the harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
The world goes a startling white, and although Amhran has engaged in a few snowball fights in his time, he's never realised quite how heavy the stuff can be when it slides off a roof and directly onto your head. Still flailing a little to try and swipe the snow away from his face (his nose and mouth specifically), the first words he hears are understandably muffled, and its through soil soft eyes speckled with frost on the brows and lashes that he's finally ably to pinpoint his rescuer.
"Whoa-- thank you," Amhran all but splutters, grasping the offered hand in his own and fighting to haul himself out of the impromptu drift. A few other passer-bys have stopped to take a look, but upon seeing that there are no immediate injuries - and that assistance is being given already - they soon head on their way. On his feet again at last and trying to shake the snow from his hair, Amhran tugs off his hat to dust it off as well and offers his new hero a predictably sheepish smile.
"I did not expect that to happen," he says, perhaps a little obviously. "I'm glad you were here to help!" And that he is evidently equipped with snow shovelling skills. "My name is Amhran," he adds, like a child remembering his manners, sticking out a hand to shake.
