Computer science might be interesting, he'd need to look into it one day. Maybe ask Jihyun to show him what she could do with the keyboard, or just let her code in general while he'd simply watch, without her needing to explain and/or be nervous about it. He wouldn't mind sitting in silence, it was something he liked as well. Changkyun couldn't help but smile and rubbed the back of his neck as a light blush appeared onto his cheeks, "Thank you~ It's really a big milestone, and a wild thing to accomplish in general. I'm proud of it." He caught a glimpse of the little trinket, it keeping the smile on his face. He could get her something Sanrio themed, or Hello Kitty in general, "Egg fried rice and chicken have been calling to me all day... So I was thinking of that. Would you want some too? I could also get us pizza or so."

Her smile grew and she lifted her hands and gave him a small clap with her finger tips as the rest of her hands were hidden away by her oversized hoodie. A milestone accomplishment was always important and should be celebrated. She'll buy him a dessert after the meal as celebration. And maybe an excuse for her just to have another strawberry cake. "Th-that sounds good. L-let's get that, what you uhm have been cr-craving all day." She nodded quickly. "O-oh can you h-hold one second?" She smiled up at him and pointed at the convenience store across.

Well, he was very tall and could easily dominate a physical situation, had he wanted to. But he was a gentle giant who'd rather be logical with things. And he knew how lots of women would "take a chance with a bear rather than with a man". Many men were horrible. Seeing the little laugh had Ullr feeling relieved, knowing she was more comfortable with him, even with an injury. Snowy area rescuers would be equipped with a pack like his, maybe with more things tho and with a partner. And with thick clothing to prevent freezing. Some would fly a helicopter if needed. But Ullr couldn't exactly just say that he was a deity of the old ways. The little praise made him chuckle, "Thank you miss." Once she had sat down, he got to his position again and glanced at her over his shoulder, "I'm strong tho, could easily pick you up if needed. Ready? Let's go then." Taking the ski poles, he used them to push himself onto the move, the rope attached to him pulling the sled along. He tried to keep the pace as steady as possible.

"Eunsoo." She responded when he called her miss. She may as well share her name, it wasn't like they were going to be apart from each other any time soon, may as well make acquaintance now. And it was only manners that she was nice to him since he was helping her off the mountain. What a funny turn of events she thought to herself. Holding on tight, she made a squeak when the makeshift sled actually started working. She wasn't sure why part of her had doubts that it would work. But the fact that it was working now certainly had her heart in her throat. She definitely wasn't expecting to be riding a makeshift rollercoaster. "Will take long, yes?" Was her heart going to be able to live through the rest of this mountain?!

Securing the knot few more times, he took the ski poles, leaning on them for a moment while looking down the mountain, then to his watch. They still had another hour of daylight, maybe ten or fifteen to the resort if they hurried, "Serial killer?" His tone was surprised while turning to look at her again, but gave her a reassuring smile, "If I'm completely honest, such fear is understandable. But I aim to bring you safely back to the resort. And yes, you just sit on it. I could do one more thing..." Now muttering, he took her skiis she had taken off already, and put them under the branch sled so it would slide more smoothly on the snow, "Some years ago I volunteered to help in a rescue team, so you could say it like that. But please, get comfortable and make sure to hold on." Offering his hand, he helped Eunsoo to sit down on the sled, "I would have offered for you to hop onto my back but it might not be good for your leg."

She was surprised how understanding this man was. Given she had simply called him a creep and serial killer all in one go. And his reassurance made her laugh. Maybe it was silly, but she couldn't help laughing at the scenario at hand. It was possibly the best outcome in a series of unfortunate events. If nothing else, at least she could tell her manager she stumbled upon a hot guy who helped save her life in the middle of the snowy mountain after nearly a fun fall. "Oh." So he was some kind of first response rescuer. Her mind wandered for a moment, imaging which of the uniforms he'd be in and decided he'd probably make a hot firefighter. Of course, this was all just fun she was coming up with in her mind. "You are skill, very skill." She said as she took his hand and used it to steady herself onto the makeshift sled. Thankfully, she was small, otherwise, she'd be worried. "I may be too heavy for your back." She chuckled and used both hands to lift her leg onto the sled and grunted. Why were ski boots so uncomfortable again? Once she was situated, she gripped onto the sides of the sled and looked up at him. "Okay. Ready."

After taking even a sip of the drink, Changkyun felt himself more energized and a faint shade of blush slowly rose to his cheeks while watching Jihyun giggle, "I'd ask if you needed help with it but I know nada of that area, and I believe you know much more than I could ever even imagine." If one day Jihyun wanted to explain, he'd gladly listen even if he wouldn't understand the terms. Seeing her excited over things she liked made Changkyun happy. He then nodded with a light hum, "Yeah, somewhat slower. We had our 10th debut anniversary lately which is rather mind blowing." He explained, getting up with her and swinging his own pack over his shoulder after sliding the extra strawberry milk carton to the side pocket to carry, "I'm not sure yet.. Do you crave anything specific today? We could grab something to-go, eat someplace calm in general or order take-out."

Jihyun smiled and nodded slowly. She was sure if Changkyun wanted to, he'd be great in computer science. Coding had always seem like the kind of thing others simply got into and enjoyed. In her world, coding meant she could avoid others at all cost, she didn't have to speak and there was no one around judging her speech impediment. Clapping her hands together gently in celebration of his ten years. "C-congrat-congratulations! T-that's a uhm r-really big m-milestone." She nodded with a bright smile. Slinging her comically large bookbag over her shoulders, a small Hello Kitty trinket dangling from the zipper, she got to her feet and did a little wiggle to balance out the weight. "U-uhm... I a-always eat the s-same things. I-If we uh g-g-got takeout w-where would w-we go?"
