“It’s what I grew up with, and it’s what I’m used to. So… yes, this cold can be off-putting, especially if you live in a very warm place like Lavaridge,” he mentioned.

Oh, he wondered how the hot springs there were faring at the moment. Surely they hadn’t frozen over just because of the strange weather phenomena sweeping through the place.

“However, I live in Verdanturf… so I can imagine how off-putting the cold is for everyone growing flowers there. Funnily enough the flowers I planted seem to like this cold weather. Normally tulips don’t survive in very hot places, but Verdanturf has this right balance of mild weather while being so close to Mount Chimney.”

It was at this point he decided to suggest something.

“Do you… do you want to go visit the hot springs? It should be good for this freezing weather,” he mused. The question now being, how crowded was the place going to be if they decided to go there right this moment?

Evan didn't often go to places like the hotsprings. Usually there were too many people and in truth he wasn't the most welcome in crowds. He was rather used to people thinking oddly of him.

He mulls over the idea. "I think I'd enjoy that." he says. At least a little bit. Though with the weather he thinks perhaps that is a trip better spent on another time. When things calm down, for all they knew the place wasn't even open at the moment due to the weather. he hadn't exactly been one to check.

"Maybe later, next year some time I will." it doesn't don on him that lars might just mean visiting it together.

“Next year? Are you serious? Lars remarked, taking the opportunity to stop walking for a few moments before looking over at Evan.

“That’s way too far!” he added a few moments later, and for a few seconds this look of utter disbelief flashes on his face before it’s gone. “Can’t it be a little closer sometime this year?” he attempted to bargain.

Wait, what? What was he doing? Was he… was he seriously… bargaining?!

What are you doing, what are you doing?! His mind screamed at him as he took a few moments to realize just what the hell he had said. He then felt his ears light up again with blush—thank the hell he wasn’t a serial blusher who gave things away directly on the cheeks!

“Just—just you then? Without… without me? he managed to stammer a few moments later.

"Hm?" Evan turns to him. The blank look shows he wasn't quite aware at all.

"Oh. You meant.. together."

He looks away out in front of the two of them for a moment, following the path of the park. He has to take a moment to think about it, there's a want to say yes, an instinctual need to run before this sucks him in too strongly. After a moment he lets go of Lars' hand and jogs out in front of him. He's silent the entire way.

Evan bends down to scoop up a handful of snow, patting it down with fingers that will soon be ice cold, It'll be worth it, he thinks, as he turns around and without hesitation throws the snowball at Laurence Anderson.

"Only if you can beat me in a snowball fight."

And without a second thought he's off making another snowball.

“What?!” was all he could exclaim for the moment.

That shouldn’t be so difficult… right? He thought to himself before he noticed that Evan had already darted away from his side and had issued the only thing that he had to do in order to get him to go visit the hot springs together: defeat the other man in a snowball fight.

Wait… what?! His mind blacked out for a few moments before belatedly registering the white mass headed his way. It makes contact and splatters on him, drenching his face with the cold, compact…water?

Oh, you’ve done it now, Evan.

“Well then. I certainly don’t back down from a challenge,” was all he said as he quickly made a dash in the other direction, picking up a clump of snow and forming it into a ball.

Seconds later, it’s sent flying—hopefully, in Evan’s direction!

Evan turns in time for the clump of snow to make contact with his chest, bursting outwards across his torso. The man laughs, it's the best case scenario, he's been taken up on the challenge. And more than that it proves something far more crucial, something that makes it a little more worthwhile to maybe visit the hotsprings with the other man.

He's willing to have a little fun.

"You'll need to do better than that."

He reaches for an extra scoops of snow, making this one much bigger than before. The man darts behind a bench with a surprising swiftness compared to his usually clunky footsteps. He's putting effort in for once.

Red devil eye emerge from the hiding place, throwing the next snowball before ducking down to make yet another.

“Oh, is that a challenge then?” he said, steely look in his eye as he then made a dash towards another bench across from where Evan had decided to plant himself. Seeing that the other was going big with the snowballs, Lars decided to go with quantity over quality because he’s not that great a shake with making large snowballs.

There it was, the red-eyed gaze, staring at him. Ducking behind the bench he then began stockpiling some smaller snow balls, before standing up as high as he dared and throwing two at once.

