Rating: F for fun!!

As an elfling, Legolas could often be found outside Thranduil‘s halls with other elflings and, of course, a group of armed elves just in case goblins or spiders came too near. That‘s not important though. What was important was what the elflings did: have snowball fights.

Legolas was very good at throwing snow and not always just with the other children. Anyone and everyone was a target. His aim with a bow was known to be superb among his people but there were few who didn‘t remember how exact he was with throwing snowballs. And now with how much snow had fallen outside the castle, it seemed that Legolas was drawn to behaving like a child. Dressed in his travel clothes and a cloak, a green one sadly rather than one that might blend in with the snow, he headed outside.

Sure, he was grown by the standards of elven culture but that didn‘t mean he couldn‘t have fun! Look at the parties his dad always threw in the forest.

With snow packed in front of him for defense and a small pile of snowballs ready, Legolas watched the doors of the castle. And when it opened--

If you just felt a snowball pelt you, it’s likely this elf that threw it.

He can't help but laugh but he covers it up as best he can by rubbing at his face, as though her were chilled. He really wasn't but how could he known?

"Perhaps. We elves can be quite sneaky when we wish to be."

"And I suppose there would be no reason to be entrenched in the snow, if the culprit were not somewhere behind it?" he answered with a tiny smirk.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

"No reason at all." Wait...

"I'm simply enjoying the weather." He's really not, and as he thoughtfully looks at the snowball he's tossing he smirks. Then tosses it. Yes, he's enjoying the weather.

Since Felix is terrible at dodging, it hits him on the shoulder.

"I believe you showed me how to play this game. More the pity for you," he said with a grin, and collected a ball of snow to throw. He's not quite prepared like Legolas is, though.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

"Have I? Well, I'd never be such a fool as to teach you all I know." He's a sneaky little elf and always has been. Legolas just can't seem to let go of his mischievous streak but he does reign it in most of the time. This is one such time that he doesn't and wouldn't.

As Felix bends down, Legolas ducks behind his snow bank and grabs another snowball before poking a hole through the snow to peek out.

[lord_wizard]

He bends up with his ball of snow to find the elf has more or less disappeared from view.

"This is hardly a fair fight," he said, frowning, and started to try and edge his way around to the other side of the embankment. Sadly, he can't walk on snow either.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Peeking his head out from behind the embankment, Legolas couldn't hold back a laugh and threw another. His position was given away with the laugh anyway, he might as well have thrown another ball of snow.

"You mistake me for one who would play fairly in this game."

[lord_wizard]

He manages to twist enough so the next volley hits on the back of the shoulder instead, stumbling a little at the impact.

"Well, if that's the name of the game..."

Felix grinned and leveled a look at Legolas' fort, muttering a few words under his breath. In the next moment, it started to melt away, and the wizard tossed the ball of snow. It wasn't a very impressive throw, but maybe he had surprise on his side.
