--- Icicle -- 100 -- SHADOWS ---
I admit that when I saw them there, shining in the morning sunlight, I stared at them for a while.
Where I grew up, we had little water, so we had no snow. Even when we had water in quantity, the weather never grew cold enough.
Not even living ten years in Vladirettheh could immure me to their charms.
They glinted and glimmered in the light. I tried not to think about how they still amused Bellatrix.
Trying to look nonchalant, I snapped an icicle off the railing and crushed it beneath my heel.
I want to hurt her sometimes.
