[ A watchtower. How does it stay upright? How hard would one have to pack the snow for it to not just cave in under the weight of a human body? Vasiliy squints the tiny diorama on the mailbox for a moment, assessing. It sounds fantastical, but he can recognize, at least, the limits of his own experience, and is humble enough to realize that the young man has probably known more about the handling of snow since early childhood than he does at 34 years old. ]

You are going to build it here? In the yard?

[ It sounds like the sort of thing that the Homeowners' Association would take quite a bit of objection for, a dark, dreading realization that turns his stomach. Hopefully it'll melt before the young man gets far enough for it to no longer be dismissed as having a good time in the snow. If they don't like the grass being too long, they probably won't like a watchtower. ]
