In The Eyes of the Beholder

"That was a nice bath, don't you think so, Kaia?" Carlotta asked, walking out of the bath covered in a towel.

Kaia sat on the bed, looking out the window as the snow continued to get heavier. She turned and nodded to her, a smile on her face.

"What are you looking at?" She asked, walking to her and looking out the window as well. Her eyes fell on the snowmen she made with Dor earlier that day. They stood there, tall and proud still.

"Were you looking at the snowmen?" She asked, looking over at Kaia who nodded and turned back to them. "Why?"

"Why not?" She signed at her, eyes fixated on them.

"I've never seen you so interested in something before." She said, clasping their cold hands together. "So I am just curious."

Kaia clasped her hand tight and continued to look outside, eyes drifting away for a second as Carlotta tugged at her hand to bring her back.
