"Aw, hell."

There's no getting around it. The little moped Josh was taking back to the cafe is good and stuck now. He'd been trying to keep to the cleared walkways but after a while there simply weren't any. He gets off the vehicle carefully and tries to walk it further. It can't be more than a quarter of a mile to the cafe from here. If he has to he can leave it and come back for it later but considering it belongs to Ice Bear and not him he'd really rather not ditch someone else's property.

It's slow going, until Josh's foot sinks much farther than he'd intended to.

"Whoa--!"

He tips sideways and nearly disappears into a drift that's as tall as he is. Josh's suddenly grateful for the beanie and gloves he's wearing. Less so for the lack of a parka. His insulated vest is nice but his arms are already feeling the sting of the cold as the snow begins to wet them. It's as he's struggling to pull his leg free that he hears Reyanrd's riddle nearly sung out over the oppressive silence the blanket of snow creates.

"Hey be carefu--oh. The snow's no trouble to you, huh."
