Melting Snow scanned his friend's list until he found his cousin's name and messaged him asking if he was busy at the moment. A few seconds later his cousin replied with a no and wondered why Melting Snow was asking. That's when Melting Snow started a video call with him.
Once the video call was opened, Melting Snow saw his cousin and started laughing. "Zixuan, what is that all over your face."
"It's just soot from when I was blacksmithing," Zixuan said sheepishly while rubbing the soot off his face. "Also, what did I tell you about calling my real name inside of the game."
"I'm sorry, Soul." His cousin's full avatar name was Nascent Soul but Melting Snow always felt that it didn't roll off the tongue and just called him, soul.
"Was there anything you wanted to talk about?" Nascent Soul asked concerned. "You don't usually video call me."
