Winter's chill blew around both the mage Arianna as well as her pseudodragon companion as the two of them walked through the freshly fallen snow. Despite her lack of clothing, Ari didn't care about the temperature at all, thanks to a magical ring she had on her finger at all times.

Finding a stump poking out of the snow, she sat down upon it, putting her staff up against it, and pulling out a small container and cup out of her Bag of Holding. Sophkiel ran around happily, jumping at the bits of falling snow, as well as leaving cute little clawprints everywhere.

Ari poured a cup of steaming hot coffee out of the container into the cup, and started sipping it as she watched her pseudodragon be silly. Chanting a few words in Draconic, and waving her free hand, a ghostly hand appeared in the air nearby, and it scooped up a ball of snow and tossed it. Sophkiel leapt at it, swatting it with her claws, the snowball exploding into bits right after.

Laughing, she had her magical appendage repeat the process, keeping her partner occupied and happy while she relaxed.

 evangellos crafted this truly fantastic picture of Arianna in her more common form (now), enjoying the chilly weather out in the middle of some snowbound forest somewhere. I love so much about this, and pictures like this only continue to show his amazing skill level. Thanks again to the artist for all his hard work!
