Outing: Rio and Dylan build a snowman

Dylan Alexander   Another day of snow had left the Washington compound covered in white. Since she was a little girl, Dylan had felt snowflakes were magical. Each different, unique in their own way. She had overheard that Rio's patrol was coming back early this evening. It was a quiet night, probably because of the weather. She went bundled up and found her snow boots then headed up to the garage.

When she got there the air chilled her cheeks making them rosy. She head the SVU coming up the drive and the doors to the garage door opened. Sitting on one a crate she waved at Rio when he got out. He came over to her, she stood up and kissed him then waved at the others as they went to the elevator. "Go change or get rid of your weapons, then come back and play in the snow with me."

Rio Atanacio *Unbuckling his holster he empties out the chamber of his glock then locks it up in the weapons box. Turning he scoops up his mate and nuzzles her face* And what my love do we play in the snow?

Dylan Alexander Laughing when he scoops her up. Their noses touching, she Eskimo kisses him. "We can play whatever we like, but most folks build snowmen or make snow angels. We could have a snowball fight."

Rio Atanacio *Sliding her down his body he opens the door to the SUV and retrieves his coat, gloves and hat* A snowman would be safer for you. *Taking her hand he lead her out the door to the front yard.*

Dylan Alexander Following him the night air is cool and the sky clear. The moon has the yard illuminated like the sun. "It's beautiful out here tonight. Have you built many snowmen?"

Rio Atanacio *With a lopsided grin he shakes his head no* Growing up in Spain I don't remember seeing snow as a child. I think I built one with Mira once. But other than that no. *Bending down he forms a snow ball and rolls it around patting it gently as it grows in size*

Dylan Alexander She tosses a little snow at him and grins before she starts to form a ball. "It's a wet snow which is better snowman building. So handsome, do you have any ideas how you want him to look when he's done? Do we need a hat or scarf for him?"

Rio Atanacio *Shaking the snow from his gloves*Ahh baby, FYI. All snow is wet And no I have no preference on how he should look.

Dylan Alexander Stuck her tongue at him when he said all snow was wet. "Then lets make him look like he's having fun too. I think my snowball is about the right size for his head." Looking at the one he was working on. "A little bigger and yours can be his body."

Rio Atanacio *Stack the round snow balls on top of each other. He helps his mate roll out the last and largest snow ball. Lifting it up and placing it gently on top he steps back* He seems to be missing something.

Dylan Alexander "I think we need to add some arms, so he looks like he's standing on his head. Then maybe some kind of feet and a nose. A carrot for a nose. I'm sure Savvy has some or Gabby may have some in the barn."

Rio Atanacio *Using his Breed speed he goes to the barn and retrieves some carrots and charcoal. Handing them to Dylan she makes a face and says in a gleeful voice it is done. Titling his head to the side he tells her not quiet. Making to more small snow balls he places them on the lower mid quadrant of the snowman and then shoves a a fairly large carrot between them. Standing back he holds her close* Now he is done.

Dylan Alexander When he was done, all she could do was laugh. "This is a first on any snowman I have ever built, but it works." Leaned back into him. It was getting colder, "I think we should head in. It's getting colder or it seems to be." But before they head in she snaps a photo of their creation.

Rio Atanacio *Lifting her up in her arms* I think you need something warm in side you and a hot Breed to warm you. *Grins showing the tips of his fangs as he hurries inside the compound.*
