Winter has come to Imperium of Kodumaa. The air is dry as bone and the winds are a harsh. The usual winter in Kodumaa is between minus 20-35 degrees Celsius. Today was such a day, the snow completely covered the mountains and highlands of Kodumaas north western region of Siyungou. The region is culturally distinct from the rest of Kodumaa as it is nearest to the Second Imperial Chinese Republic and home to most of Kodumaa’s Buddhist and Taoist people the Khümüüs (OOC: Mongols basically) as well as many Kodumaan born Chinese born of Chinese refugees fleeing the civil war.
The snow town of Tenger Khot of 1.4 million people was known for its tourism, mostly for its mountains and lush hills, in the winter it became a hub for the nations adventurous tourists and nature enthusiast to experience nature and tough it out in the outdoors with various snow resorts and surrounding geysers and camping sites in Kodumaans known frigid tundras.
Such nature tourists included both Crown Princess Yasna Sygvaldi and her older sister Princess Janna Sygvaldi. Yasna wearing black fur clothing with a matching thick fur hat and Janna in white matching the snow outside. The two royals were staying at a resort simply known simply as Royal Suvd Resort, a luxury lodging and cabin settlement in the Suvd Mountains 15 kilometers east outside of Tenger Khot proper.
The two princesses just finished getting settled in their rooms which were opposite eachothers with their security detail nearby. The two of them where in the lobby downstairs dressed rather casually to not catch attention eating Khuushuur, a type of dumpling with beef mutton filling with garlic, chives and onion common in this part of Kodumaa. Janna wasn’t drinking today; her sister Crown Princess Yasna however was having some shots of Chinese Baiju. “You know sis drinking alcohol like that in temperatures such as this isn’t good for you, you know that right?”
Yasna replied “Relax sis, were on vacation, besides I’ve drank stronger stuff before.” Janna scoffed and responded “Yeah like last year when we were in Yulvitsk and you accidently threw up on me at St Boronsov’s Church?” Yasna signed in frustration “You’re not going to let that go, are you?” Janna was rubbing her forehead in frustration. Yasna’s expression changed to a goofy grin “Holy shit, will you relax, I mean jeez, were in Royal Suvd Resort. A place known for its spas, hot springs and natural geysers around here a plenty and tons of places to ski and snowboard, just loosen up, I mean hell you might even meet some cute guys around this time of year.”
Janna replied “You sound like mum. Are you going to be on my case and try to set me up too and start pressuring me to have grandchildren?” Yasna chuckled “What? No…She does have a point though…I mean you’re what 31 now, you’re not getting any younger. Unlike me who still has her youth an vitality.” She said glibly with the same obnoxious grin on her face knowing how to get under her sisters skin ever so slightly. Janna gave her sister a slight scowl “Wow, ok, well I’m leaving now.”She got up and made proceeded to leave while her sister said “Oh come on don’t leave, we need to go over your retirement, plan, get your affairs in order.” Janna simply ignored her sister while giving her the middle finger while Yasna was smiling the whole time.
Janna made her way to her room and put on her navy blue and while one-piece ski outfit made mostly of waterproof fabrics of nylon, spandex, and wool. She then made her way to the chairlifts with her snowboard waiting in line dressed conventionally to not rase any attention.
