Rorschach began to jerk back as soon as he realized he'd hit his intended target, though not quick enough to avoid getting smacked in the shoulder with the snowball. Oof. Still, he felt out of the two of them that Hickey had gotten the worse of the exchange.

He pulled off another pinecone, holding onto it with his free hand just in case Hickey wanted to start something. Alright, granted he'd been the first one to attack, but Rorschach had been minding his own business monologuing to himself until Hickey had decided to start commenting on it. "Learn to watch your surroundings. Or next time someone else might take you out instead of just talking."
