Well. It's kind of quiet. In a good way, obviously, since no one's dying and there's no life threatening situations. But...

Every now and again Allen felt the need to get out of the library, dragging Lavi in tow for his own good, and take a walk over to the eerie, empty residences where they could bathe and sleep on real beds. The trip back and forth was freezing, trudging through the city covered in snow (and he hated snow) but it was at the least very pretty, very serene, and felt much better than huddling in a public space for days on end.

That was when the snowball hit him in the back of the head, and he toppled into a snowbank.

[indeed]

[wtbindifference]

At first, Lavi wasn't quite sure what had happened: one moment Allen was standing in front of him, walking with his stiff, not-enjoying-the-cold-but-trying-not-to-be-too-obvious-about-it gait -- the next, he was just... gone from Lavi's field of vision.

He blinked twice and then finally looked down, to see... Allen, flat on his face, half hidden by the snow.

And began to laugh.

[SORRY GUYS]

[existenta]

He actually hadn't been expecting to hit anyone when he threw the snowball so when he saw that it not only smashed into Allen's head successfully, but went as far to topple him into the snow, the sound that escaped him was caught between a yelp and a burst of laughter.

He lessened the distance between him and the other two, stopping however with still enough distance so that he needed to raise his voice over towards them. "Sorry! You were supposed to duck!"

Really, that's what he'd yelled for in the first place! He'd been trying to get their attention and it had most certainly not been in hopes of clobbering them in the face with the snowball, instead.

Allen pulled himself up out of the snow, and rubbed fervently at what was left of it, melting on his face and seeping under his scarf. If he weren't already so cold, this would probably be considerably more annoying. He blearily staggered back up to his feet and glanced up at the man trotting over to them.

"It's okay," he managed. "I didn't think you were talking to. Me." Us. but obviously Lavi found the situation funny. That could've been an akuma, he thought crossly, and lashed out with his left arm to grab Lavi's coat and toss him into the snowbank in his place. He mustered a bright smile for the newcomer.

HELLO DARLEENG.

[absterged]

It is, isn't it?

A chance to conserve one's energy. You were in the group that dealt with the reparation, weren't you?

LMF oh no. --I mean, hello 8,)

[existenta]

Conserve energy? I guesso. Or do something fun. But everyone's pretty serious business here...

Yeah! I was.

Uwehehehe. c:

[absterged]

Are they? ... I suppose it's a product of the problems we've been facing, but there's no harm in keeping yourself entertained.

I see. Thank you for your hard work.

[existenta]

I guess I've just been here so long I can't take it seriously all the time any more or I'll go crazy.

You shouldn't thank me! I don't really remember what happened, but it was definitely something we all benefited from. Anyone would have done it; I'm sure more people would have helped if the could have, too.

Not necessarily. But can be kind of boring.
