"Yeah. It is." He could replicate it in VR. Get the lighting right, the correct colors, the way it reflected on the snow. Idia could make it all perfect.

...but it wouldn't be the same. He had always used that excuse to not go out, saying he could remake a place digitally, that way he could stay comfortable in his room. But in a way... being stuck out in the cold that bit against his exposed skin, sitting on the hard ground, the sounds of others around them and also enjoying this. It... it was nice.

...it would be better in a climate controlled room though... but it was nice.

As much as he was enjoying it eventually Idia started fidgeting with his gloved fingers as time progressed, waiting for it to hurry up and be done, checking now and then if others were leaving and Romeo was still enraptured with this all. Idia did manage to stick it out, but by the time the sun was beyond the point of 'sunrise' he was more than ready to leave. Standing up he gave a groan as he straightened out, arching his back to stretch his legs and back out, before returning to that normal stoop of his, looking to check on Romeo. The kid had been up all night and waited through the early morning for this, he must be tired, right?

Still, better to ask instead of assume. "You ready to go back?"
