❝ Winter Wonderland ❞

[medievalism]

{ i wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? }

That's it, that's the post. It's here for all your cozy, hygge, wintry RP dreams. Here are some ideas:

• snow: first snow of the season/ever, making snowpeople, forts, or snow angels, snowball fights, snowed in
• warm: hot drinks, warm blankets, crackling fires, busting out the winter coats and socks, baking in a cozy kitchen
• holidays: decorating, picking out a tree, preparing the big holiday meal, exchanging gifts
• activities: shopping, cooking, sledding, ice skating, cuddling with someone special
• new year: par-tay!, toast, countdown, midnight kiss

It's adorable, watching Dal take in his room, though a part of him wants to shrink away in embarrassment because he so rarely brings friends back home with him. Mostly, he's just happy to provide a warm and safe environment for him where there are people who are very comfortable speaking Korean and are more than willing to help out one of Lark's friends in need, especially during the holidays.

He notes how small Dal seems to make himself, how inconspicuous he tries to be, and Lark cannot help but reach out to touch his arm reassuringly.

"You can take all the time you want," he urges. "No one needs this bathroom right now. If you wanted to borrow something of mine, I think I have a holiday sweater to wear to dinner." He wrinkles his nose, chuckling.

"Or I can throw clothes in the wash for you. Whatever you want! We have two hours until dinnertime."

Borrowing something is probably a good idea. Dal's only 'nice' clothes are buried in the duffel and probably wrinkled from it. But he does own a pair of khaki pants and a white button-up. Sometimes, he needs to look presentable. Maybe a sweater over that would be okay.

"You don't mind?" Even as he asks, he hefts his bag onto the cot to start digging through it for clean clothes, the small bag with his toiletries, and another still with all his makeup. "I think my shirt might be wrinkled..."

"I wouldn't mind at all. I have a steamer in here if you wanted to straight out any clothes, though!" Lark chrips. His family wasn't exactly dressed to the nines downstairs, the theme being festive and comfortable ( especially with all the food waiting for them ).

Lark perches himself on his bed with his bag at his feet, unzipping and pulling out a few holiday clothes ( also festive but mostly in pastels ) to display as he waits for Dal to sort through his things.

"I brought extras because I couldn't decide," he admits sheepishly.

Dal's nicest clothes weren't very nice, in all honesty. They all fit poorly due in part to him being so slight and him getting all his things from thrift stores or donations to a local shelter near his place. Even he shopped at regular stores, he'd still have to have most of them tailored to fit him just right.

What he ends up laying out are a pair of tan trousers and a nondescript white button-up. Only mildly wrinkled from being stuffed in his bag. He spreads them out on the cot. The pants definitely need the steamer (Lark will show him how to use it, right?) but the shirt can be covered with a cute festive sweater!

"Which is your second favorite?"
