AINO
Seeing the snowball make its mark had the woman whooping with glee, smug as a bug. Unfortunately, she was not above celebrating even the small victories, and this was about to become her undoing. While she pirouetted in triumph, the damned kids took the opportunity to gather ammunition, and by the time Aino noticed their hungry eyes upon her, it was too late.
Sah's snowball was only the first. It was elegantly deflected by a raised arm - a shield in hand would have made it a clean save - but the five projectiles that followed after found their marks. One in the leg, one at her back, two in the chest, and the final one clocked her right on the side of the head.
With a groan like a dying Frost Giant, the former soldier pretended to teeter and stagger, arms dramatically splayed as she quite deliberately collapsed into a nearby pile of snow. The overexcited children took this as an invitation, and charged; the snowball fight was quickly turning into a wrestling match, and Aino was clearly outnumbered. "Yield! I yield!" she pleaded, reaching out a hand from beneath the ingratitude of children to beseech her sworn foe for aid.

For the good times that we share,
and the bad times that we'll have
and the bad times that we'll have
