Neville was somehow not surprised that the snowball that hit him smack between the shoulderblades had come from Yuffie. At least she wasn't hurling herself at people this time. While he wished he still had his magic so that he could hurl a barrage of snowballs back at her, he did at least still know how to make them by hand and sent one back in her direction that way, though she was stealthy and he wasn't sure he hit.
When one skimmed her arm, it only made her shriek with delight, climbing up into the tree for better cover. The ability to make snowballs there was almost non-existent but it was made up for by shaking the branch to make the snow fall off the leaves.
"Surrender now and I won't harm the women and children!"
"I haven't got any women or children," said Neville, who was perhaps more familiar than expected in the tactics of war. He aimed another snowball into the tree, though the angle was more difficult this time and it shattered against the trunk.
If she were being crass, Yuffie might have had a different answer for him. Mentally, she just locked the possibilities for comebacks away to lob at Cloud or Lee. It was different when you weren't planning strategy around possibly doing someone.
"I think I'm the one who's got your cornered anyhow," said Neville, leaning down to pack another snowball in his mittened hands. "It's you who should surrender!"
"Up in a tree is not cornered," she said incredulously, and to prove her point, took a ninja-esque leap to the next tree branch. "This is one of the greatest ways to travel."
"I think I'll stick to the ground if it's all the same to you," said Neville, taking aim again. "It'll always be faster than moving through the trees!"
"Magic users," she sighed, ignoring her own attachment to certain tiny round spheres of shiny mana. "I'd feel bad kicking your ass." With that, Yuffie flipped neatly to the ground.

"I didn't say they were yours," Yuffie called.

"If I had my magic," he said, "I'd certainly be winning."
