Outside the dorms - Wednesday late afternoon and evening

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara was not in quite as good a mood as yesterday due to certain evil teachers.  So she decided not to wait any longer to go build snowman or men or people.  Many, many snow people and maybe a snow turtleseal while she was at it.  And the nice thing about waterbending meant that any ice patches weren't going to bother her for long.

Not finding it cold at all, she had her coat unbuttoned and flapping in the wind as she worked.

[OOC: Post open for snowman building or snowball throwing or any snow activity you desire not dirty omg]

"Excellent for a very first attempt at snow playing," she said. Katara paused for a second, struck by something. "You don't know how to ice skate either, do you?" she asked, aghast.

Luke shook his head. "Sorry."

"That's okay," she said thoughtfully. "I could teach you if you like! It's so much fun. Even better than snow."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke's eyes widened. "There's something better than this?" he asked, scooping up a handful of snow and tossing it at her.

And yes, he totally believed himself to be the first one ever to come up with this idea.

Katara giggled and turned so she was hit on the shoulder before ducking down to pack a quick snowball and throw it back at him.

"Yep. This isn't even a lot of snow."

Luke ducked as well, though his footing wasn't exactly secure.

"It's not?" he asked. "But everything's all white!"

"Yeah, but it piles up too," Katara said. "At home, we build igloos out of the ice to live in. You can tunnel under it too. And build forts."

She happened to find herself with another handful of snow somehow. So she threw it at him.

"You can live in it?" Luke blinked. "I thought that was just because the Alliance was desperate on Hoth."

He tried to duck the handful of snow and lost his footing. He landed in the snow with an "oomph," then burst out giggling.

"Well, we live on the South Pole. There's ONLY ice and snow to live in really," Katara said. "Is that how it is on Hoth?"

Giggling, she watched Luke fall down. And then ran over to try to pile snow on him. Cause she was nice like that.

"Hoth is a giant ball of ice," Luke said, trying to wriggle out of the way of the snow Katara was dumping on him.

But not too hard. The experience was still novel enough to be fun.

She stopped with the snow and, still giggling, offered him a hand up. "So is the South Pole," she said.

Luke took the hand gratefully, then shook the snow from his hair.

It caught in his eyelashes.

"Sounds...very different than what I'm used to," he said diplomatically.
