She'd been quite right; the journey up had gone much faster as a race. Using all her speed, she'd stayed ahead almost the whole way and been about to celebrate upon reaching the apex, when a load of snow hit her on the face as Icarus caught up, leaping past and almost crashing into her. "Oi!" came her accusatory cry. She was tempted to fling herself after him into the drifted snow, but erred on the side of decorum for once and just got down to the task of shaking the white powder out of her coat. It didn't last long, as more still was tossed her way when Icarus shook himself. Legacy rolled her eyes at him but couldn't help a grin upon seeing those blue eyes once more, not really caring about what kind of state her fur was in. She accompanied him to the start of the downwards slope, treading carefully so as not to go slipping off the edge. Two snow-flecked puppies gazing down the hill which in their minds was transformed into the perfect slide. The dizzying sensation of the ground dropping away was accentuated by the knowledge that she was going to end up flying down it. She was tempted to try straight away and take him off guard, but wasn't sure what the accepted method of sliding might be. "Okay. You first," she said encouragingly, slanting a daredevil look his way.
