Snowball fight -- party post!
Contrary to popular belief, there is snow in the higher mountains of Greece and Asia Minor in winter.
When Antinoos came in from sweltering Thebes tonight and found snow outside, he got himself warm clothes like a Greek hunter or Roman soldier in winter would wear, and ran right outside. He had missed snow!
Now he's out there, enjoying the snow and the cold, and acting, for once, exactly as young as he is. After a while, he finds that he can't resist the idea of surprising some poor unfortunate (he's outside, so it's no violence, right), and when a somewhat small and scruffy fellow comes outside, he gets a soft, large snowball right in the face, from a safe position twenty yards away, in the bushes.
Ned Poins, however, is well versed with ambushes, so he spots soon where the attack came from, and gathers snow to retaliate, running towards the shrubbery -- and so, the battle is joined, and soon, there is a big white-and-brown dog yelping excitedly, and a big, blond Scotsman grinning widely and waiting to decide which side to take.
However, when you come outside today, you might get caught in the crossfire; or perhaps you'd like to join the battle just for the fun of it?
[[OOC: Party post -- tag in, then splat somebody else! Have at! Open until the weekend ends. Snowball fight as per this post.]]
[[ETA: Gone to bed now -- please threadhop and have the snowball fight among yourselves! Thanks!]]

"Ow," she chuckles, leaning her head back against the door. "M'fine. Nothin's hurt but my pride, y'quick bastard."
The affection in her eyes is like sunlight bursting from a cloud. She's rosy-faced and resplendent, smiling with wild abandon.

A beat.
"--Actually, though, I just wanna take a hot bath with you really bad."
His grin is crooked, his windblown hair hangs in his eyes as he leans over her. As he catches his breath, it falls warm and heavy on her cheeks. Leaning in closer, he presses his lips to hers in an almost chaste kiss. And when their mouths part, he still can't help grinning.

"Well."
Her voice is a husky whisper, numb nose bumping his, leaving little paths of condensation along cold skin. She presses her palms flat against his chest, rubbing gentle circles. She knocks Dug's button with the side of her boot.
The door cracks open behind them.
"I guess y'better get on in here, an' lemme give you your present."
She tugs him through, and the door clicks shut on their laughter.
