The Fire of Friendship Castle Lives in my Hearths

[twilightpony]

The cold snap is dying down outside, but in the Treecastle, the temperature is constant. The building pulls in heat from deep underground and distributes it throughout the castle via heavy crystalline columns in the halls and buttresses that climb the walls and frame the windows and doors. That's a good thing as there are very few fireplaces in this building and they're small and inefficient. I still use the fireplaces anyway. Not only is the flickering firelight pleasant, but I still find the rock floors, walls and ceiling cold and sterile. I like my wild and messy fire. It crackles and pops and consumes wood like a live thing. I just have to keep it away from my books.

It's getting colder over here.

A week ago, it was quite warm.

Now, the temperature's below freezing.

Here the really cold temperatures thicken the ice on the ponds and lakes. It's good for skating!

Good you've got a nice fire!

[twilightpony]

Yes, as long as it stays in the fireplace and doesn't go wandering off.

[flareblitzfury]

Yeah.
