''Ooooh! Are not you handsome?'' she said all in a sudden, giggling rather loudly right after it. So, the handsome boy was trying to make a snowman. ''A snowman, really?'' Had not he ever tried to make a snowman before? Lea had no idea what the stones were for. Perhaps he was planning to use them as the snowman's eyes. ''I can teach you!!! You don't need to play with stones for that.''
Nose in the air, she walked past him and took a handful of snow. ''Ready?''
She was grinning even more widely. Joćo frowned to himself. Kids these days... they were just too--
She even complimented him! That totally left Joćo speechless and perplexed as he blinked at the girl, frown still on.
"Well--thank you," he said after a while, getting red in the process. She even giggled loudly! He looked around to see if anyone giggled at
that. If they did--he was going to hex them like they have never seen. This kid wasn't intimidated by him and even complimented him accompanied with giggles. He either had to go away or enforce his own authority, because she was already holding the reigns of this encounter. He opted for the latter, and shifted his weight after his redness subsided.
"Yes, I am ready," he said, folding his arms as if he was going to supervise how she was going to do it. Being taught how to make a snowman by a little girl... at least she was self-confident, that it wasn't so bad. He hoped. He would be alert for anyone to drop by, of course, though... just in case they laughed at him.
