[ thinks twice on explaining it to him, settling instead with a small shake of his head. hands ruffle caleb's hair again briefly. ]

We'll talk about this later. Let's get dressed instead, okay?

[ nods & dislodges to point to the clothes. moves around the bed to the closet, rummaging around before pulling out his winter jacket. ]

Mine is easy to wear.

[ stares at the jacket. stares at it some more. ]

... and I have to bundle up like I'm in the North Pole. Sounds great.

[ seems to miss the sarcasm altogether: ]

Ja! Is a good idea to wear many clothes. I am not sleep in snow, but Nathan want to.

[ droops a little at that. ]

But I don't want to sleep in the snow alone...

I sit next to Nathan while Nathan sleep. Is okay!

[ makes a small disgruntled noise as he begins to take off his shirt. ]

It's not the same, you know.

But sleep in bed together is more good. . .

[ reaches over for his new shirt, pulling it on as he speaks. ]

Yeah, but sleep in snow is our mission. And making snow angels.

I sleep in snow before! Is Nathan turn. But I make snow angel! Dog angel!

Dog angel?

Me! My snow angel. Add ear and big nose too!

[ can't help but laugh at that after a moment's pause, shaking his head as he swaps pants to begin putting on his other jackets. ]

Right, I forgot.

[ beams at the laughter, then finally shuffles around to wrestle out a sweater of his own from his dresser to tug on over his head. ]

Look nice, and funny.

[ hums in agreement as he tugs on his gloves. ]

Then what kind of snow angel should I make?

[ his answer is immediate: ]

Nathan angel!

... yeah, I know, but what kind of animal would I be?

[ pauses, scratching the back of his head. ]

What is favourite animal?

[ looks elsewhere at that, giving himself some time to think. and then: ]

I never thought about that before. All animals hate me, so...

[ nods, knowing that to be true from previous conversations. ]

Then Nathan be Nathan? Nathan angel be friend with dog angel.

[ shrugs a shoulder at that, shuffling over to his backpack to dig around in it for his scarf. ]

Sounds about right to me.

[ hands one of his bigger jackets to nathan when he sees that nathan's about done in completing the layers upon layers of protection. ]

Almost done!

[ takes it after he stands, fumbling with it a little clumsily until he gets it on. looks down at himself. back up at caleb. ]

Am I ready yet, mom?

[ thumps at nathan's clothes-layered sides as a test before nodding with a grin. ]

Ja! Very ready!

[ murmurs something about looking ridiculous as he shoves on his hat, waddling around a little awkwardly as he waits for caleb to finish his own changing routine. ]
