Well, I think they would have been more fun when they were little. xP Piggyback plz kthxbai.
SMACK.
It hit him in the back of the head, and he winced, whipping around. Nobody was visible. In the deep snow he saw tracks, and Seth followed them. As he turned around a tree, another snowball hit him smack in the face.
He groaned and put his own ball of slush and snow together, following the tracks still. After a few minutes of chasing – or being chased by, he couldn't tell—the snowball attacker, Seth finally noticed a grinning Eirika sitting on a tree branch. She was looking the other way, and she tossed a snowball up and down in her hand. He heard her murmur, "When IS he going to come this way?"
Seth thought for a moment. Would he or wouldn't he? Nobody else would know. And Princess Eirika wouldn't be displeased; in fact, she'd probably be happy with him for some reason. So, before he thought too hard about it, Seth lobbed the snowball at his princess.
She shrieked, laughing, and fell the five or so feet into the snow. Eirika shook her hair out and looked up at the cavalier. "Hi, Seth! I gotcha, right?"
He picked up the young girl and said jokingly, "You certainly did. Princess Eirika, you've missed your archery lesson already. Isn't it time to come home now?"
"Okay," she replied amiably, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Can I have a piggyback?"
Seth lay back against the tree and smiled. He closed his eyes, remembering, while Eirika patted down a snowball.
