A Christmas surprise!
Who: Ryoji and anyone who is dumb enough to be walking around in the middle of the night!
What: Ryoji has just arrived in Avalar. He is wet and cold and also appears to have something glowing under his scarf. Wonder what that's about?
Where: The lake! And wherever we go from there.
When: Exactly midnight, the start of December 25th.
Warnings: Ryoji! Ryoji is a mess in general. And now he'll probably get hypothermia.
[A shout echoes in the cold evening, followed by a splash, as a newcomer suddenly arrives in the forest. There's silence for a few moments after, and it's almost like there was no disturbance at all by the time a boy finally gets his head above water, gasping and scrambling onto the icey shore.
He curls up for a moment, shivering, and his dragonfly flits about nervously as it flashes a bright blue, a beacon for help, but it's not the only thing that's glowing... Underneath the teen's scarf, there's a purplish light, emanating from something. Who knows what it is? He'd have to take off his scarf before anyone could see.
The guidebook, orb, and gems are only stared at in shock for now, before he surveys the area. His lips are blue, and his teeth are chattering so violently that he can't actually speak... but if he spots anyone, he'll at least look at them with wide eyes, silently asking for assistance.]

One thing at a time, though.]
Uh, yeah. It sounds crazy but I promise it works. I was shown my first day here, too.
[She smiles at Ryoji's dragonfly. When they reach the spot she gestures to the gap and points at her own dragonfly, who flits over as though bored with the whole thing.]
Watch!
[She takes it's hands and... yeah. Sort of, hover-glides over the gap. It looks pretty ridiculous.]
no subject
He watches attentively, and as ridiculous as it seems, he thinks he understands it. Honestly, there were some pretty weird things back in the Tower too. Magically gliding over gaps using glowing dragonflies is pretty tame.]
I g-got it…
[And he does! He copies Minako’s movements with his own dragonfly and they quickly make it over the gap.]
no subject
She watches him cross, ready to help at any moment if something goes wrong, but he seems to get it fairly well. In fact he's hardly fazed by the strangeness at all as far as she can tell. Maybe that's just because he's too busy being cold. She wraps the towel back around his shoulders and helps support him the rest of the way, to the portal, and the short distance to her small house.]
It's warmer inside. I can make tea or cocoa or just warm milk... I don't think I have any dry clothes that would fit you but you can borrow a robe I guess.
[Minato should have clothes that would fit the boy. They seem to be the same size. She can ask him later.]
no subject
C-Cocoa, please… do you have any towels?
[He doesn’t want to make a mess in Minako’s nice house, even if she’d argue that his safety is more important than some silly rug. He just can’t help but worry about other people, even when he might catch his death of cold.]
no subject
Of course, here! Get out of those wet things before you catch your death. I'll be in the kitchen!
[She'll let the poor boy have his privacy. No use stripping him herself when he's perfectly capable of that. With that she drops one towel on his head and another in his arms and disappears behind a barrier into what is most likely a small kitchen.]
no subject
[He’s still a little embarrassed and concerned that Minako will pop out before he’s done, but his need to be dry overcomes that worry, and he eventually scrambles to dry himself and get into that nice warm robe.]
