chatelaine of cair paravel

[charning]

In the wood, near but not too near the Lantern, drives a sledge, drawn by a reindeer under the whip of a Dwarf, and carrying a woman, of sorts. She is taller, and paler, and somehow - grander, more terrible, colder even than the deep winter through which she rides. The furs are decorative; she wears nothing over her ears, which, were she human, would spell frostbite given how long she has been on this ride.

The harness-bells jingle tinnily.

One of the dwarves holds up a yellow jelly bean, smirking.

[jackfrostbite]

His eyes track the bean without conscious intervention.

He licks his lips.

A good time is had by - all.

When Jadis finds out what her minions have been doing with the provided jellybeans, she laughs and laughs.

[jackfrostbite]

Winter is amused by her amusement.

[charning]

That is the correct reaction to Jadis's amusement. So he gets a jellybean. And then she sends him away to kill someone the secret police have informed on.

[jackfrostbite]

It's so nice when he has things to do.
