STATUS: Complete

After showing Mercy around, she'd had a little bit of a run in with someone over the journals. But Tonks was nothing if not resilent, and she didn't let him hurt her feelings for long. Instead, she decided that exactly what she needed was some physical exercise. So she changed into some warmer clothing, swapping her normal t-shirt for a thick sweater, and then, she was off.

There were people there already, so Tonks picked a fort nearly at random and crouched behind it. The witch then spent quite a few moments simply packing snow into snowballs, but now she was ready. She had quite a pile to work with. Showing that she wasn't always clumsy, she clambered to the top of her chosen fort and cupped her hands around her mouth so her voice would project further. Of course, she could use magic, but that seemed like cheating somehow.

"Hey, guys! Let's get this going on!" As usual, her voice was full of good cheer and high spirits. And she immediately had to duck down as people from both sides flung snowballs at her. She had been a bit of an idiot, making herself such an easy target and then taunting everyone. Her uncharacteristic nimbleness went away very quickly under the rain of snowballs, and she half-fell half-slid back to her pile of snowballs. It was turning into a pretty fun fight, she thought. She was having a good time.

Astor peeked back up over the edge of the snow fort after having ducked behind to hide from the onslaught of snowballs coming from another fort, rapid-fire. When she turned to look, Mercy had gone. Looking back at Faith, she furrowed her brow a bit with confusion. "Astor," she repeated. Maybe Faith just hadn't heard her the first time, she thought, especially with all the commotion outside the fort.

It occurred to Astor that she'd been out in the snow for a long while and she could feel the snow melting into her clothes, sending a shiver down her spine. The cold air mixing with it was making her really cold. Mom might not be here, but she'd definitely be calling Astor inside, by now...

"Thanks for letting me play," she said with a grateful smile to Faith. "I didn't see the other girl go, but if you see her, tell her I said thanks, too, okay?" she asked, standing and brushing off her bottom. She let out an angry shout when an unexpected snowball hit her in the back of the head, raining cold and frozen bits of water down her back. "I gotta go inside, I'm freezing my butt off!" she announced.

With that, she hurried away from the forts, ducking and dodging snowballs to the best of her ability, only managing to be successful a few times. By the time she got back to the dormitories, she was drenched and her teeth were chattering, but she really wanted some of that hot cocoa that Sidney had gotten for her when she'd first gotten to Mirage. So, she headed up to her room, changed into dry clothes, and decided she'd head down to the cafe to get some. Maybe if, by the time she was warmed up, the grown ups were still playing and didn't mind, she'd join back in, but for now, she just needed to stay warm and toasty.
