[Eighteenth] - The Greatest Gift They'll Get This Year Is Life

[radiant_will]

[phone]All this snow is making think about how to get a workout this winter. I'm pretty sure there aren't any good places to ski or to skate, so those are out. I have an idea, though

[Whumph.]

H-Hey! Who threw that?! I'll give you a fight if you want one!

[radiant_will]

Sure!

[Here comes another one!]

[prodigious_mage]

Gaah!

[How dare you attack small child, Kallen! Wiping the faceful of snow away, Palom picks up as large an armful of snow as he can and flings it in the woman's general direction.

Predictably, it floats away harmlessly.]

[radiant_will]

[Kallen laughs, though not meanly.]

What was that?

[prodigious_mage]

. . .

T-That was just . . . a distraction! Take this!

[Palom flings another fistful of snow. Why is this not working. Why does it never snow around Mysidia. Curses. So Kallen will have a small child running towards her with an armful of snow to launch at close range.]

[radiant_will]

[Kallen still thinks this is hilarious.

She puts her arms up in a vaguely defensive stance and gives him a free shot.]

[prodigious_mage]

[As expected, Palom dumps as much of the snow on her as he can.]

Hah!

[radiant_will]

[She sets to brushing it off.]

Alright, you got me. Want to learn how to throw a snowball for real?

[prodigious_mage]

The great Palom doesn't need help on something like that, silly. I was doing it just fine.

[radiant_will]

…Do you really go around calling yourself "the great Palom?"

[prodigious_mage]

The great Palom takes offense at the surprise on your face.

[radiant_will]

So no one else you've talked to thinks it's weird?

[prodigious_mage]

It's not like I do it all the time or even most of the time. Just when people need to be reminded of it.

[radiant_will]

Uh-huh. So what makes you so great?

[prodigious_mage]

I'm the best snowball fighter in the world, for one thing.

[radiant_will]

That's a quick conclusion to jump to.
