Snow is fun, even for California girls. For one thing, Lilly never got to see it much in life, except for the occasional ski trips or travel abroad. Which sucks, cause there's so much fun you can have with snow. Snowmen, snow angels....
Lilly is many things. Stealthy snowball assassin is not one of them, and while Jayne may not be the brightest star in the black, he's also not that much of a dumbass.
One more snowball goes flying in his direction before Lilly darts toward a more protective-looking clump of trees.
Lilly freezes in her tracks at the sound of the gunshot before whirling around, trying to glare while also trying not to crack up. Jayne shot the snowball.
Of course he did.
"Damn. Someone sure knows how to kill the wholesome winter fun. And, apparently, snowballs. That must be why Mal keeps you around. I mean, you just never know when a horde of rampaging snowballs is going to attack the ship."
...snowballs.
Like the one hurtling itself at Jayne's hat.

"Gorram it!"
Jayne whirls around, and instantly receives another snowball in the face.

Shouldn't wear orange in a blizzard if you don't want to be a target.

Still, he scoops up some snow and waits for the next assault.

Still, it's Milliways, so giggling trees are not exactly impossible. Giggling trees that sprout pink-gloved hands are somewhat more unlikely.

Have to be a dumbass not to know who's on the attack.

"Shit!"
He draws his gun and shoots it out of the air.

"Well. It was fast!"

Lilly sighs exaggeratedly.
"If I made a snow angel, you'd probably shoot it too, wouldn't you? For like, lying in wait or something."

"Now, girlie, you know I know better than to shoot at any sort of angel in this place. Liable to get myself incinerated."

She grins up at him.
"Good to know there are some situations where whipping out your gun isn't your first response."

She does, too, which might explain the solemn look.
"Jaynie."
Or it could have been just a cover. You know. Whatever.

He has big feet.
