Unless Jon were to try to stay in the snow to the point where he might be risking hypothermia, Murmur wasn't going to interfere. Sometimes snow was comfortable. Plenty of animals enjoyed hibernating in it. And, well... Jon seemed to have for the moment decided to fully embrace what Murmur was talking about when he spoke of how peaceful it was.
All around them was silence. Not the tense silence that fell when a predator was roaming, but the sleepy silence unique to long dark winters where most creatures took the time to rest and await spring's return. Where deep snow dampened sound, and for just a few moments the only thing that existed was yourself and the sky. Well, in this case, the two of them.
No brooding, Jon, hold onto the peace while you can. It's always too fleeting. For his part Murmur was silent, just watching the shifting colors in the sky alongside Jon, equally rapt in attention. It had been a very long time since he'd had the liberty to just stop and enjoy the beauty of Creation. Taking the time to show Jon had also reminded him some of what he loved about the universe. So in a way, this was beneficial for Murmur as well. It was so easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of existence that you forgot to stop and enjoy things.
"Pictures can never do it justice," He murmured softly, knowing full well that Jon now agreed. This was going better than Murmur could have hoped. The peace and happiness Jon was experiencing was exactly what Murmur had hoped to convey and the aurora did it better than he ever could. Excellent choice, angel, perhaps he wasn't so bad at humans after all. That smile, especially, was well worth the flight. Murmur was overjoyed he'd been able to offer this to Jon.
I am glad to have the opportunity to share it with you.

He meant that genuinely.
