Tipping her head, Sandy couldn't help but to laugh. "Fine, Flattery gets you a greeting and some help." She laughed again as he listed his 'traits,' though her brow rose at the nickname. "Well, it certainly isn't 'sweet-cheeks.'" She said firmly, waving a mittened hand at him. "It's Sandy. That's Cherish. And that's-" She looked at the cattaur hiding behind the foxtaur. The other hadn't had the chance to share her name yet. "What's your name?"
The skittish cat pushed her hair from her face, slowly feeling better now that the male had talked for a while without looking angry again. Her tail twitched at the apology, giving a bashful smile and standing fully to stop hiding, and nodded. Yes, she was new. Looking at Sandy, she giggled and shook her head. "Merry. I'm Merry."

"A greeting and some help from a pygmy as lovely as yourself is all that I could ask for," Matteo replied flirtatiously, wiggling his brows before taking the mittened hand she waved at him. "A pleasure to meet you, Sandy," he said, kissing it. "And of course your pretty companions, Cherish and...Merry."
He grinned at the green cattaur mirthfully. "Your names all seem to suit you. Better than Matteo, anyway." The gray and blue cattaur put his hands on his hips and circled the snow taur, inspecting them throughput. "Snow taur, huh? Making them the good ol' fashioned way?" He cocked his head and knelt to scoop up some snow. "Y'know, there's only one thing better to do with snow than that..."
Pulling back his arm, he launched it with all his might at Sandy. "Snowball fight!!"

Having never met a pygmy quite like this Matteo, she couldn't help the surprised but slightly delighted laugh as her mitten was kissed. "A pleasure, I'm sure." She snorted in amusement, shaking her head.
She beamed proudly as the snowtaur were inspected. "Cherish and I worked hard on them!" She leaned over to see what the male was picking up, and a moment later yelped and dodged the snowball, just barely getting missed. Laughing gaily, she packed her own snowball and threw it at the male.
Merry perked up at the compliment to her name. She did like it. Looking at the snowtaur as well, her ears fell slightly. If Matteo had stayed asleep a little longer, she could have said she'd helped make a snowtaur, too. But now she had nothing to impress anyone with. When the snowball fight started though, she squealed with delight. She could make a snowball! She got right to work, packing a ball tight before throwing it and watching it contact Sandy's hide, already working on a second ball.

"Aw, no fair!" the Matteo cried, laughing as Sandy dodged. "W-wait - whoooa!" Tripping once more over his ribbons as he tried to back up, Matteo was hit in the face by the retaliating, coat-wearing cattaur's snowball. He collapsed in the snow at the impact, groaning. "You'll pay for that," he promised, sticking a matter-of-fact finger straight into the air. By the time he pulled himself to his paws, however, it looked like Merry had already avenged him.
"Yeah! Alright!" he shouted, cheering the green pygmy on with an enthusiastic fist to the air. "You're on my team, Merry! Quick, let's get behind that snow drift! That's our fort!" Leaping toward her, he reached over to take her hand and skidded across the snow to make it to their new 'fort' for defense. "We gotta make as many snowballs as we can," he whispered urgently, already gathering more snow toward them with his tail. "I'll strengthen our fort wall."

Laughing at seeing her snowball hit its mark, she yelled in surprise as one smacking into her leg. "Merry!" She called with a laugh, spinning to find her own shelter and build more snowballs. Where had Cherish gone? Hopefully she would join her side so that they were even. She dove behind some low shrubs and started packing the balls.
Delighted to have help, and further delighted to have been chosen to be part of a team, Merry scurried after the male and hunkered down to build up the snowballs while Matteo strengthened their defenses.
