Oops... maybe she should have had the grace to throw her aim a bit off as well. Earako managed to swallow her giggles, reproaching herself inwardly for hitting the boy with a snowball. And nevermind that he had started it, had started all the games tonight.
Games?
"I'm sorry." Earako settled back on the ground, next to the love bird, ignoring the fact that Paxton was still gathering snow, and she was making herself an incredibly easy target. "I didn't mean--"
Except of course, that she had indeed meant to hit him, so she closed her mouth before the words turned into a lie.
"Would you like my cape?" The lady could be chivalrous too, under the right circumstances. Earako was much more sensitive to heat than she was to cold, so the night felt chilly to her, but not uncomfortably so. She certainly wasn't as miserable as Paxton currently looked.

It was true Paxton had started things, but that's only because Earako had been so...Ah, it didn't matter, anything for the girlies right? Paxton enjoyed his job, enjoyed making other people happy. So, if it meant taking a snowball to himself, so be it. The lovebird wouldn't have it any other way.
Still shivering, Paxton looked up at Earako as the small thing approached him. "Suuuure ya didn't," was the sly smirk on his lips. "Y-you have better aim than I would have imagined." The boy said as he shoved himself from the snow and dusted off the particles of cold still attached to his clothes.
"An naw...I got a better way to keep warm," came a brisk reply, as the child roped a hand around Earako’s waist and snuggled up to her. "Besides, look class is out--" he pointed to the glow of the building where a few small shadowy figures were making their way across the parking lot. "--Don't want our parent’s realizing we skipped."
Giving Earako a squeeze, he began to walk the two of them across the snowy yard. “--Too bad this has to end though..." came a small sigh. “You were having fun, right?"

Unlike the earlier kiss, the snuggling didn't surprise Earako at all. The affection level among her and her cousins and family was pretty high, so having a arm around her was nothing all that unusual. It just felt cozy and warm. "I'm learning to use a bow." She admitted, relaxing against Paxton with lazy trust.
Following his line of sight she frowned at the silhouettes of their classmates, disappointed to have to leave the company of her new friend so quickly. It had been nice, and... different. Full of fluttering heart beats and bits of nervous fear, but not bad. She would have to reflect on it later, when there were not figures growing rapidly clearer as they approached, and no one had their arm around her waist.
"Yes." She replied, scanning for her father's bike in the parking lot, or his familiar tall form. There... still in the distance. "You should come over and visit. You could meet Vimber. There's my Da'." She pointed to the shadow in question, not even moving away from Paxton. Innocent enough to feel guilty only over the class skipped, and not too much, even about that.

A bow? Well that kind of explained it some...why she could throw and all. Hell if he could throw or any of that. The lovebird hadn't even had a single battle or defense lesson yet. Was that bad?
Probably. However, in his defense, Paxton didn't see a point to fighting. The child was a well mannered lover, not a rough and rumble sort. Not like he was ever going put his fighting classes to use...erm, that is if he ever got around to taking them.
"Yeah...I'd like that. To meet your family and all," Paxton began to slow as objects on the horizon began to clear and form into obscure shapes. So it really was time to go?
Alas, it was true, all good things must come to an end. Goofy smile still upon his face, Paxton stopped before pulling Earako in for a goodbye hug and kiss on the cheek. "I'll look you up sometime. Now, get out of here,"
Laughing as he said the last part, Paxton gave Earako a nudge forward and watched as the girl drifted off towards the figure of her father.
Paxton dared not take another step forward in case the man should see him.
