Brook panicked for a moment, when Aidene said there were demons behind them, what if the dark times had come again? What if someone had set some hideous monster on her because she was a pureblood witch with no magic? Aidene seemed genuinely scared, she even seemed to stutter on the word demon... as if she was going to say something else... She ran ahead of Aidene, then realized that she stopped running, Brook turned and glanced where Aidene was looking, and realized there wasn't anything, they were just starting to play now. Brook grabbed Aidene's hand, and pulled at her, "Run fair lady! I know these lands! There's a short cut through these bushes and then we'll be in the safe house!" She smiled, so far it seemed like Aidene liked adventure play time, and that was fine with Brook. It was more fun to have an adventure. "Maybe the shield there will be able to ward them off! If it's not...Brook stopped talking, but continued running, but deep in though. She was quiet for longer than normal for a 10 year old, but then she giggled and whispered, "There's going to be cookies in the house. I can smell them already!" She couldn't help herself, food would be wonderful. It had been THREE HOURS since she had last eaten. That was so long ago. She glanced behind her shoulder as she was almost at a bush with an opening, "The demons are gaining on us! Try casting another fire enchantment! Maybe they'l back off!" She ten mumbled softly to herself, "I'd do it myself but I don't have that skill set it appears."

Aidene hurried along after Brook, happy she had caught on--and with a very realistic panic face too! “It has to hold!” she said urgently.
At first Aidene thought Brook's muttering was her casting her own spell and veered momentarily a bit away. Then she caught the murmur of cookies and grinned. It was confirmed: Mental note, Brook Knapp favorite item cookies. Bring lots to quickly build relationship.
As soon as Brook called of her casting another enchantment, Aidene nodded and whirled around again, snatching a convenient stick from the ground, and throwing her hand forward as though she were her aunt batting a bludger away--or a sorceress casting from a scepter: “Fireball!” A gust of wind rustled by a moment later and Aidene startled. That wasn’t her right? No, no, it had been a pretty breezy day and she had gone almost the entire year so far without incident. Definitely just the normal wind. In any case, Aidene trampled through the hole in the bush after Brook, this time close enough to catch the tail end of what Brook was muttering to herself. ”Well duh, I’m the firemancer and you conjure magical cookies. Now if you have some mana-restorative cookies, I could use one about now!”

As they emerged from the bushes they came to Brooks house. Brook paused for a moment, when Aidene pointed her stick she swore she felt a gust of wind. Could it have been accidental magic? No Nope. Negatory. Aidene was going to be Brook's muggle friend who could make brook cookies and would stay with her even while Rhea was at Hogwarts. That was that, it wouldn't work any other way. Speaking of Rhea, Brook could make out the top of Rhea's head through te Knapp house's window. The two of them were always making each other feel at home, waltzing in whenever, eating dinner with each other's families, they were basically siblings it seemed like. "RHEA IS HOME!" Brook yelled, grabbing Aidene's hand again and pulling her to her house. She threw open the door and hugged Rhea, while also grabbing a cookie off the counter."You're home early Rhea! I want you to meet Aidene, she goes to school with me. She knows of your grandpa, isn't that cool?Anyways I told her she could play with us." She smiled at Aidene, let go of Rhea, then offered Aidene a cookie. They were chocolate chip, one of Brook's favorites."One mana-restorative cookie for the firemancer!" She then spoke to Rhea again, "There's a demon coming after us, the firemancer protected us until we got into the safehold! This is where I provide cookies that were made by magic and some secret recipe. They help restore our powers so we can cast more enchantments." She hoped that would be enough of a summary to get Rhea involved, she didn't want Rhea to feel like she was left out, since she didn't go to school with them. Rhea was her friend longer though, and surely the three of them could all become friends? Even if they wouldn't get to all see each other once Hogwarts started for Rhea.

