His smile briefly widens at her playful retort and Kyle has to focus on not staring at her. It's hard when there's little to distract from her and she's such a great distraction from the things he probably should be thinking about. As if in direct defiance of the thought, he pulls his hands from his pockets, running his fingers along a branch to feel the snow and start embracing the cold.

He stops short when she turns to face him, not worrying about something negative and yet not at all expecting the words that do come. Kyle twists his head enough to give her a teasing side-eye, smiling even as he does. "Thanks?"

Not wanting to discourage her though, he immediately drops the facade and gives a sincere smile instead. "I'm glad I met you too."
