Snow wars

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

Who: Legolas and anyone really
What: Snowball fights and the maturity level of elves
When: Anytime there’s still snow
Where: Right outside the castle!
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.

Her grin widened as she finished packing her snowball and dropped her bag on a dry-ish looking bench.

"I don't know but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try."

With a wink she whips the snowball in his direction and dives out of the way, scooping up more snow as she runs. She might not be an elf but she's pretty fast for a human who spends most of her time hunched over a notebook.

"Wonderful! I hope you won't disappoint me!"

She wouldn't, this was just for fun after all. And it was hard, nearly impossible, to disappoint the young prince. As her snowball struck him, he wasn't making an effort to avoid it as he walked over the snow to another drift, he tossed another over her head before packing more into another snowball.

She yelped and laughed as the snowball flew over her head, ducking for cover. She watched him as she finished packing her own snowball, lobbing it on his direction as soon as it was done.

Legolas threw himself to the ground to avoid it, adding yet more snow to what he already had for a snowball, grin turning devious before pulling himself to his feet and throwing it right back at her.

The snowball connected and she shrieked with laughter. She brushed the snow off before pressing more snow into a ball, scooting along the ground to hide behind a tree. She packed the ball tighter, peeking around and waiting for her opening.

Legolas already had another snowball in hand and ready, walking quietly over the snow with a smirk on his lips and heading towards her as though completely open. He could take a few snowballs to get a few in.

Wait... how the hell was he walking over the snow?! Was he like a ninja or something?

She'd think about that later. First things first - he was coming towards her and she didn't really have anywhere to go. Cursing under her breath she whips her snowball at him, hastily scraping another one together and throwing that one, too.

Nope, just an elf. A talented one. Quickly he jumped to the side to avoid the snowball and threw his own. Following her lead right after and scooping up more snow but snowing it quickly, before she threw her next.

The snowballs came too quickly for her to be able to dodge them. She yelped as one caught her in the shoulder, trying to scramble out of the way before the other hit her in the back. She slipped, stumbling in the loose snow and falling forward. She attempted to use it to her advantage, however, by scooping together a quick snowball with the hopes that he'd come closer so she could get a better shot.