“Okay, Dee, come on, you can do this. You are strong. You are fierce. You can do anything you set your mind to. Just… Kick your legs up, and do the thing.”
Deepak, of course, did not do the thing.
Deepak lay on his stomach and stared at Rhea like she had two heads. Rhea sighed. ‘Was I this hard to teach?’
“Okay. I’ll show you again, and then we’re going to try the somersault for real, understand? If Dominik can do it, you can, too.”
Just as Rhea was about to get into position and continue her semi-regular Tumbling With Toddlers™️ gymnastics class, she heard Brook’s squeal of excitement and was practically tackled to the floor. She giggled, squeezing Brook just as tightly. “Ballet got cut short today! Madame Barash’s sister went into labor.” She opted not to mention how her 'friends' Marcy and Ann gave her the cold shoulder on the walk home. They were always like that since Rhea told them she'd be living with her Mum full-time next year. It hurt, but she found herself getting used to the idea of being without them. That just meant more time with Brook, if she would just show some sign of magic. Rhea wished she could just give the girl hers and be done with it.
Rhea looked over Brook’s shoulder to see their new company when Aidene was mentioned. She smiled brightly when Brook mentioned she knew about her grandpa—could she be a witch too? Then again, she didn’t know a thing about Grandpa Jonah beyond him being a potioneer. Maybe he interacted with muggles like her Mum did? That didn’t really matter, though. A new friend was always welcome! “Hi Aidene!” she chimed as Brook departed for the cookies. The little mermaid stood, dusting off her tutu as she listened to the explanation on the current game.
“A demon?!”Rhea gasped, more than happy to fall straight into her role. “I’ll fetch my ice blade at once from the golden gremlin’s crypt. Then I can escort the two of you back to the garrison as a proper knight. Hurry and recover your health! There isn’t much time before the demon breaks through the barrier!” With a pat to little Deepak’s head Rhea was off, making her way across to the boy's bedroom and to Aldrick’s bed. She crawled underneath and swiped her plastic rapier she had confiscated towards the end of the Summer, swung by the girls’ room to snag the overnight bag she’d already packed, and was back in a flash, raring to go towards adventure. She bumped Brook’s hip playfully when she returned to the duo, hanging the bag off to its proper owner. “Okay but you didn’t forget you’re actually sleeping over tonight, right? I went ahead and packed your bag. Aidene, you can sleep over too, if you want! We can go to your house and collect your rations." Two was great and all, but with a third, it'd be a real slumber party!

Rhea--the Granddaughter Gods-Mother of Mr. Chance-- was already here! With half of a delicious cookie in her mouth, Aidene simply curtseyed when Brook introduced her. She was momentarily torn between asking Rhea now about the house and continuing to play her role of their game, but Brook decided for her, bustling directly into a summary of the game.
Decided, Aidene swallowed the bite of cookie and introduced herself with a dignified nod and twirl of her stick-scepter. ”Aidene Azura Kieran, firemancer class. Thank you for joining us, fair knight.” she slipped in before Rhea ran off for her ice sword.
”This is good,” Aidene decided of the mana-restorative cookie Brook handed her. ”I need to get the recipe from you sometime, good cookie conjurer.” Aidene was absolutely thrilled to have friends that were so quick to pick up the adventure and couldn’t suppress a wide grin as she peeked around. The dining table was huge, but other than that, it seemed a very normal place. Nothing that might be distinctly magical sitting around. Then again, so was her house and two witches lived there. Speaking of others, Aidene crouched on her knees to peer at the young twins. ”Hello younglings.”
This place smells like cookies. she decided as Rhea returned, a wonderful sword in hand. Aidene herself hadn’t quite started learning sword forms in kung fu, but you could bet she was asking her master about it today.”The golden gremlin’s crypt was evidently no match for you, Ser Rhea,” she greeted, bouncing back to her feet.
As they headed out again, Rhea brought up a sleepover--and even promptly invited her to it! Aidene was thrilled. She had never had friends her age that lasted longer than a week before, much less had a sleepover. She nodded enthusiastically.”My Order is camped just a few minutes... that way,” she pointed through the bushes, moving her finger down the trail they had been following before shortcutting. ”I’ve got a--I’ve got to be home from 5:30 to like 7:30, but can be back later?” she said, breaking character for a moment. She looked back at Brook and Rhea, hoped that would be okay--Aidene really wanted to go to a sleepover, but it wouldn’t be very good to miss practice either. She used to train 5-6 days a week, but that had been cut back to 4 since moving-- sometimes fewer if Daddy was busy-- and was loathe to cut back even further.

