Freon led Oreo out into the cold snowy day, his spirits only lifting higher as the snow started to cover his thick fur coat.
"So what would you like to see first? They are still working on rebuilding the castle, but we could go take a look. There are some great forests and grasslands around here," he paused and smiled, "but something tells me you would rather be indoors?"

Oreo followed Freon out of the cafe. Now that she had had a chance to warm up and get somthing in her stomach she felt consiterably better - the snow was even pretty now.
The crunching of snow under her hooves brought back memories of when she had been just a foal and her parents had taken her on a trip to the mountains. They'd only gone for a day, but she could still remember her mother's laughter as she had watched Oreo and her father throw snowballs and build snowponies.
"What are they rebuilding the castle for? Remodling or just starting over?" she kicked a small ball of snow in front of her, making it slowy grow larger and larger.
She shivered slightly, knowing that as soon as was possibly she was going to need to find a warm jacket and definatly a place to stay.
Scott raced up and down the sides of the street, sniffing like mad.
"The cold's not that bad." she decided aloud. "I just needed to warm up a little."

Freon smiled at her admitance that the snow wasn't that bad, but saw her shiver regardless, and started walking her towards the nursery where he was staying so they could grab her something to cover up in. As they walked, he told her what he knew of the castle and its rebuilding.
"When I arrived a few months ago it was the day after a large battle between the Rainbow of Light and the Rainbow of Dark. Many of the houses and buisnesses were ruined by fire and explosions that were never explained, and the castle collapsed during the battle. They have it half finished now, but its a big castle - takes a while to rebuild something like that."

Oreo followed Freon in silence for a while.
The idea of any big battle was so foregn to her. The biggest battle she'd ever seen had been between baby Splotch and baby Icecube back when she used to be in daycare ten years ago.
The farther they walked the more numb Oreo's nose became. Large flakes of snow glittered in her mane and stuck to her eyelashes so that everytime she blinked small white flakes fell to the ground.
"Where exactly are we headed?" she asked.

Freon smiled at her, she looked very nice covered in snow like that.
"We are going to the old nursery - after the battle it was converted to a temporary home for those that lost theirs when the castle and neighborhoods collapsed." Then he decided he had better add something so she didn't think he was just trying to get her to his place, "I figured we could pick up a coat for you there, you can even talk to them about maybe living there if you need a place to stay right now."

Hearing that she might have a place to stay Oreo's ears perked up.
"Really?! You think they'd take me in?"

Freon smiled warmly, "that's what the nursery is there for. They take in all of us that dont have a place to live, feed us and shelter us until we can find one. One of the fillys who runs it lost her own home when the castle went down, and the other is a Sister from some charity in Course - they are very nice, you will like them."
Freon stopped before the Nursery and turned again with a smile, "here we are."
