Just a girl, her platonic gal pal, fluffy soft snowfall, and... a hovering ghost-sword looming over their every move. Well, at least the scholar- Aegislash- is quiet and unobtrusive. She honestly doesn't know why something so powerful-looking needs her as a bodyguard, but if it means getting to earn favor with the guild- and spend time with Shoka- then she'll proceed without complaint.

She's always loved the cold. In fact, as soon as they cross the threshold to Icefall Lake, she does a little prancing in the snow and shakes the accumulated snowflakes off her head, looking back at Shoka with a wide grin (revealing slightly more prominent than usual front teeth for a Deerling).

With that said, it's already starting to get to her after just a little walking, and she tries to hide the fact that she's shivering. She wishes she had her scarf or her coat from home. Aegislash seems completely unbothered, and Shoka... well, Noelle is curious if that disguise keeps her warm. Does she even get cold? A part of her wishes she knew more about what Shoka looked like under that disguise, but the thought makes her blush (for some reason????????) and look away.
