[The snow is falling, but Stella doesn't see this as a reason to stay inside, and neither does Sophie. So, mother and daughter are outside and in front of their house, playing a game that Stella recently constructed. It's a large piece of cardboard with a big hole cut out in the middle, and around it are bright and vibrant colors. A few feet

[Nothing like a walk outside and stumbling across the scene of a little girl pelting an adult with a beanbag. He comes at a point that that's all he sees, and he's rather stunned to see a woman being knocked off her knees like that.

Picking up his pace, he approaches the woman but keeps the distance between the two of them. Getting too close might make things uncomfortable.]

Are you all right?

[goldenfirefly]

[A little girl who's barely two-years old at that. Stella blinks a couple of times from that voice, lifts her head up, then lets it fall back in the snow with a groan. The blush on her face indicates that she's only embarrassed.]

Yes... I'm all right. Thank you.

[She must take after her father. Her lying down like that looks painful, if only because her wings are there and she fell. He looks at the infant before turning back to who's presumably her mother.]

She's quite strong. Do you need help getting up?

[Sophie quiets down once the new person looks at her and gives a blank face, another trait she took from her father. At that question, Stella smiles a little and holds out her hand.]

If you wouldn't mind.

[goldenfirefly]

[Sophie knows that voice, and she starts imploring Senel to look at what she did in her own toddler way. Meanwhile, Stella sits up slowly with a little wince.]

Ow... Senel?

[goldenfirefly]

[Stella takes the offered hand and pulls herself up with a light cringe. She'll be feeling that for a few hours. Once she's up, she looks at Sophie, who toddles to the two of them with a proud smile.]

She threw a beanbag at me and knocked me over.

[Because Claude needs more CR, and he's out enjoying the snow himself, he walks by just in time to see Stella get beaned with that bag.]

Woah, are you all right, miss?

[It's mostly Stella's pride that hurts. After all, she was knocked off of her feet by a beanbag. Thrown by her daughter. And at that voice, her face reddens a little.]

I... yes. I'm all right, thank you.

[The fact that she was just nailed by a toddler is kind of odd.]

What exactly happened?

[Action]

[goldenfirefly]

We were playing a game, and... [She slowly starts to sit up with a wince, her wings ruffling themselves to straighten out a little.] ... She hit me with a beanbag.

[fffff, she's more embarrassed than anything. She rubs her forehead and looks up at him, giving a little smile once she realizes that she recognizes him.] Ah... yes. I didn't realize her strength... I suppose.

[Action]

[goldenfirefly]

[She winces a bit as she sits up, her wings shaking and ruffling themselves out.] She wasn't... [She stops as the realization comes to her.] Perhaps... She's gaining our power. Senel's power.

[Well, that's not something you see every day. Wandering over.]

You alright there, Stella?

[Action]

[goldenfirefly]

[fff, Yuri. She rubs her forehead, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.] Physically, yes. [Except for the wings, and she winces as she starts to sit up.]

[Action]

[once_knighted]

[Noticing that. ... That can't feel too nice. Glancing at those wings for a moment ... yeah, doesn't look like anything broke. Still.]

... She nailed you pretty hard, huh? That's one hell of an arm she's got on her.

[goldenfirefly]

[She doesn't respond until she's up and giving Yuri a light slap on the shoulder.]

Senel says that word enough around her.

[Although it makes Sophie giggle.]
