"GRRAHH!" went a loud noise amidst the raging tundra. A pair of large glowing red eyes could be seen approaching the isolated house steadily through the wintry blasts. "Huh...Do we have another visitor? I better go see who it is" spoke the tigress staring out the snow covered window before hopping off the sofa. As she approached the front door the loud treading sounds soon came to an end and were replaced with some light knocking on the door. "Coming!" replied the tigress as she slipped on some leggings 'I'll be damned if I'm getting the cold with the draft that'll be coming in from outside' she thought as finished dressing. The tigress opened the door and was greeted by a young woman in an elegant outfit. "Lily! It's been SO long! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!" spoke the tigress gesturing Lily to come into the house out of the snow.

"Evening Marihea! Sorry for the racket, I got some snow blown up my nose when I landed and got some brain freeze...hehehe...I might have accidently burned a few trees a bit further down because of it..." laughed Lily as she played with her bangs entering the house. "Oh...wow you're looking fancy Lily! I really like your outfit!" smiled Marihea taking the dragoness' coat. "Thank you very much Marihea, it took a while to get something that fitted. You know...with the whole wings and horns thing....hehehe..." chuckled Lily taking a little spin to show off her outfit to her friend. "Mmmm...I gotta get something like that, it IS very cute on you! So you got my invitation ok, yeah? We've a room down the hall set-up for you ready and all. I am kinda curious how you manage to shift from dragon form to this one without ruining your clothes..." pondered Marihea glancing at the dragoness' wings and tail. "Ehh...it's not too difficult. A bit of mana manipulation here and there, kinda like how you shift into your robes on demand." smiled the dragoness as the pair went into the kitchen. "Take a seat and I'll get you some hot coco...you take cinnamon and mallow right?" asked Marihea as she filled the cup with hot chocolatey delight.

"Yes please Marihea! I'm so happy to share some quality time with everyone! I take it you've Felix out doing messages again? You're such a bad girlfriend..." snirked Lily. "H-hey! I'm not that bad! I told you before, we're PARTNERS-" replied Marihea puffing her cheeks and chest out before she was interrupted. "Uh huh...that's rich coming from an Alterisian that travels, eats and sleeps with the same manm AS WELL AS SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED MIGHT I ADD! Sounds more like a husband actually than a boyfriend the more I think about" interrupted Lily drawing a heart shape with some flames she blew towards Marihea that quickly fizzled out into glittering lights. "Mrmmph...NO! NO WAY I just...We just..." stuttered Marihea in a rare moment of fluster. "Heheh he you're so funny when the topic about the relationship you two have crops up...Happy Christmas by the way, I've some presents for you all in my bag!" chuckled Lily as took a satisfying sip of the hot chocolate.
