Honestly, I don't understand how people don't love snow. It's cold, yes, but...overall, it's just very pretty, isn't it? How could you not love that?

[Well, here's a familiar face to some- Cheriour is standing on top of a snow pile, beaming and looking very proud of himself as his clock eyes tick on.]

[He tilts his head quizzically at the camera.]

But I have to say, I'm a bit confused as to what in the world some people do with it! You see, I'e been reading these books about what people do in the snow, and while some things are rather self-explanatory, others are...less so. For example, snowballs I understand, but what in the world is "snowboarding"? Is that like putting boards on snow, or...? And it seems a lot like skiing, too, by the sound of it! Except...I'm at a loss as to what skiing is, too. It sounds fun to say, though, skiing...

[A pause, before he shakes his head.]

Oh, oh, but there was something that I was very intrigued by in the books I read, and I don't really know if I did it correctly or not, but...I made a snow angel!

[And the camera pans over to show, well, this:]

What do you think?

[Dean has to laugh, because Cheriour is definitely the most entertaining angel he's ever met.]

That's not exactly right, though points for technique?

[He tilts his head like a curious bird.]

Ah, points? What points are those? Like, what do you humans have, those game shows where people get points? Are you giving me some of those?

[sonofabitch]

[Oh yeah, he forgot what it was like explaining stuff to angels.]

Kind of. It's just an expression, since you didn't do it right but still but in effort or whatever.

[clockeyes]

So, you're basically rewarding my efforts even though they're not at all right? How nice of you, Dean! Thank you!

[sonofabitch]

Yep, basically. [Smiles and laughs. Totally with him, not at him.] You're welcome I guess?

[clockeyes]

[He beams.]

So, have you ever done this before? Make a snow angel, I mean.

[sonofabitch]

I think once. Seen it in movies plenty, though.

[clockeyes]

They do it in the movies? But how come? Is it a noteworthy thing to do?

[sonofabitch]

Stereotypical first-snow-of-the-year thing. You flop backwards into the snow and move your arms and legs around so that when you stand up, it looks like an angel.

[Attachment: picture of a very very crude drawing sort of similar to this but, like, even cruder and with far less decoration/detail.]

[clockeyes]

[He examines and looks over the painting like it's a masterpiece painted by Van Gogh.]

...

I...see. Huh. Really, humans come up with things I could never even dream of, it's quite amazing.

[sonofabitch]

We're a pretty special bunch, huh? [Said totally sarcastically though he obviously means it a little deep down.]

[clockeyes]

Of course you are! I mean, you are the most inspiring creation I have ever seen, so really, you are all special, you truly are!
