in the sand. it'd be funny if Okuni tried to replicate that sculpture.]
