If that was the case, he'd probably have no trouble swatting a snowball away from him.
"Oh, my buttons?" she repeated and laughed. She playfully shook her head at his choice of words. Then he mentioned how complicated her family seemed, and it caused her smile to fade just a little. "It can be, but only when my mother gets involved," she explained. "When it's just the three of us," ... "my father, his girlfriend, and I, things are lot easier. If only it was always that way..."
She pushed her snow onto the part Eino was already building. "So what color will the scarf and hat be?" she asked. Of course it should be green and silver, but...would Eino go for that? She normally wasn't very giving, but she supposed she could deal with a green and blue combination.
As they finished building the second snowball, for the snowman's middle, Eino began smoothing it out before moving onto the final ball, for its head. As he did, he listened to Sierra. Of course, he was more interested in her than the snowman, he just wanted to look busy and not be caught staring at her
drooling. Eino could relate to Sierra's story. In his family, his biological father was the trouble. He was rather happy with just his mother and his adoptive father, although he never referred or thought of him as adoptive but
the real one. Still, he wasn't ready to share that, but he wanted to. He really did. He sighed heavily as he finished the last snowball and placed it on top of the two other.
"Hmmm, perhaps teal? We ought to give him a cape, and a pointy hat, too." He suggested. It was supposed to be a snow-wizard, right? It was going to have wand too, so maybe they could add something to make it look like it was casting a spell.
