Tahm emerged from the ground outside Kolkai's front door, the pool he formed frosting over before it could drain away. In one hand, he held a covered silver platter, in the other hand, was a foil wrapped baking tray, containing a bird, stuffed, spiced and dressed for the oven. Finally, in a bag on Tahm's tongue was a gift for the hostess: a fine bottle of wine. Tahm hoped his appearance had made enough noise, as knocking would be a challenge. (Master Chef Tahm - Snowdown)

Kolkai smiled when she opened the door. “You came! I, oh-”

She moved forward to assist him, taking the bag from his... tongue and stepping aside to allow him in. As he passed, she hugged his arm and stood on her toes to kiss his cheek in greeting. “The kitchen is upstairs! There should be room on the island counter!” She shut the door and followed him upstairs. Her home was warm and welcoming, adrift with music and decorations. She hummed pleasantly as she guided him into her kitchen. “My facilities are at your disposal!” She giggled.

"Momma said to not too many sweets or I'll get a tummy ache, but people just keep handing me more and more!" - (Ruby)

“It is Snowdown! You and the other children are supposed to enjoy sweets!” She handed Ruby a small bag of her home-made peanut brittle. “At least taste what you can. There is plenty of other food to be had! Make yourself at home!” She guided Ruby towards the living room where many other younglings.

Christmas smooches.

Snowdown Gala 2019

Kolkai met his smooch, kissing him once on the lips and again on his forehead. “Welcome Seraph! Happiness and joy upon you this Snowdown! Please come inside!” The decorated interior of her home was adorn with welcoming music, warm light and delicious smells, not to mention the smile of one gracious host.

Thump thump. Gentle knocking as a familiar face stood waiting, mostly covered by ionian robes that carried the scent of a foreign land. In one hand, a massive drum of liquid, bound in robe and hand painted, carrying a strong aroma of peaches and lemongrass. Smiling sheepishly, Sen would offer the gift to her in both hands, his half shirt leaving ice on his skin. "Festivr Snowdown, Kolkai..."

“Sen” she exclaimed with glee. She carefully snatched him up in a hug, doing her best not to disrupt the items in his hands. Her hug was warm and inviting and she smiled delightfully when she retracted. “Joy and happiness to you as well! Thank you!” She accepted the gift and moved out of the doorway to allow him in. Her home was wonderfully warm and cast in a welcoming light. Scores of voices echoed from the halls and music played from her parlor. Delicious smells all mixed with the aromas Sen brought. “Please come in!”

'Tell me, girl; does this little gathering of yours require a caterer? I'm sure my talents could be of service.' Master Chef Tahm

Snowdown Gala

Kolkai’s expression illuminated at Tahm’s offer. She rushed forward to take his hand. ‘Oui! Of course! The more the merrier! I have cooked so much already! But this is Snowdown! People will come for warm food and full bellies! We must not neglect them!”

"And of course, if you need a date for your Gala, I am very much available," he teased before giving her a kiss.

“You cannot date the hostess!” She teased with a wave of her spoon. “I must attend everyone tonight! I have brought everyone to my home to celebrate, and so I must ensure their merriment!”

"Does your wonderful gala require a host to go with the hostess with the mostest," Michael teased as he draped his arm around Kolkai.

Snowdown Gala

Kolkai blinked as she smiled up at him. “Oui oui!”

With surprising skill, she wiggled out of his grasp and opened the wine cabinet. “The host with the most things must set up the drink table! Wine glasses are beneath the counter. Grab at least three bottles of red and white. Maybe two bottles of the champagne? Oh and I believe I have the wine charms in the drawer with the silverware, oh and the-”

She went on and on, issuing him instructions as she went about prepping the food table.

Oops!

17. Your character walking in on mine having an embarrassing fall.

Kolkai gasped sharply as she missed the last step on the stairs, unable to see beyond her armfuls of Snowdown decorations she carried. She cried out as she fell, sending dozens of baubles across the floor.
