Alula wasn't typically one to explore these days. Not with how tired she was. She had given up on trying to get Lucifer to leave her alone. He followed her everywhere, bothered her greatly. All she wanted was some sleep. 24 hours. All she needed. She wasn't going to get that though. And being young, the lack of sleep was effecting her greatly. Her hair had lost its shine again, her eyes dulled. She was constantly dragging herself around and jumping at the slightest of sounds. Yet, she put on a smile. She didn't want anyone to worry about her. Though, she had to admit, she wouldn't mind Benedict fussing over her. It wouldn't happen. Only in her dreams. If she could have any. Today, was different. Coca on her shoulder, Alula was glad to drag herself put of her damp room. She decided, maybe exploring would help her wake up. A little bit. The Cofficat on her shoulder chirped happily as she stalked down the hallways, silent as usual. A door caught her attention. How had she not noticed that one? Now a little more awake, she shuffled over before turning the handle. The door swung open, revealing a closet with lots of coats. Coca jumped down from her shoulder and bounded in, disappearing. After a while, Alula started to worry. She glanced around before pushing her way through the coats. Woah. This was a deep closet. She turned around to glance behind her for one second and tripped. She fell on something cold. Cold enough to wake her up with a yelp. "What the what?" She asked, jumping up. Snow? What? Why was there snow? Why was she outside? Coca approached and she picked her pet up, gazing around in wonder, magically wide awake. "Woah." She muttered. Pine trees and other trees created a beautiful frozen forest. Oh! That pole looked cool! She decided to tell her father. Surely he would enjoy this? She spun around bounding back through the closet. However, as soon as she was back, she was tired again. She shut the door and held Coca closer, shuffling down the hallway. "Dad?" She called out quietly, approaching the kitchen. Hey maybe she would bump into Benedict first!

In fact she would bump into Benny first. He was closer, Dean was up in his bedroom polishing his guns actually. Benny was just kind of wandering around looking for something to do. Then he found Alu holding coca, looking for Dean. The male would brush a stray strand of hair out of his face an walk over to her, a small smile on his face. "Hi Alula." he greeted, feeling butterflies rise up in his stomach and hoping he didn't mess up something or accidentally do something stupid.

Oh. Well her thought was valid! "Hey, Benedict." She greeted back, excitement rising in her eyes. She suddenly felt underdressed I'm his presence and shifted uncomfortably. Maybe he would like to see the place she found. "Hey, want to see something?" She questioned mysteriously before whipping around and strutting off to the closet without awaiting his reaction, Coca in her arms. Surely he would follow.

She shifted a bit he noticed. Benny wasn't sure why but she did. Then Alu invited him to see something, he wasn't sure what this was but it sounded fun! She seemed to think it was fun too! "Yeah!" he said cheerfully, happily following the girl and her Cofficat. Ooo he wondered what it was. What could it be?

Ah, so he was following. She made her way to the closest before pausing. As soon as Benedict caught up she smiled. "Follow me." She said, setting Coca down before following her pet into the closet. Pretty soon they were in the cold winter wonderland. She awaited Benny's arrival however.

Wait they were at a... Closet? What in the world did she want to show him that was in a closet? Benny was confused but decided to just go with it. "Ok." he said, hesitating a moment before following the one who currently held his heart into the closet. He was admittedly slow, and still didn't understand what she wanted to show him. Where even was she anyways? He took another step forwards- woah
Wait did he miss something? They were in a forest thing now, oh hey there was Alula! And coca! He took a couple steps until he was by her side, the excitement soon fading as he realized he had no idea where this was. Then concern would rise in him. "Where are we?" he asked, and no matter how worried he was he couldn't help but be awed at the scenery, and it showed in his voice.

Alula shrugged. "I have no idea." She admitted before kicking some snow. Coca bounced around, happy to be in the snow. Ah, this was quite nice. "Think the others will like it?" She asked. Suddenly, her mind recalled how she had seen kids play on this stuff. She bent down to scoop a handful of the coldness, quickly turned it into a ball, and threw it at Benedict. She scrambled off afterwards, taking cover behind a tree while giggling.

