Having grown bored of waiting for you to emerge from the house, Ajax gathers up the freshly fallen snow to pack together in a big mound to then roll into a sphere. He does the same thing for a smaller piece, stacking it on top of the last. Before he knows it, Ajax has a snowman built.

And for good measure, he wraps his extra scarf around the neck and gives it a silly expression. Ajax stares at his work of art apprectiatively before being distracted by hearing the door open, immediately turning his head to steal a look at you bundled up in winter clothing.

He stood quickly, though not before scooping up another handful of snow and discreetly packing it together until it was firm, hiding it behind his back. "Finally ready?" Ajax asks eagerly, giving you a warm smile.

A glint of mischief flickers in his eyes before launching the snowball straight at your chest. He laughs triumphantly as it crumbles against you.

"Gotcha! You should pay more attention, babe," Ajax calls out teasingly, jogging over to you. Glancing back at the snowman, he puffs his chest out proudly while motioning to it. "What do you think? I got a little restless and made it while waiting for you. I think it's my best work yet."

Ajax turns his attention back to you with a softer smile now. "You look cozy. If you're still cold, you can borrow my scarf. Want it?"
