"You know if you do it, I'll only do it back to you."
Bran shrugged. "That's why I'm wrapped up all warm like this. Bet you couldn't get the snow in for all these layers. Like armour, it is."
Will stooped quickly for more snow, quickly making a ball of it. "A snowball in the face wouldn't be so nice."
"I could deal." He grinned. "Besides, you couldn't hit an elephant with that from where you're stood."
"I'll have you know I'm pretty good at cricket."
"Cricket." Bran made a derisive sound. "I'll have you know I play rugby."
"So?"
There was an evil look in Bran's eyes. Will darted away from the tree, guessing what might be coming. Bran caught up to him quickly, tackling him so they fell, as before, into a breathless heap -- this time in the snow rather than onto the bed. Their eyes met again and this time Bran didn't move. He meant to say something, but somehow the words got lost. Slowly Will reached up, his gloved fingers brushing Bran's cheek.
