[The snow falls in great flakes from the sky, covering the walkway that's sprung up out in the lake. The one that connects to what looks like some sort of tomb, with a stylized metal man of some sort on the wall outside the great, heavy doors. It has voices, as well, drifting out into the cold - a young girl and a man, both with English accents.]

You look very nice in that dress, Victoria.

Thank you. Don't you think it's a bit...?

A bit short? Oh I shouldn't worry about that, look at Jamie's.

[From the expression on Jamie's face, the girl's voice strikes some sort of cord deep inside - and his own reply is barely a murmur.]

Victoria...

[Some time passes before he notices the footprints, but once he does, he - like everyone else - starts to follow them, eventually making his way to the fire in the observation deck. As he's rubbing his hands to try and warm them, he looks up to see that question scrawled across the many screens in the area.]

Och, that can't be good.

(OOC: Feel free to run into Jamie at the Cyberman's tomb or on the way to the observation deck or at the deck itself. Just let me know which in your reply!)

Aye, maybe so. [He's frowning, too.]

Are ye really surprised, though, given this place?

[fortune_sought]

[her scowl deepens] No. No, I'm not.

[bonnypiperlad]

Look, maybe we should see about going to some of the others, and telling them what's going on. That way, if they think that it'd needed, they can have us ask the question.

[Although it might mean they'd wind up having it asked too, but it was a risk they'd have to take. Or he would, at least, depending on what Sophie wanted to do.]

[fortune_sought]

Ah...yes. [she pulls herself from her angry thoughts, nodding. as much as she'd rather not put people in that position, if it's the only way to stay warm, then that seems the best plan] Thank you, Jamie. [she pauses, feeling a bit awkward saying so after everything she's learned. it hardly feels right to thank each other for forcing the revelation of secrets, but she does mean it. still, to fight the awkwardness, she quickly adds:] We should split up and see who else we can find.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, that sounds like it would work best. [He turns to go, but then hesitates a second and turns back.]

I'm glad that you're feeling better now.

[And lest things get awkward again, he gives her a quick smile to say 'you're welcome', then disappears into the snow in the room to try and find other people to talk with.]
