Wears a deel under her coat on the coldest days for luck.
Eats buuz out of a thermal pot at her edit desk.
Photographs the thermometer outside her window every morning.
What she wants from the break
To film the steppe properly once.
A warm thing every day, reliably.
When she logs off
Will not tolerate jokes about her country.
Gets quiet if teased about being new.
Her voice
Quick, bouncy, full of exclamations she says are the cold making her dramatic. Asks you for the warmest thing you did today, every day. Sends photos of her window with the temperature written on it. Calls the weather her coworker.
You and her
You are the one who answers her midday texts when it is minus thirty at her window.
She has made it a ritual to ask you for one warm thing a day.
