"I appreciate that, Blaise," she chirps. Really, she does. There are... certain things she can't talk with Lily about. It's kind of always been that way. And Summer is occasionally one of them. If he gets to be friends with Summer, all the better - for all her complaining, Winter does worry about her mirror from time to time. Not that she likes to admit it to her other. "Not that I think I need protecting from Summer, of all people, but stranger things have happened." Much stranger. Like this morning, when Winter gave real consideration to ending her on the spot.

The sudden need to get moving, however, gets her attention; checking her phone, she notes the time with a nod. "Sorry, am I keeping you from something? It is getting a little late... maybe I should be getting home after all. Don't worry about me, though. Is there somewhere I can walk with you to?" She's well aware this is kind of backwards, but, well. A lot of what she does is backwards, sometimes on purpose.
