[If Gelda happens to glance back at the snowmen she's already made, she might notice that some of them now have what look to be small dogs or cats standing beside them, maybe even a couple of rabbits with leaves for ears.
Gelda isn't the only adult out playing in the snow today. Just seeing her so happy is making Regal feel more playful as well, and... well. Snowmen. Does there really need to be another excuse?]
[Gelda was rather absorbed in getting her latest snowman just the right size of head, so it takes a while before she properly looks up again. ... And suddenly her snowmen have pets. Either Luceti has some sort of magical effect on snowmen, or someone's being a bit mischievous.
She glances around, trying to find the culprit. It doesn't take her too long to spot him, either.]
[Yeah, Regal doesn't exactly stand much of a chance of hiding behind the snowmen when he's the size he is-- not that he really wants to hide, either. He's having fun with this.
Just hope he doesn't decide to add snowballs to the mix as well.]
I couldn't help but notice that some of them looked lonely all by themselves.
[Regal would certainly not object if things were to go that way, though he likely would hold back just a bit because he knows quite well just how hard he can throw those snowballs without really even trying.]
I would still consider myself something of an amateur, but they do say that practice makes perfect. You've certainly given me more than enough opportunities here.
[He smiles.]
If I didn't know better, I would say you were enjoying yourself.
[It's very hard to shape a lump of snow into a snowball with one hand, as Regal is learning now. This may end up being more of an awkward-shaped lump of snow than anything else.
But he'll be offering his free hand to her as innocently as possible-- ignoring the mischievous twinkle in his eye, that is.]
[Goodness, that's an awfully suspicious offer. Gelda pauses for a moment, before reaching out to take Regal's hand anyway. She'll just have to welcome the no-doubt impending shenanigans. It's no fun playing in the snow if there aren't any 'victims', after all.]
[Taking her hand is a perfectly innocent gesture. So is the moving to rest his other hand on her shoulder... except for the fact that it's not going for her shoulder and there's a rather large lump of snow in it that's about to be stuffed down the back of her coat since it wouldn't make a very good snowball anyway.

[While she saw the move coming, Gelda wasn't fast enough to avoid the hand of snow that's soon dumped down her back. The sound she utters is something between a squeak and a fit of laugher, as she tries to move away from Regal in reflex. She'll have to get that coat off as soon as possible, because... cold cold cold!]

[Regal will let her pull away, laughing quietly-- because he knows her well enough to be expecting some sort of retaliation in just a moment, and that's half the fun of a snowball fight anyway. Okay, so maybe "stuffing snow down someone's coat" isn't exactly a snowball fight, but it's the thought that counts, right?]

[Once Gelda's free of her coat and the cold mass that was slowly sliding down her back, she will indeed retaliate immediately. Snow is scooped into both hands and pressed together into something that doesn't quite resemble a ball. It doesn't need to be round, as long as it can be used as a projectile.
Heads up, Regal! It's whizzing towards your face!]

[... okay, so a snowball right to the face isn't quite what he had in mind, but he manages to duck just enough so it hits his shoulder instead-- and in doing so, he leans down to scoop up another (large) handful of snow as well. But this also means that he's wide open while he's making Snowball #2...]
[Gelda also needs a bit of time to create a second snowball. This one gets a bit more effort and is actually round, but when she tosses it, it's very likely to miss. Or just hit Regal in the side, if he honestly can't avoid it.]
Gelda isn't the only adult out playing in the snow today. Just seeing her so happy is making Regal feel more playful as well, and... well. Snowmen. Does there really need to be another excuse?]

Then, it's a good thing you're an expert snow sculptor. Now they'll have the company of their favorite frosty pets.

Though, I wouldn't mind taking a break for some hot cocoa by the fireplace.

[He moves to stand as well... and he might just be surreptitiously scooping up a handful of snow as he does so.]

That sounds perfect.
