There's a brief moment where Ronin is worried he's thrown the mega-snowball too hard, or that it's hit Tal's fort in such a way that the collapse will bury the courier alive. And in the silence that follows that worry only grows - enough that he's straightened up from his hiding place behind the wall. "Tal?" he calls, his brows furrowing.
But then of course, it's for Haloooooooo! and gods, the other man can move quickly when he wants to. Ronin tries to duck away but ends up moving too fast, and the resulting slip 'n' slide on some ice is the stuff of legends. It's more carnival than acrobatic, more slapstick than grace, and one of Tal's snowballs misses him only because he's already on the ground.
"Oof!" he calls out, his hands coming up to shield his face. "I surrender, I surrender!"
