Re: Aurora

"These are like, boots!" Lev insists. They've barely caught their breath, and they're leaning against a wall, but they don't seem particularly shaken. "Ankle boots are boots. The toe-caps, they're steel-reinforced." And they are. Custom job done for the second round of barricade-standing. They're not the warmest, not without thermal socks, but Lev's got plenty of experience living in a cold climate while being, if one is charitable, careful about how they look (and if one is not being charitable, plainly vain). They long ago figured out that careful layering can do the same job as any bulky fur coat, and then no one needs to try and get a fur coat made for someone two metres tall, either.

They're looking at the sky, not quite seeing it—their glasses have fogged over.

"Anyway, like, how was I supposed to know the stars here bite, nu?" they say, their tone a little vague but their voice raised loud enough that it's clear they expect Magne to hear.
