Title: Snowballs
Prompt: Snowmen
The snow was thick and deep. Even the Mord'Sith pulled velvet cloaks over their leathers. Their sturdy boots and gloves were welcome protection from the cold.
"Let's have some fun," Dahlia suggested mischievously. She bent down and began gathering up the snow into a pile.
"Snow balls," Denna said, affecting boredom.
"No."
Denna, Trianna, and Cara watched as Dahlia patted the snow into an oval shape and added more snow to it, building it up. Cara nodded and went to help. Trianna shook her head.
"You're doing it wrong." She began to make her own heap of snow and, in a moment of competitiveness against Cara and Dahlia, Denna went to help her.
Soon, two snowy figures were completed. Dahlia had draped her cloak about their figure, which had branches for arms, a pine cone for a nose, and stones for eyes. Denna and Trianna had used their agiels to melt deep eye sockets in the head of their snow person, and used bits of a fir tree to give it green hair. The mouth was a line of holly berries.
Cara rubbed her gloves together, dislodging the snow from them, and put one arm around a shivering Dahlia.
"They're very nice snowmen," she said.
"Why are they snowmen?" Trianna asked.
"We could make made snow Mord'Sith, with icicle agiels," Dahlia said.
"Yes, we could, but these are snowmen," Denna said, making a few adjustments to the figures and displaying her artistry with a grin. "As I said. Snow balls."
