Still, she thought it was kind of sweet for him to offer. She nodded vaguely at the mention of another hat as she tugged down her hat further and pulled up on her scarf so that only her eyes were visible.

Then finally, she looked down at her hand as Nathaniel grabbed it and nodded vigorously. The were finally getting out of this horrid weather. "Yeah, how about..." her muffled voice started to choose the shop closest to them because she honestly did not care which warm haven they stepped into when she felt a snowball smack her squarely in the face. Thankfully her scarf and hat covered her face enough that she hardly felt the bitter sting of frost against her skin, but she hardly saw that as the point. Stunned, she stood still for a moment before turning on the spot, eyes searching in annoyance for the cause of the snow in her face.

Certain she found the source, as the boy looked plenty guilty enough to her, Mariel grabbed two handfuls of snow from the ground and pushed them together to form one large snowball. "Now you're going to be sorry!" her muffled voice yelled as she pummeled the snowball towards him as she would a quaffle to the goals.

He'd not worn a scarf today. They weren't for him. He'd have to show her the other hat later. She'd probably not find it funny at all.

Just then a snowball hit Mariel in the face. Nate was pretty sure it was Torin or Jack.. since he'd watched them throwing at each other earlier. Nathaniel watched as Mariel was gathering snow. He was sure it glad that he'd not been the one to hurt her. He sure as hell wasn't going to stand there and not step up and defend his girl frannn. "What the hell Torin?" he shouted at the boy as he started making a snowball for retaliation.
