Chris lay on his belly in the snow, the cold not even bothering him; benefits of having such a higher body heat, besides all the... multiple drawbacks. He did have to wear a light coat and a pair of pants, but it was less than the layers most people had to don.

At the moment though, he wasn't thinking about the snow, or the winter wind that blew through every now and again. No, he was watching a bird feeder set up near the edge of the woods, a binocular up to his face and elbows braced in the snow.

"Alright buddy, come on..." A soft whisper to himself. There were a few lunchers that flitted in and out, each of them watched carefully by the incubus, but none of them were the one he wanted. Then something else attracted his attention- admittedly, more that it scared all the birds away than the sound itself drew his attention. Lowering the binoculars he looked up and around, at which point his brain processed what it'd picked up even if he hadn't been listening: someone, or something, crashing down into the snow a few feet away.

"Hello...?" Maybe a bobcat had missed a jump for its own lunch, although he didn't hear any bobcat growls. Pocketing the binoculars as he stood up, he brushed off the snow and sought out just what had caused the sound.

Chris's little call wouldn't get a proper answer, but if he was listening closely enough, he might hear a muffled mutter of "oof" from nearby. Following that sound would lead his gaze to a lavender-pink tail sticking up out of the snow, the turquoise poof of fur on the end splayed in every direction.

"What in the creature world?" He did see that weird tail, and started moving closer, carefully. While doing so, he ran through his catalogue of just what had tails like that- But no, couldn't be, could it?

Arriving at the spot, he leeeaaaned over then, seeing the being laying in the snow was roughly person-shaped, bent down and picked them up.

"Hold on, I've gotcha-"

As soon as he pulled them clear of the snow, he looked down curiously.

"OH JEEZ, IT IS A FRAGGLE!"

Of course, in his startle he dropped her-

-and then immediately scrambled to catch them- her? he thought she might be a girl, it was hard to tell with Fraggles -before she hit the snow again. It was a bit of an awkward grab, but at least he made it.

"Oh man, I'm sorry!! Kneeling with her, he carefully set her down. "Are you alright??"

Mokey honestly found his reaction more amusing than anything else - although it surprised her that he identified what she was. Gobo had said very few Silly Creatures knew about Fraggles... She giggled through being dropped and smiled warmly up at Chris when he set her down. "I am now that you got me up from the snow."

He smiled when she did, and now that his surprise was out of the way all he felt was pleasant curiosity. So he plopped himself down in the snow and crossed his legs, bringing himself more down to her level, his striped-and-spotted slender tail curling up behind him.

"So what brings a Fraggle up here?"

If Mokey caught sight of the tail, it certainly didn't seem too odd to her, and she didn't comment it. Instead, she gestured around at the snow-covered ground. "I wanted to experience this."

Chris looked around them for a moment, smiling widely. "Yeah, I could understand that! This must be pretty different for you, huh?"

Then he glanced at her, grinning crookedly, one fang showing. "My name's Chris."

She nodded her agreement. That fang was mildly frightening, but mostly just interesting to Mokey.

"I'm Mokey. How did you know I'm a Fraggle?"

"A few different reasons, actually!" He considered telling her one of the big ones, but thought they should at least know each other for more than thirty seconds first. So instead what he said was, "I study animals, demons, and magic, and though you guys are a pretty obscure listing, I have read plenty."

Then he sucked in a breath, his tail sticking straight up behind him for a moment. Looking at her, he spread his hands with a bright smile. "Hey, speaking of studying animals, that's what I'm doing out here! How much do you know about birds? And would you like to see if we can find a really unique one? I've been waiting for a sighting, should be any minute now if we're lucky!"

"How dedicated you must be to your studies!" Mokey said, clearly approving of the fact. She clasped her hands together in front of her, eyes widening a bit at Chris's excitement, though that was accompanied by a warm smile. "I know birds come from large eggs, and they enjoy flying."

A glint of interest in her eyes, then. "Unique? I'd love to see it!"
