Jack had spent the last three hours balanced motionlessly on the top of a flagpole, head tilted back as he listened to the wind and the sound of the city below. Where is Winter? it asked. I'm here! the spirit replied, but he knew it didn't mean his physical presence. He'd had too much on his mind and too much in his heart and in that sense he had indeed been absent these last few weeks.

Eyes closed and thoughtlessly trusting, he tipped forward into open air, letting the wind catch him and hurl him upward into the misty cloud cover that scudded across the stars tonight. At his touch they thickened, fat and pale grey against the indigo backdrop and Jack swirled them up, the motions so ingrained in him they felt just like breathing. In the small hours of the morning snowflakes began to fall on the sleeping city, specks at first but then quickly becoming heavier.

Now with a fresh canvas to work with, Jack was really in his element. He could never have done something like this back home, not anywhere in his world. It would have been too strange, too inexplicable, drawn too much attention. But here on the turtle, things were different. There wasn't really a semblance of normal and Jack poured his imagination and heart into the things he wanted most to share, and from the snow rose gleaming swirls of snow and blue light, forming things of exceptional detail and delight.

By the time the sun rose, a solid three feet of the snow had blanketed the city, glistening and crisp and Jack went rocketing down the streets, rapping on doors and windows to leave spirals of frost on every surface.

"Whooohoo! Snow day! Get up sleepyheads, everyone come out and play!"

Bunnymund is trying to keep up with what Jack is telling him, but along with everything else he's been finding out about this place, he was in a kind of information overload. He's really having a hard time processing what Jack means when he says that he's been here since December, since they'd only had Easter a few weeks ago, and he'd seen Jack since then as well.

Then again, having Easter coming around again so soon was just another strange thing about all this, but Bunny just didn't know how to wrap his head around this easily. He'd lost all that time somewhere.

"We can worry about that later," Bunny offers, ruffling Jack's hair and sitting up finally. "We're really stuck here, then?"

Bunny just nods slightly, figuring that he'd just deal with things as they came. Whatever this place was, he'd already figured out he wasn't getting off of it, and for now he was more concerned about Jack, who had apparently been stuck here longer than the pooka realized. "I'm in the Wood District. 3B, I think."

He's a bit distracted though, because now that Jack isn't right on top of him, he can finally get a good look at the young Guardian, and even if they were mostly healed, the way Jack behaves isn't missed. "What happened to you, Jack?"

"Close to yours, huh?" He gives an amused smile, having a hard time not finding Jack's excitement just a little bit infectious. "Guess that means I have to keep an eye on you now, is that it?" He nudges Jack playfully. "It won't be the Warren, but I guess it'll have to do for the time being."

His eyes narrow just a little bit when Jack answers his question, and while he isn't so sure that's the whole story, he doesn't want to pry too much. He's trying to move with Jack though, wanting a better look.

It's not like Bunny cares or anything (Except that he totally does), but Jack was an ally and a fellow Guardian, even if he was still green as far as Bunnymund was concerned. He had no idea what he'd missed, what was going on in this place, and especially what kind of trouble Jack Frost had undoubtedly gotten into. If Jack was hiding something, then Bunny would find it out eventually, because nobody messes with his people, even when it's Jack, who probably deserved it.

He lets it go once Jack hops to his feet though and covers up the scar, putting the smile back on his face to meet Jack's enthusiasm, and eventually he gets up as well, brushing the snow off and giving one last look at the Guardian sculptures before looking back to Frost. "I wanted to ask you about that too, mate. We're believed in here, by the kedan?"

While Jack's excitement like this is usually something that should worry the pooka, he can't really pretend that he isn't happy to have Jack here. It's only a bonus that they're already believed in by the people here, foreigner and kedan alike, and he doesn't have to start from scratch again.

The thing about adults seeing them is pretty strange, but he's hard of some who never stopped believing, and things in this place were strange enough already. More prominently, he remembers that this is all new to Jack still, and he can't resist teasing just a little bit. "Welcome to being a Guardian, frostbite. Feels good, doesn't it?" The whole being believed in by more than just a handful of kids, even if a handful was all it took to save everything.

"Being believed in? Yeah, more or less." He crosses his arms over his chest and puffing up a bit. It's hard not to be proud. "Adults being able to see us is something new, I'll give you that at least."
