First Sight of Snow

## Introduction

**Reyn:** Brr. I hate the cold.

**Fiora:** Hehe. How come?

**Reyn:** I just do, you know? The snow doesn’t help. And I've never even seen snow before!

**Fiora:** Me neither. It looks so... white! Nothing like this ever happens back at the colony.

**Reyn:** I don't get it. What's with balls of ice just falling from the sky? Stupid idea if you ask me.

## Gain (+8)

**Fiora: *[I'm with you. It's strange.]*** Do you think the people back home would want to see this? I bet they’d be amazed!

**Reyn:** Yes. I mean, we come from a place that's warm all year round. A land covered in ice is like this crazy dream world.

**Fiora:** Yeah. And I think the little ones would love to play in the snow!

**Reyn:** No doubt! You reckon we could pile some up and take it back to the colony?

**Fiora: *[That sounds like a great idea!]*** Everyone would be so excited!

**Reyn:** The adults are busy rebuilding their homes, right? So the kids could play with all this snow while they work!

**Fiora:** Yeah! That's brilliant, Reyn! You have some pretty good ideas once in a while.

**Reyn:** You could have left out the 'once in a while' part...

**Fiora:** We should try and figure out the best way to transport it. It'll melt if we just carry it back ourselves.

**Reyn:** Yeah, didn’t think of that. I'll get Shulk! He'll know what to do!

**Fiora:** Wait a minute! This is your plan. You come up with something.

**Reyn:** Give me a break, Fiora. You should know me and Shulk work as a team.

**Fiora:** Teehee. You'll never change. Either of you, I'd imagine!

## Net 0 (+4, -4)

**Fiora: *[I'm with you. It’s strange.]*** Do you think the people back home would want to see this? I bet they'd be amazed!

**Reyn:** Yes. I mean, we come from a place that's warm all year round. A land covered in ice is like this crazy dream world.

**Fiora:** Yeah. And I think the little ones would love to play in the snow!

**Reyn:** No doubt! You reckon we could pile some up and take it back to the colony?

**Fiora: *[Er...]*** It'll melt as soon as we move towards a warmer climate...

**Reyn:** Then we'd better get someone to help who knows about this stuff.

**Fiora:** Right. Well... that could work. The problem is, where do we even start?

**Reyn:** I reckon we’d need some kind of, um... special container...?

**Fiora:** I guess we'll have to enlist Professor Shulk.

**Reyn:** Nice one! Same as always, huh? I've been relying on him since we were kids.

**Fiora:** Hehe. You're not wrong. Let's talk to him about it later!

**Reyn:** There's a plan if I ever heard one!

## Net 0 (-4, +4)

**Fiora: *[You think so?]***

**Reyn:** What, and you don’t?

**Fiora:** I'm sorry. The thing is... Shulk taught me about why the sky rains ice like this.

**Reyn:** Did he now? That Shulk sure knows a thing or two.

**Fiora:** Yeah. Sometimes I can't believe how different you two are.

**Reyn:** Sorry! Can’t all be brilliant! Anyway, go on. Tell me about why it rains ice then.

**Fiora: *[Umm... give me a second.]*** Water from Eryth Sea evaporates... Then when it reaches the sky, it freezes and rains down as ice.

**Reyn:** You don't say... Now that I'd never have guessed.

**Fiora:** To tell the truth, I only half understand it myself.

**Reyn:** Right, that’s it! We've been chatting here so long, my toes are about to fall off!

**Fiora:** Don't be so dramatic, Reyn.

## Loss (-8)

**Fiora: *[You think so?]***

**Reyn:** What, and you don't?

**Fiora:** I'm sorry. The thing is... Shulk taught me about why the sky rains ice like this.

**Reyn:** Did he now? That Shulk sure knows a thing or two.

**Fiora:** Yeah. Sometimes I can’t believe how different you two are.

**Reyn:** Sorry! Can't all be brilliant! Anyway, go on. Tell me about why it rains ice then.

**Fiora: *[I don't remember.]***

**Reyn:** Hey! You said you knew!

**Fiora:** I did! I just forgot, all right?!

**Reyn:** Sure you ain't lying to me?

**Fiora:** No I'm not lying to you, Reyn! Quit staring at me like that. Ask me again tomorrow, all right? I'm sure I'll remember by then. *I'd better get Shulk to explain it to me again, and soon...!*
