(( set a few days after WA; closed ))
Michael was shuffling in the snow in front of the back porch of the mansion, waiting for Maya. They hadn't agreed on any precise time, just after lunch, so he had turned up earlier, and now he was walking slowly in the snow, aimlessly making a shape of a few feet wide circle with his feet.

Maya walked out to the porch, seeing Michael she smiled and walked over to him. Her feet making a crunching sound in the snow.

Michael raised his head at sensing her approach, then held his hand out for her. "I hope you're dressed warm," he said.

"I did," Maya smiled and looked down at the jacket and scarf she wore, she then took his hand.

They headed away from the mansion; it didn't really matter where they went, but Michael still felt like offering some kind of an option here. "Which way do you want to go?" he asked. The park, the gardens, the cemetery, or the route around the lake were all equal in his mind.

"Why don't we just head were our feet take us..." Maya said, smiling.

"The kind of thing that's best done with your eyes closed," Michael nodded. "I think we'll end up tumbling down the slope towards the lake."

Maya laughed, "Ok, then how about the park?" She asked him, her held tilted to the side a bit as she looked at him.

Michael nodded, turning in that direction. "The park it is, then."

Maya smiled as they walked in the direction of the park, "So, you planning on confusing me today?" She asked with a smile and a small laugh.

"No such plans so far," Michael said. "You sound excited about the prospect, though."

"I'm merely preparing myself," Maya told him with a slight grin.

"That's always a good idea," Michael agreed. "At least I always abide by it." He looked down on their hands together and then at Maya's face - he wasn't smiling, as usual, but his glance was soft.

Maya smiled softly and nodded as they continued walking.

"Do you have any plans for Christmas?" Michael asked. It was as good a topic as any, probably, at least it seemed so right now, and Christmas was still some weeks away, so he decided to ask her about it.
