Getting out of the cold

Character(s): Cid Highwind and Rose Tyler
Content: In the midst of the snow and cold, Cid has a visitor
Setting: Cid's shop
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Cid

Cid was sick of the snow. Okay, so most of the time his trips outside of his store weren't much more than the general sort of everyday errands that needed to happen in order to keep things running it was still damned irritating. He'd gotten used to the place not having weather inside the domes, much though he would have been loathe to admit it, and to have it start having weather now wasn't exactly comforting. Still, he'd done what he could. It wasn't like he was expecting anyone to brave the snow, but making sure it didn't entirely overtake the storefront gave him something to do at the very least.

At the moment, however, he was tending to the various mechanical workings that his hobbies were comprised of, while the ever-present teapot was working on getting the latest batch of water suitably heated.

Rose had heard about the snow in the city, and decided to experience it for herself. Sure, it'd be a little chilly and there'd be the occasional bit of discrimination to deal with, but it was probably better than staying in the TARDIS and getting underfoot with whatever jiggery-pokery the Doctor was trying to accomplish.

Of course, now that she was in the middle of it, she was coming to regret that decision. The snowfall had been so bad that the city was coming to a standstill, and now some semi-competent burly sorts had set up shop next to the gates.

She was weighing the pros and cons of whacking a guard upside the head and making a run for it when a particularly fierce flurry sent her scurrying into the nearest shop.

Rose had the good grace to look sheepish as clumps of snow fell from her coat. "Erm... sorry 'bout your floor."
