Resounding

Lorty observed the snowflakes tumble through the air with an inaudible nature. For a brief moment he forgot the bustling streets surrounding him and he was once again in Vulture Woods, sitting on an ashen tree branch, enjoying the tranquil snow. 

  "Ooh, the first snowfall of the year. It's pretty. Too bad it'll get chilly soon. I hate the cold," a cheerful voice said from behind the hybrid's ear.

  Just like that the moment was ruined and Lorty was back in Hollow Shade. "Remind me why you're here again?" Lorty sighed.

  "What's the matter? It's a beautiful day and there's no classes today either," Plum said.

  "You're the matter, or rather problem," Lorty continued walking past the throngs of people. It was getting cold, but it didn't stop anyone from visiting the trade district.

  "Come on, you don't wanna go shopping with your best friend?" Plum teased with a mischievous smile.

"I am not your best friend."