Once the arctic projectiles had flown (and hopefully scored a hit on their target) he ducked down and began rolling up more snow balls. Who knew how long it would take to bring Evan down?!

One hits his shoulder mid duck, the other flies right over his head and he's laughing on his way down. The two of them must look like children by now, playing in the schoolyard. Evan doesn't dwell on the image long before gathering up more snow. He peaks over the edge of the bench and waits, watching for the other man to stand again to take his chance.

When he's certain he'll hit true he throws, aiming to get Lars square in the chest.

Who knew it was going to be so much fun playing in the snow?!

The moment he was sure he had enough projectiles, he then stood up and lobbed a couple of them before seeing a large-sized one headed his way. Oh shit, really? was all he had time to think before the thing scored a direct hit on him and sent him careening from the impact.

“Wow, that—that seriously hurt,” he remarked as he made a grab for a couple more snow balls and continued to throw them at Evan. He was pretty certain they weren’t going to hit the target, because wow he was now battling a few seconds of being off-balance and didn’t register the snow balls flying beyond their intended target.

“Ouch,” he said before collapsing behind the bench again and rolling up more projectiles. He was going to try and get the other should he dare peek up from the bench he was hiding behind, and try to smack a good one at close-range, if ever.

"Are you okay?" the playful smile drops in an instant when he hears the ther man say something about the last one hurting. Was there a rock in it he didn't see? Had he hit him in the face when he wasnt meaning to?

Evan's already hopping over the back of the bench and heading in Lars' direction. Worry apparent on his face because the last thing he wanted to have happen was the other man getting hurt.

That was entirely against the point of a snowball fight.

Who knew that Evan was going to fall for that ploy? Oldest trick in the danged book, really.

Keeping his face as straight as possible, he waited until Evan had gotten close enough—before beaning him on the forehead with a snowball he was hiding in his other hand.

“Sometimes, you got to be creative,” he chuckled quietly before sticking his tongue out at the other man. “Of course you know about the distraction ploy, right?” he added with a grin.

“I’m fine, really,” he added a few moments later. He didn’t want to go overboard, after all.

He's met part way with icecold in his facce and the look that surfaces after he shakes the snow off is both stunned and mildly impressed.

"Fine then." He looks at lars, surprisingly straight faced.

"We'll play it that way."

Without hesitation Evan is closing the gap between the two of them. Without hesitation he Tackles the man into the snow bank behind him. After all, he's fine right? In more ways than one

Who knew that little trick of his was going to get him plowed into the nearest snowbank?

Without warning, Lars felt his center of gravity shift before he was tackled into the fluff by Evan himself. None other than Evan Fader!

“Oof, you’re surprisingly strong despite your size,” he chuckled as he was pinned. Sure, his clothes were getting soaked but did he care? Well, maybe slightly he did, because he wasn’t wearing his usual overcoat and thus the cold was starting to leach away his warmth.

“But can you handle this?!”

Without warning Lars attempted to tickle him by reaching for the closest part of Evan’s body he could reach—namely, his sides.






tickle fight?!

They hit the snow pile and lars seems to waste no time with going for his sides, a valid and perhaps even smart decision on his part. Evan wiggles about, arms reaching to cover his sides and he tries o contain his laughter but it doesn't quite work.

Giggles give way to the full belly joyous laughter the man is known for. Before long he's reaching for Lars's sides in much the same form of retaliation.

Two can play the tickle game after all.

“Oh no you’re not getting away, mister,” he remarked as he attempted to ‘assert his tickling dominance’ by going after the most sensitive part of Evan’s body—and it elicits the loudest, most joyous reaction he’s ever had the chance to see and hear.

Up close and personal.

He’s heard him laugh several times before, but not as unrestrained, not as pure—as this.

And in that moment he’d let his guard down, he knew he was pretty much fucked because he was being tickled back now. He had to keep it down! But hell, the same strategy he’d used against Evan was working against him and out from his mouth came the most ridiculous-sounding squeak of a laugh that gave way to something richer, more… raw.

Real.

“I call uncle, I call uncle!” he gasped a few moments later because holy shit he’d forgotten how ticklish he was on that part of his body.
