His first snow fall was remarkable. He laughed and danced in the white with a glee that escaped a fair number of his peers. He had been enchanted and amazed and pretty sure that this was the best thing ever. He took a flight in the drift and realized that this was something meant to be shared.
There was a snow storm when the first Kaiju managed to get to Praxus. Before the Jaeger and before anyone was able to save them. Or so the story might have unfolded. But the Praxians had sounded their alarm and the Seekers had forced the beast back until the military was able to take it down. He remembered all the deaths from the Seekers' ranks. Snow wasn't as wonderful then, made his eyes cloud over in grief.
The next storm he faced was shortly after he became a Pilot. He'd become agitated and jerky and only the Praxians understood. They had sequestered themselves away and taken refuge in one of the warmer rooms. His fingers had ached and cramped and he'd settled into the room with a fond smile.
He considered these things as snow continued to fall outside of his apartment. They'd been snowed in and, unfortunately, that included that damn nuisance's group. The other tenants had taken to them well enough, he supposed, but it didn't mean he liked it.
"Star's beloved shine, my dearest child, snow is the sky's way of granting us peace." This is what he remembered best about his mother's teachings on snow. His scowl was still in place, steadily graying hair falling in his face as he stared out across the piling snow.
"I hate snow worse than you." It startled him out of his thoughts and he turned to look at his guest. A grin crossed his face as he settled in front of the man. "Thank you... for letting us stay here."
"Would you like something to eat or drink? Or are you just sittin' there looking all pretty?" He grinned at the laugh that followed. Not all snow storms were so bad... maybe.
Advent calender set in a Pacific Rim fusion world. The series is called Redefining the Drift. Most of it features Starscream, Predaking, Soundwave, and Knock Out so that's why they're the tagged characters.
