Winter's Heart

Asked someone to marry you? — “No, never. Never been married either. I’m probably...I don’t know, probably too shy to be the one to ask anyway.”

Kissed one of your friends? — A faint blush graced the cryomancer’s nose. “Ah...well...I suppose...it counts because I kissed a friend before we started dating.”

Danced on a table in a bar / tavern? — Icy eyes went a little wide and rapidly blinked while Vynlellis quickly shook his head. “Gods no! I’d probably just make a fool of myself. Not that I’ve..ever really...danced...anyway in the first place.”

Ever told a lie? — “Heh, perhaps some white lies, nothing serious.”

Had feelings for someone you can’t have? — “...Guilty, very guilty.”

Ever kissed someone of the same sex? — “I’ve only kissed someone of the same sex.”

Kissed a picture? — “Never.”

Slept until 5pm? — “Yes, but I don’t think it really counts because I was in recovery from injuries.”

Worked at a fast food chain / restaurant? — “Never.”

Stolen something? — “I may have borrowed some books without asking once or twice.”

Been fired from a job? — “You could call it that. I was briefly thrown out of the Kirin Tor for protesting the purge..”

Done something you regret? — “I don’t think anyone lives without regrets in their life, small or big.”

Laughed until something you were drinking came out of your nose? — “Ah, no...I have accidentally choked midst drink and laugh though.”

Caught a snowflake on your tongue? — “Many times! My ambient cold body temperature makes it easier to not have them melt before they touch.”

Sat on a roof top? — “They can be fairly good places for contemplation.”

Kissed someone you shouldn’t have? — “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe, but I guess it didn’t really affect anything in the long run.”

Sang in the shower? — “Oh, heh, privately sometimes.”

Been pushed into a body of water with all your clothes on? — “Yes, but I can snap freeze the water off so it largely doesn’t affect me.”

Shaved your head? — “Absolutely not! It took me far too long to grow out my hair to this length.”

Made a boyfriend / girlfriend cry? — “Innocent...though it has been the other way around before.”

Shot a gun? — “I’ll stick to magic, thank you.”

Still loved someone you shouldn’t? —  A soft sigh left the young mage. “I’m unsure if it’s a case of shouldn’t because he was taken from me by death so there will still always be that lingering mourning for his loss.”

Have / had a tattoo? — “Enhancement and control runes for my mana.”

Liked someone, but will never tell who? — “I-I...well...it’s very difficult for me to admit when I have feelings because I always just feel embarrassed, but I think eventually it’s always come out .”

Been too honest? — “I don’t know...maybe? Is too much honesty a bad thing?”

Ruined a surprise? — “Innocent.”

Been told that you’re beautiful by someone who totally meant what they said? — “I’ve believed that statement by only two people, one of my past and one of my present.”

Stalked someone? — “Do I look like a rogue to you?”

Thoughts about murder? — This question seemed a little difficult for Vynlellis to answer. He chewed on his thoughts and what he should say, quite literally chewing on his own lip and fidgeting his fingers before finally admitting. “...Yes. In great strain of emotion.”

How about mass murder? — “Like genocide? Of course not, but I have had to defend myself against enemies.”

Cheated on someone? —  “Never.”

Gotten so angry that you cried? — A hand ran over his own face to cover it with a flush of embarrassment. “Ah, well, yes it happens from time to time.”

Tried to stay away from someone for their own good? — “Physically? All the time, I’m always extremely cold.”

Thoughts about suicide? — “No, I mean I do experience profound sadness and loneliness but I’ve never had my thoughts drift to ending my own life.”

Had a girlfriend / boyfriend? — “Yes, although I can count them on one hand. My current partner I’ve been with oooh...” Vynlellis scrunched up his nose in thought and quickly counted down on his hand. “Almost half a year now.”