Would the others like it? Maybe, maybe not. He was curious as she bent down to pick up the snow, he was pretty sure it was called, packed it into a ball and then- wait no that wasn't right! She threw it at him! Benny hadn't truly experienced snow before nor had he played with it and didn't know she was trying to play. Wait why was she giggling? He couldn't help but feel disheartened, unhappy at her actions. A frown quickly formed on his face. "Why'd you do that?" he asked, a hurt tone to his voice. Last he recalled you weren't supposed to throw things at people. Did he do something to offend her? No she was giggling, surely she didn't think that throwing things at him was fun?

An audible snort was able to escape Alula, never having been one for caring about 'hurt feelings'. She had always been that way. "Benny, it's called a snow ball. It's a game... snow ball fight I think the others called it. Throw at people." She explained without leaving the tree. Here, she wasn't tired. Here, she was back to her old self. Coca had managed to form his own snow ball and was almost trying to pick it up; failing and simply laying on it.

Why would you throw a compact pile of cold stuff at someone and call it a game? It had fight in the name! The male didn't quite comprehend it, couldn't wrap his mind around the idea. "But, but why would you throw things at others and call it a game? I thought you weren't supposed to throw things at others?" Benny said. He was just very confused right now, maybe later he would understand the game.

Alula snickered. "I don't know. It's a thing we humans do. Humans do lots of weird things and call it... games..." her voice trailed off a bit at the thought of her past. She shook her head. "It didn't hurt, now did it?" She added, voice hardening to a more Dean voice. "Or would you rather have it tucked down your shirt?"

Huh. Weird, to say the least. No it hasn't hurt, and oh dear no he did not want it tucked down his shirt. He hadn't liked it when she threw it at him in the first place, it couldn't feel much better down his shirt. Clothes still puzzled him to. When it was cold he understood hey put in something so you don't freeze, but any other times clothes just confused him. He had been born an animal, and animals didn't wear clothes. Not usually, some did but it wasn't mandatory or expected that one did. Unlike here. Here he had to wear clothes, as he quickly discovered. Those first mornings he had been so confused when he woke up with clothes on, but he soon remembered. Once, only once had he tried to go without clothes like he had when he was a dogon, and it had not ended well. A lot of screaming from lark. His being hurried back to get some clothes on. Well it hadn't been a pleasant morning. "No it didn't hurt but please don't put it in my shirt." Benny said, shifting a bit uncomfortably. "Why can't you guys just play moss ball or warriors?" the male asked. Those were the games he was used to, the ones that made sense. Sure there was truth or dare and all that fun stuff, but moss ball was fun and it didn't involve getting hit by a bunch of cold stuff.

Alula tilted her head. "Mossball? Warriors? The kind of games do you play?" She asked, confusion deep in her bright green eyes and voice. They weren't from each others universes, she recalled... they all had different games than what they were used too. Heh. Maybe it would be nice to learn some of these games? She paused for a second, turning her attention to the opening too the closet. Everything was weird anymore. She didn't understand anything.

Yeah, this kind of games he played. It'd be different as humans than it would as four legged animals, but he bet it would be fun nonetheless. They just had to get some moss or something that would serve the same function as the moss. Now that he thought about it, moss ball was essentially fetch. Huh. Benny gave a small nod and would shuffle closer to Alu, deciding that if something were to go wrong it wouldn't be as bad by her side. The snow was cold to say the least, and he thought that the others would probably want to know about this. "So now what?" Benedict asked.

Alula thought for a second. "Maybe we should tell the others?" She said, turning her attention back to the closet. Coca bounded over to her, leaping up and being caught by his owner. He squeaked at both of then before wriggling to sit on her shoulders. Eh. Alula didn't mind. That's where he usually sat, keeping her shoulders warm. She couldn't help but want it be Benedict's arm.
