Otter had been pelted with snowballs from his pair of adversaries. He put up a good fight but he only had so many arms and there was two of them. Their aim wasn't that great, but they got lucky. When they'd realized they weren't going to be winning any time soon they had decided to play dirty. The boy ran at him first and dove for his legs. The girl ran at him a moment after and launched herself at Otter. She got pretty good height on that considering her height and all the snow she'd had to wade through to get to him. Otter was down for the count, flat on his back.
He was busy laughing as the two kids climbed all over him and dumped more snow on top of him as part of their victory. Then he got hit by another snowball right on the head. "Hey!" His eyes rolled up as his head went back so he could see who his assailant was. "No fair! No honor in hitting a downed man!" Now that there was a person who was standing in view his captors immediately sped off toward Nova, angling to take her down just as they'd taken down Otter.
Rolling over and sputtering out snow that fell into his mouth, Otter started to make a few snowballs again. It was only a matter of time before someone else charged him. Or until Nova was back on her feet and looking to come after him.
