( the pat on his arm is reassuring and endearing while not being overbearing. it makes him offer Lorna a nervous but appreciative smile. he doesn't know anyone here very well, but, if he had to pick someone to get stranded in Snowtown with, Lorna would be on the short list. maybe residual not mom feelings carrying over, who knows! )
Huh. Okay. ( does that mean Santa Rosita is in the northern part of California? come to think of it, where is Santa Rosita supposed to be on a map? he wonders if he can look it up at a library or something. ) Yeah, me neither. I don't know why but the locals make me nervous.
( as if normal people don't make you nervous, Peter? maybe especially nervous is more apt.
he trudges through the snow in shoes that are not meant for snow hiking, before he wonders out loud, ) Are Christmas Villages supposed to be a thing in the states? I thought that was a European thing. ( he might be more knowledgeable about this if he actually actively celebrated Christmas, but uh... Jewish, so he hadn't really ever been well versed in Christmas traditions. )
