section7mfu | The Snow Maiden

This is actually an upcoming drabble for my ongoing drabble a day set, but I wanted to post this one here because I have an image to go with it that I'm very fond of that I wanted to share *l*. Hope no-one minds me indulging in that whim.

"Good morning, Miss Eklund."

"Good morning, Mister Kuryakin. Oh, how lovely. May I see that?"

"Yes. She is Snyegurochka, the Snow Maiden. The American Santa has elves to help him, in my homeland, Ded Moroz or Father Frost, is helped by her. She is his granddaughter."

"She's absolutely charming. I think that she'd be perfect for the top of the tree. Let me get the ladder."
