*There was the noise of some kind of muffled laughing coming from where Nicolas had his face buried in the snow. When he flipped himself over, he had to clutch his stomach from laughing so hard--he wasn't hurt at all. A grin spread over his whole laughing face and he found it absolutely impossible to cease.*
"T-the l-look on your f-f-face, Iris-s-s..." *He promptly descended into laughter again.*

*Iris sat in the snow for a minute, watching Nicolas’ mirth with an expressionless gaze. She waited for the laughter to die down a bit before quietly asking,*
“Are you alright now, Nicolas? You’re not harmed in any way?”

*He just laughed again, because she hadn't gotten it yet.*

“I’ll take that as a ‘Yes,’” *Iris said with a small smile and she turned around briefly. When she turned back to face Nicolas, an even wider smile graced her face.*
“Well. If that’s the case, I’ll feel no guilt when I do -” *She leapt forward with a sudden ferocity and a fistful of snow.*
“- THIS!” *She cried as she ground the snow into his face.*

"AAAGH" *The cold bit his face and the force of her knocked him back. Instinctively he wiped the snow from his face and rolled her over so that he was in control, with her trapped beneath him.*
"Now was that entirely necessary?"
*What he hadn't realized was that the length of his body was pressed to hers, and their faces were just inches apart.*

*Iris had not realized their state either. She was far too busy striking whatever part of Nicolas she could reach with her small fists.*
"Yes, it was very necessary, you brute! You went too far; I thought you were really hurt!"

*He grabbed her wrists in one hand, only chuckling softly now.*
"I didn't mean to scare you that badly."
*And then, as he'd stopped the barrage of ineffectual but bothersome blows, he realized the state they were in, but made no comment.*

*Iris twisted uselessly under him.* “You’re so heavy! It isn’t fair!”
*Her breathing and thrashing slowed when she looked him directly in the eye. A barely noticeable blush spread across her already red face.*
“Are you planning on getting off of me anytime soon?”

*He rolled off of her immediately, himself turning a little pinker.*

*Iris ran a hand through her hair, which was now soaking with snow. In fact, the majority of her body was soaking with snow, and as a result, she began to shiver.*

"Do you want to go back? There'll be more powder in the morning, and it'll be warmer." *He said softly, the silence like a blanket around them as the snow fell.*

“It is rather late.” *Iris said through chattering teeth.*

*He extended a hand to help her up.*
"If we head back now we can catch Rose and ask her to make some cocoa. She's always in bed late."

*She accepted it gratefully.*
"She really shouldn't be up on her feet all the time, with a baby on the way."

"Well the pregnant part is news to me too, of course, but you can't stop Rose from doing precisely what she wants to, and she hates feeling useless."
*He led her back, taking the sled as well. The snow fell in silence around them.*
