Making the cake

"Welcome back Drifting Cloud." Wei said as soon as the two boys stepped onto the houseboat deck. "Who is your little friend?"

"Roaming Wind let me formally introduce you to my first friend in this game, Melting Snow." Xinya said while sending Wei a smile. He then turned to Melting Snow and said, "Melting Snow this is Roaming Wind. She is like a sister to me, so treat her well."

Melting Snow bounced over to Wei, a big smile on his face, while reaching out his hand, "It's nice to meet you, I have heard so much about you."

"The same goes for you," Wei replied, taking the offered appendage. For some reason as she looked at Melting Snow she kept picturing a giant puppy. She had to hold back the urge to reach out and tossle his hair.

"Where's Wandering Sound?" Xinya curiously asked. He wondered if he had already arrived back from finishing that quest he had.
