N: BE sighed as he shrugged, "Fine, there's no harm in taking a break," as he followed Mandoria out of the dining hall.

As they walked, they heard some laughter outside, and when they peered out of the window, they watched as Johann and Wolfgang were in a snowball fight against Erna and Gwyn, and whenever they threw a ball, Alcis would try and catch it. Heinrich stood to the sides, acting as the referee. All of them were covered from head to toe, their coats and hats contrasting the white landscape.

The empire smiled, "Well, it seems like they're having fun, and the cadet has been warmly welcomed," he turned to face the Mandorian and joked, "I would ask you to join but I don't know if you could tolerate the cold."


M: Mandoria chuckled as he watched the children play, it reminded him so much of all three of his sons having snowball fights back home, hot chocolate and cuddles usually followed after.

"I can tolerate it quite well actually," he informed, "my wings are so large and fluffy that that I can regulate my body heat quite well."

He looked back to the group and noticed that Rowen and Maria were nearby with Sofia, who clearly had never seen snow before in her life, and loved it.

"I would join, only if the great British Empire would allow himself to play a little kids' game with me."


N: "Please," BE smirked, "I live in a household with both my parents and grandparents. I am still regarded as a child, so how could I possibly turn down such an invitation? Besides, good luck trying to beat me, Ireland was ruthless when it came to snowball fights, so you better watch out."

With that, they went to their respective rooms to find outerwear for the weather. BE was even able to drag Ireland out, who had stayed for the last couple of months, and once they were done, they met outside next to Rowen and Maria.

The Saxon was showing Sofia the wonders of snow, showing her how to make a mini snowman, and even got some pebbles for eyes and a carrot for a nose. "Look at you, Sofia," she cheered as she helped her form the first large snowball for the snowman, "you're doing great."


M: Sofia gurgled happily as she rolled the little snowball, despite being half reptile, the cold didn't slow her down in the slightest, she especially loved to eat the snowballs she would make.  Rowen helped lift her up to place the higher snowballs until the snowman was finally done.

Meanwhile, Mandoria was taking a moment to enjoy the crisp winter air, truthfully this was his favorite season, there was something about the snow that made him feel at peace.

That peace was eventually shattered as he formed his own snowball and threw it at his son's back to surprise him.


N: Johann jumped in surprise, turning around to see where the ball came from, and just as he realized it came from Mandoria, another snowball hit the side of his face.

"Remember: no aiming for the head," Heinrich spoke loudly, glancing over to Gwyn who had her hands over her mouth in shock.

"Sorry," she apologized, "I didn't mean to."

"But it was totally worth it," Erna laughed, high-fiving the Welsh to show her support.

However, the Mandorian was more focused on forming another ball and a mischievous grin on his face. "Bist du dabei? (Want to join)," he turned to Wolfgang, who quickly understood what he was going to do, and he smiled and nodded, so Johann turned to his father and threw a ball right at him.

"YOU HAVE DECLARED WAR, OLD MAN!"


M: Mandoria reacted quickly and shielded himself with his wings, returning fire as he paired up with BE. Rowen laughed as he watched the grown-up children play together, he decided to leave Sofia with Maria and grab everyone else, what better thing to do than have a good family snowball fight?
