Karal was on his way back from the library, once again carrying Altra, when he happened upon a giggling Luke.

Both he and the 'cat stared. "Luke? Did someone feed you brownies?" Karal asked cautiously.

[tatooine_doofus]

Wide blue eyes stared up at Karal. "...no."

[vkandis_son]

"Good!" Karal grinned down at him, shifting Altra's weight. "I wanted to be sure. What are you doing lying in the snow?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"Making snow angels," Luke said, moving his arms and legs. "Rory showed me."

"It really is snowing," Gavin said, bundled up in the heaviest clothes he could find and looking around in wonder. "Wow."

[tatooine_doofus]

"Isn't it great?" Luke enthused. "Make a snow angel!"

[sixstandingby]

"A snow what?" Gavin asked, head turned up towards the sky. "What's that?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"They're not going to fall on you," Luke said, laughing. Then he remembered where he was. "Presumably. You lay on the ground and move your arms and legs."

He hauled himself out of the snow. "And then you stand up and have an angel with a great big butt print and a hand next to him."

"This was the last thing I expected after the warm weather this week," John said, bending down and scooping up a fistful of snow. "But it should be diverting!"

[sixstandingby]

And there would be a handful of snow tossed at John's head.

[missed_the_gate]

Which would explain the snowy-haired John throwing a nicely packed snowball right back at Gavin's head.

[sixstandingby]

"Ow!" It hadn't hurt but he was melodramatic. "You could take an eye out like that!"

[moonbrain_tam]

A sneak snowball came flying through the air, dangerously close to Luke. If he was unlucky it might even hit him.

[tatooine_doofus]

It hovered a few inches in front of his face as he noticed it. "That wasn't very nice," he said with a grin.

[moonbrain_tam]

"Still, you're smiling." River giggled, then fell backwards into the snow, then made a snow angel.

[tatooine_doofus]

"I never, ever get tired of snow," he said, tossing a handful of snow over at her.

By the time that the afternoon had rolled around, the snow barricade that Adah had placidly began that morning had been significantly improved; she kept adding to it continuously without too much concern for the fact that her gloves were going to be frozen through and the fingers of her left hand would be as paralyzed as those on her right. Still, building up and up until, finally, a bit of giggling caught her attention enough to cause her to peek over the side.

She disappeared a moment. When she peeked back up again, there was basically a carefully aimed, but poorly thrown snowball heading Luke's way.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke saw who was throwing it, which is why it landed on his head with a squish. "Hey!" he said with a smile.

[ecirpnellehada]

It was a good thing that Adah was unaware that the source of the snowball was the reason it hit, and that it wasn't just because her practice all day had lead to her actually getting the hang of it. If she knew, he'd have an avalanche instead of a snowball. As it was, though, Adah smiled crookedly and waved her frozen hand at Luke with the most innocent expression she could muster.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke tossed a snowball back at her, then gave her an equally innocent smile.
