Gabriel asked Estelle what her plans were for the afternoon. Estelle thought for a moment, then smiled lightly, "How about we go for a hike? I haven't been to the hills behind town in a long time." After she spoke, she turned to Sylvia, "Jonathan and I are planning to hike up the hill. We walked quite a bit this morning, so if you're feeling tired, you could rest up in your room."

Sylvia shook her head, "I'd like to join you guys on the hike."

Gabriel chimed in, "Then let's all go for a walk!"

Despite being located in the more temperate southern part of the country, the weather was cold, rendering the hills a bit bleak in winter.

A cobblestone path wound its way up the hill, allowing just two people to walk side by side. Estelle and Jonathan led the way, with Sylvia and Gabriel trailing a few steps behind at a leisurely pace.

It had snowed a couple of days ago, leaving thin patches of snow in the bushes and shaded areas that hadn't yet melted, contrasting with the green of the pine trees, adding an interesting touch to the scenery. Estelle spotted a rabbit and hurried after it, with Jonathan following closely behind. Soon, they were out of sight.

Sylvia seemed to really enjoy the winter landscape, looking around with a smile, "It's so peaceful here!"

Gabriel nodded, "It's usually quiet around here."
