It's difficult to imagine a frigid Mondstadt.
Sureā There were points in the year where the weather most certainly got colder, but overall it was very temperate and comfortable most of the time. Never in your life had you been more grateful of that fact than now.
The icy Dragonspine breeze nips at your face, feeling like a dozen tiny blades slicing at your cheeks. You bury yourself deeper into your scarf, squinting in the dim light of the moon at your boyfriend as he walks just a few paces ahead of you.
"Lohen," Your teeth chatter a bit as you speak, and you quicken your pace in order to fall into step next to him. "It's freezing. How much longer are we going to be out here?"
Lohen's pretty abyss colored eyes flit over to you, mirth lighting up in the very depths of his irises as he grins. He reaches out, tugging your hand out of the warmth of your pocket so he can intertwine your fingers with his own.
"Don't go quitting on me now, you agreed to come along."
The reminder stings just as much as the arctic winds; Lohen is fully aware of the fact that you struggle to deny him of anything. Even, somehow, when he shows up at your door in the middle of the night asking for you to trust him and let him take you somewhere nice.
Knowing Lohen, he was simply dragging you out to make you watch him slaughter some random ruin guards that he found.
"Against my better judgment, clearlyā¦" You whine, and Lohen laughs.
"Don't be like that!" The young knight sidesteps you, pressing himself up against your back and reaching his gloved hands over to cover your eyes. "We're almost there, I swear on it."
You can't help but grumble, but for the most part, allow him to simply lead you along through the snow. As eccentric as your lover tends to be, you have enough trust in him to believe he wouldn't just push you down the side of the mountain at this time of night.
Eventually, you both come to a stop on a mild incline, and Lohen carefully removes his hands from your eyes to reveal what he had dragged you all this way for. Right before your eyes is a rather large frozen pond, illuminated only by the moon's gentle shine and completely hidden from view by the trees that surround every side. Perhaps it is simply the way it looks in the night's fragile glow, but either wayā¦ it's beautiful.
The moonlight casts the icy pond in a dreamy sheen, the frozen water reflecting the milky white light with such radiance that it almost seems to be glowing. Your breath fans out as a puff of smoke, awe made tangible by the sheer cold of the mountain. The moment of peace is quickly interrupted, however, when Lohen casually steps right out onto the ice as if there wasn't a single part of him that believes in self-preservation.
"Whaā Hey, Wait a second!" Lohen glances up at you as he slides out, never straying too far from where you stand on the bank. "Are you sure that's even safe? What if the ice breaks and we fall in?"
Lohen smiles again, in that familiarly infuriating way that both squeezes your heart and also makes you want to smack him across his smug face.
"Don't worryyyy," He reaches out to grab your hand, tugging you happily right out onto the ice with him. "If you fall in, I'll just fish you right back out!"
