"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!"
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.
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.

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