Eli #593: Vision Atop a Snowy Mountain

Player

Yay! I won!

Eli

I lost again…

Player

Do you struggle with video games, Eli?

Eli

Not at all. Today's just one of those days.

Eli

Let's have another round.

[Fade in/out.]

Eli

There you have it! I won that one.

Player

A-Ack. You sure did.

Eli

Ah, it looks like the stove is about to run out of firewood. I'll have to fetch some more…

Player

I'll go get it!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Brrr, it's freezing!

Player

Huh? Something smells really good…

Eli

Oh, I'm glad you're back. I'm sure it was cold out there.

Eli

The borscht is just about ready.

Eli

Eat it up while it's still piping hot.

Player

Ooh! Is that what was simmering away all this time? It looks sooo good!

Eli

*Giggle* It stewed for a long time, so even the meat will be melt-in-the-mouth tender.

Player

Can't wait to taste it! …Mm! It's warming me up from head to toe…

Eli

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Option 1: “No, it isn't!”

Player

No, it isn't! It's really tasty, and it warmed my whole body up in a flash.

Eli

I'm happy that you like it.

Option 2: “Is it really?”

Player

Is it really? It warmed my cold body up in an instant, and now the tips of my fingers and toes are gradually warming up too.

Eli

*Giggle* Then make sure you eat a lot of it!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

*Sigh* That borscht was amazing!

Eli

How many times have you said that now? You can praise me all you want, but there's only dessert left to serve.

Eli

The pudding's still chilling, so just give it a little longer.

Player

Yay!

Player

You know…it's kind of unusual. Everything outside of the window is such a pure white that it's like we're totally cut off from the world.

Eli

What would you do if that really happened?

Player

Don't say something so scary!

Eli

Hey, now. As long as I have you with me, there's nothing for me to fear.

Eli

If you're scared, on the other hand…

Eli

You're welcome to come a little closer. Let's huddle together so that we know we've got each other.
