Front lawn, Thursday after classes

[solo_sword]

Walking back to the dorms, Jaina figured she could be totally blind and still be able to tell it had snowed. And that it was good snow. And that she'd made a sort of promise that she thought it was only fair of her to keep. Mwahahaha.

She let John go ahead just enough that she could bend down and scoop up some of the snow in her gloved hands, patting it together into a little ball, and lobbing it at his back.

[For the attackee, and I so fail at post-writing.]

John, carrying droid babies Steve and Bob, froze upon being hit in the back by a snowball. He should have expected that. He turned to frown at her, "Do you realize you could have hit the children?"

[solo_sword]

"But I didn't," she pointed out helpfully, looking as innocent as possible.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No, of course not," John rolled his eyes. "I'm sure it was the squirrel over in the tree."

[solo_sword]

"In Fandom, I wouldn't doubt it," Jaina said, thinking there was some truth to that. "But hey, you got your first real taste of snow this winter."

John bent to set the twins down on the ground. "Yep, and here's yours," he said, scooping up a fistful of snow in his glove as he stood and throwing it at her.

[solo_sword]

She knew to try to at least turn away from it, catching it in the side. "You're so mean," she told him, trying not to laugh.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He didn't bother to try not to laugh, "You started it!" He exclaimed, bending to form another snowball to quickly lob at her. No degree of blindness got her out of a snowball fight.

[solo_sword]

That one grazed her back, since she was already bending down to put together another snowball. There was the obligatory cry of "Hey!" at getting hit, though... two seconds before she launched her own at him.

Taking it in the side of the head, he brushed the snow off his collar as he sought the shelter of a nearby tree. "This means war!"

[solo_sword]

"I kind of figured!" she called back, figuring she could still do pretty well for herself in the open where she could make more snowballs.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

There was plenty of snow left under the shade of the coniferous tree. John spent a moment making a little stockpile of snowballs before daring to move out into the open and toss one in her direction.

[solo_sword]

She was ready with another, but it might have been off due to her taking the hit in the neck. "Oh, that's going to go right down the shirt..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Smacked in the leg, John's ears perked up at the prospects of a damp shirt. "Oh no, not the shirt!"

[solo_sword]

She whipped another snowball at him, calling, "And you're just going to have to live with that!"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Promises, promises!" If he hadn't been ogling hopefully, he probably wouldn't have ended up with a mouthful of snow.

[solo_sword]

She couldn't help it, and cracked up laughing. Even if it got her hit, that was totally worth it.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Quickly grabbing up some snow while she laughed, he ran toward her, hoping to add to her shirt's collection of snow if he could catch her.

[solo_sword]

Since this was playing, it meant he wasn't going to get flipped over or kicked or anything for that, but it did mean she was trying to dodge him to preserve the temperature of her skin.

"Give us a hug" he said, opening his arms, snowball held tight in one fist, as he continued trying to get closer.

[solo_sword]

And the problem was she was out of pre-made snowballs. So she had to resort to quickly backing away and warning, "I can hurt you..." She wouldn't.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Another promise?" he asked, still moving toward her with that snowball, secure that she wouldn't really hurt him. At least, he didn't think she would...

[solo_sword]

"Uh huh," she said, mostly wondering if he'd keep going even with the threat.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Stepping forward, he was nothing if not determined. "Are we talking bone breaking hurt?" And curious.

[solo_sword]

No. "That might depend on what exactly you're planning to do with that," she said, standing her ground for now, but watching him carefully.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It's a snowball," he said, glancing down at it. "I'm going to put it down your shirt." At least he was honest.
