Everyone within Genie's castle was up and moving earlier than usual, busy making preparations for the day. Clouds heavy with snow threatened to open up, and bury the roads. The servants rushed around making meals, and double-checking that Genie and his guests had warm clothes.
Everyone from Alcon had their clothes from home, and were used to colder weather to begin with. Due to where Sai was positioned on the coastline, it didn't get very cold, but it did get the occasional snow. When Mei and the others came into the dining hall for breakfast, they could tell right away that people from Sai did not react to cold very well..
Mei had at least four extra layers on, and Rukia practically looked like a puffball. Hang and Bai Lei were all bundled up, but not as extremely as the other two. Genie and Hana looked more like the Alconians, since they were wearing far less layers.
