(Meeting) Melo & Meldt, Together

Lore
The yeti placed the little snow woman on his back, and she clung to his white fur. He asked, "What's your name, little one?" but the only reply was another outburst of tears. "What a crybaby..." With a concerned look on his face, he scratched his head witha large hand before speaking in a gentle voice. "My name's Meldt. How about I call you Melo? I'll look after you if you agree to help me for a while. Deal?"
