That was why he wasn't exactly surprised when he heard a voice coming from one of them. It was a muffled voice, so he didn't recognise it, but he thought it sounded like a girl.
"Hang tight, I can probably--"
He took a step back and used his powers to search for whatever was inside the snowman, and try to pull it out.
[ He's wearing this by the way! ]

At least she'd probably not be trapped in the snowman for long.
She felt the creature...if it was a creature...falling apart under Julian's powers, and a moment late she spilled out into a pile of snow and slid several feet, on her back, her arms out on either side as she looked up at the dark sky.
And then she just lay there for a moment, before she let out a little sigh. Damn it.

"You got some kind of knack for running into trouble, girl," he said. "You good? These things are all over. Nasty sons of bitches."

"I did not run into anything, it snuck up on me." She declared as she reached out to take his hand and stand, carefully brushing snow off her clothing. She turned to survey the remains of her attacker, considering the pile of snow.
"You don't leave much in your wake, do you?"

"That can't be comfortable."

"It's fine," she managed after a moment to settle her control. "I always spend my afternoon upside down in snow goons. It makes it easier to think."

It wasn't a mocking tone, more one of consideration as she circled the snowman for a moment. It wouldn't serve to be sucked in, too. It really wouldn't be great for her future gloats about being the best thief around when Shepard had to come melt them out.
"No one else stuck in there, is there?"

She shifted a bit in the snow man, barely moving at all, and frowned while Kasumi was out of sight. She couldn't help but be relieved when the other stepped back into view.
"If they are, I can't see them or hear them, which means they're probably dead. And I really hope I'm not sharing my think-snowman with a corpse."
