The imitation and the assumptions get a proper, hearty laugh from him. "Oh no! Seasons, no! I wouldn't have bothered listening to any mortal man at Winter. I had been in France. Caught up in this march against the enemies of Le Chapeau. As soon as Winter came, I did as Winter bid. I pretended to be a normal soldier for a while, which I enjoyed immensely. The trickery of it. As a man I didn't care about the Russians much, but as a Winter spirit... They knew what Winter meant. They respected it. I had even less quarrel with them."
