Seraphina smiled warmly, the cold air around them seemingly disappearing in the light of her affection.
"So, what would you like to do?"
Robert's face lit up with excitement as he eagerly asked.
"Do you know how to make a snow fairy?"
Seraphina tilted her head slightly, intrigued. "A snow fairy? What is that?"
"The Snow Fairy is a small guardian that looks like this,"
Robert explained, his small hands moving animatedly as he tried to describe the figure. "It's said that he gives gifts to good children with plump bodies," he added with the pure conviction only a child could have.
Seraphina chuckled softly, the sound like the tinkling of bells in the cold night air. "Then, will you teach me? Let's make it together."
"Yes!" Robert exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over as he rubbed his eyes with his small hands as if to chase away any lingering tiredness.
