Ocello laughed and shook his head.
"The Vortex is well and truly over for the year." Ocello continued to chuckle.
"You mean we will go through this every year?" I wondered. He nodded his head. I guess there were things in this world that I didn't like.
The snow outside was beautiful, but the idea of going out to do anything in this weather made me shiver. I was much happier sitting by the fire with several blankets and a cup of tea.
"After the season of snow and rain comes the cold. That period is less consistent, but it is usually around a month." Cuau said, stretching as he woke.
"Really?" I wondered. "Is the weather always so obedient?" I asked.
"Just during the cold season." Cuau stood and walked over to the window. Taking a peek outside, he smiled. "It looks like Lindi and her husbands are braving the snow for a visit."
I looked down at my unkempt attire. I reached my hand up to my hair and felt the rat nest it must have turned into.
