Has anyone else been dragged into a snowball fight against their will? As much as I hate to admit it, my cousin has rather impressive aim. Now if only he applied such dedication to anything else in his life. [gone] I lost rather badly to him.

[Filter: Adelle Vaux]Mother wants to see me about something. I won't be back until sometime after supper,

[offendscourtesy]

Never against my will. Though I may have dragged others into one against theirs.

[gardefaux]

You're a cruel man, then, Owen.

[offendscourtesy]

Nonsense. Once the first ball is thrown, one is bound by honour to accept the challenge.

[gardefaux]

So, by that logic, you're challenging them to a snow duel, not a fight.

[sunsinge]

I got rather soundly beaten by Stark a few days ago. I say it's cheating if the balls are mostly ice. I've got bruises everywhere.

[gardefaux]

He threw ice at you?

[sunsinge]

More or less. There were frozen bits inside the snow.

Horrible things our Guard get up to.

[gardefaux]

I suppose one could make the case that he was purposely trying to hurt you...

[innocencefaux]

Perhaps if you were better at archery, you would have stood a chance~

[Filter: Laurent Vaux]

I'll tell them. [pause] What do you think she wants to see you about?

[gardefaux]

I doubt it, but it's sweet of you to say so. He has a good arm.

[Filter: Adelle Vaux]

I'd wager you a new piece of jewelry that it involves the marriage discussion again. I'd even be willing to add that she's certain she's found me "the one".

[innocencefaux]

What of your evasive maneuvers? I would've thought you'd be quick enough to dodge, cousin~

[Filter: Laurent Vaux]

It can be an entire family affair. [quickly struck out] That's a wager I won't take because I'd guess that, too. Though, I wouldn't know about "the one." Unless she meant the one most beneficial for the family.

[gardefaux]

I thought so, too. Apparently, I'm out of practice.

[Filter: Adelle Vaux]

She remains hopeful that she'll introduce me to someone who I won't immediately tell her to send off. I don't think she quite gets that I would prefer someone intelligent.

[hauntedstrings]

Oh! It's much better to be dragged! That way when you miss and hit the wrong person, there's someone to blame. ♥

[gardefaux]

I suppose that's true! I never thought of it like that.

[hauntedstrings]

All the fun with none of the responsibility!

Oh, but I suppose Steven has little time for it now.

[gardefaux]

Perhaps you can convince him to join you. If Valentin could draw me into one, I'm certain you could do the same.

[myheartshouldbe]

[longish pause as she reads but still does not understand]

What's a snow fight?

[gardefaux]

You've never participated in one? You pack the snow into balls and then you throw them at the other person.

[myheartshouldbe]

No. I haven't.

I think I've seen one.

Are they fun?

[gardefaux]

They can be. My cousin really should have asked, though. Getting struck in the back with a snowball is a bit disorienting.
