I imagine there being this stupid tradition in Marigold’s lands where all the young men coming of age go ice swimming? And some kind old man, or maybe even Percy when he’s visiting, offers to go along with Astor to do it with all the other boys and girls? And they all jump in, trying to hang in there as long as they can. Astor just chilling like >>? He wins the day and gets patted on the back and stuff. And then Marigold rides out into the snow SCOLDING Percy and wrapping her bby up in a blanket and pulling him into her lap.
