Bella sees them soon enough. Those little guys are quite alert and aware of their territory. They knew she was there the instant she appeared. They do nothing for a moment, chattering among themselves. Eventually they seem to settle on a consensus as to what to do. The drawbridge begins to lower.
Once she’s across there is absolutely no dissent present. All of the Snow Miser’s mini-misers move fluidly as one, as if they all share the same mind and know what each will do before he will do it. They lead her into the palace, seeming to understand Bella is here to visit without her having to verbally express her intentions.
It’s extremely cold here. Hopefully she has taken the proper precautions to keep herself warm.
They lead her into a large room filled with machines. If Bella has been here before then she can recongize there are more machines. Newer machines. Lately the Snow Miser is rapidly trying to expand both his magic and his technology. For hundreds of thousands of years he saw no need to grow, change and adapt, but as of late….
He’s at one of the machines, pulling a clever with his delicate gloved hand. He waves his other hand in greeting. “Is that a visitor I hear?” He looks over his shoulder back at her and grins. “What brings you to my frosty home, dear?”
There they are .. and they are so much more aligned than she originally thought. Bella tilts her head at the little snowmen, tailing behind them with a pensiveness. They’re so tiny ... and so alike. She can’t help but study them from behind ; their details and their little shoes, ears twitching to perk for any further sound they make.
---- And upon entering the chilling chamber, realization hits. Even to a half-breed vampire, this chill is enough to make her eyes shrink and hands draw up to her arms, instinctively rubbing at them for warmth! Even though she’s bundled up beneath the cloak she previously put a warming spell on, this cold is .. well, it’s in its element. Any magic she had cast was not going to be up to par with Snowmiser’s, so there’s still a chill nipping at the tips of her pointed ears and her little pale nose that immediately begins to turn red.
Momentarily, she fell behind as the mini-misers went on, huddling into herself and succumbing to a momentary embarrassment. But! From the satchel hanging at her side, she does retrieve a very small fire opal ring and slides it on ... and immediately finds some relief. She shakes her head and shoulders a little, muttering apologies to the mini-misers before following them along in tow! And she just.. looks around the palace ; curiosity flourishing right into childlike wonderment sparking as little stars in half-lidded eyes now widening to full width.
It’s so pretty. When ice is in a collective like this, it really emits its subtle, gorgeous color of blue and white .. the icicles hanging from above! And --- machines?
Her ears lower. Now, what are those? There’s such a collective ..
“Is that a visitor I hear?”
And her ears perk again, standing straight like antennas the moment she notices Snowmiser.
Her hair fluffs ... !
Her crystal beams a bright, icy green .. !
A reaction that only those lovable Holiday legends can inspire. Her chest momentarily puffs with a held breath, and her heart starts skipping a quicker beat.
Bella meekishly sinks into her cloak, burying beneath her hood.
“.. it’s an honor to meet you. are you really snowmiser? I mean, of course you are, I --- ugh, I’m sorry.” Sinking further. “I can’t .. seem to formulate myself ... I’m so sorry .. It’s just so amazing to meet you ---”
not at all answering his questions, but it’s mowing over into a fan gush. A timid one, but none the less! Give her juuuuuust a moment to reboot.
