Ahkauris tried to teach Vraeryn how to use his claws for extra traction on the ice. She's not an ice dragon herself so the temperatures here can be a little too cold for her when the sun dips low, but as a dragon that nonetheless enjoys the snow her regular excursions here with her sister in the past makes her the closest thing to an expert Vraeryn can ask- at least while Ayahleh wasn't there. She left once they arrived, something about finding something nearby that she was excited to show Vraeryn.

First attempt did not go well, and Vraeryn slipped, slid, and plowed straight into a large pile of snow. He's none too pleased with the embarrassing fall for the moment but Ahkauris found it hilarious, laughing hard enough that she's nearly falling over. He's lucky Ayahleh hasn't yet returned, she might've laughed harder.

Not to worry as once he's done feeling sorry for himself, he'll laugh too. Maybe start a good-natured snowball fight to "get back" at Ahkauris for laughing at him.
