"My aim is fine! The sun's glinting!" Hey it's a fair excuse and he's gonna stick by that instead of 'I can't hit anything for shit thanks for noticing'.

He is going to keep pausing though, but this time, it's not for snowballs. He takes a few precious seconds to dig his shield into some snow, a nice pile of it sitting there as he hefts it up after her and then flings it. God, maybe this is how he gets the idea for throwing shovels of snow at people...