Brook was slightly concerned that Rhea was trying to get the twins to tumble. Not everyone was as flexible as Rhea, but maybe they needed to start that young to ave Rhea status of flexibility. Brook had definitely forgotten that she was spending the night at Rhea's, she had gotten confused which hosue they were staying at. Good thing Rhea had packed her bags already, it was great having a friend who knew where all of your stuff was. "Of course I didn't forget!" She was very obviously lying. She smiled at Aidene, and was glad Rhea accepted Aidene,"Of course you can go and come back! It's an open invitation. Too bad you can't fl-flyyyy home and come back. Like a butterfly or something, It would be quicker. Well, if you were a large butterfly. But that's silly people can't turn into butterflies... people are... people." She grinned, she would be glad when Aidene was gone so she could talk with Rhea about how hard it was to keep magic away from Aidene, when she seemed to fit so well with the other two girls already. "Go when you need to, and come back when you can. Maybe the demons will stay away long enough to allow you to travel to the camp and back." Brook had a solution. One of them needed to marry Aidene, then they could tell her about magic. It was the only way to go. If Rhea was already sworn to the cute boy that was her brother's friend's cousin, then Brook would have to Marry Aidene. It was a sacrifice that she was willing to make.

Rhea’s eyes widened when Brook had nearly gone off and told Aidene about the floo, but luckily she’d managed to veer off to butterflies. She giggled nervously and nodded along, not yet sure of the best approach to what was proving to be a delicate situation. “Right, but wouldn’t that be so fun to ride one?” Inwardly, Rhea was screaming at Brook. Clearly her bestie was about to misspeak, and since she had to save herself, that meant Aidene was likely not magic; and if that was the case, how many times has she slipped on the walk home alone? This was serious business. If she couldn’t keep her mouth shut, her Mum might not let Aidene stay, and then they would look like a pair of snooty girls that gave the new girl a fake invite for laughs!
The brunette nodded once again in agreement when Brook spoke for the two of them that the time wouldn’t be a bother at all. If anything, it was probably a good thing, because she was pretty sure Orion was still in Rye with his friends and would be due to floo home any time now. Plus, this would give them precious time to come up with a plan. “Just come to the house across the hedges with the big shed in the back when you're ready. I’ll tell my Mum when you’re coming, so we’ll make sure not to order the pizza too early! If you have any movies or games you wanna bring, grab those while you’re gone, okay?”
So what if their new friend might be a muggle? Rhea could dance around a subject. She was basically an expert at the dancing part anyway. This would be the best night ever!

Riding a butterfly sounds cool but impossible….but maybe you could be a butterfly animalgs? Animagic? Animalgic? It’s a thing. Aidene thought, listening to Brook’s lovely thought about flying home on a butterfly. But she couldn’t exactly say that animal-magic-people were a thing. That was like some kind of changeling nonsense. And some community taboo.
She was though, ecstatic her new party members were fine with her necessary absence. So true to form, Aidene left a bit before 5:30, flooed to Scarborough— Brook throughT butterfly-travel was efficient, Floo would boggle her mind. came back, showered, and grabbed sleeping gear for an evening before dragging her dad along to the house in question.

Aldrick shook his hands, as if he were going to shake his nerves away. There was a family lunch today, all the Knapps eating outside in the backyard, maybe even a few neighbors were going to come around, who knew. There were picnic tables and there were blankets laying down. The house elf was popping back and forth with an arrangement of food. The most nerve wracking part, Jessie was coming. Sure, they had visitors drop in all the time, but this would be the first significant other that dropped in.
Brook on the other hand, was running around like a maniac throughout the neighborhood, inviting anyone she could. She had owled Gus and asked, but wasn’t sure if he would make it. Rhea was out with dancing lessons, so that was unfortunate in spending time with her. Aidene may make it as well, but Brook wasn’t sure. She would just have to keep an eye out on them.
Chadwick was talking with any adult he could, and waited to see if Sparrow would come, he had invited her, but she had to ask her parents permission first. Almost certainly though, Sparrow would be here, Chadwick had asked so sweetly of her, and said it would look good to their parents if they interacted with one another. Meanwhile, Cenek was playing with Dominik and Deppak, chasing them around the yard in a game of tag. Erikk was upstairs in the parents room asleep, they were going to just let him sleep until it was time for food, to try to not upset any apple carts. Kadence Knapp was setting up the table as the house elf brought food, and Alarick Knapp was still out, not having come back home from work yet.
Aldrick and Brook went to welcome their guests, they both went unsure as to who had come first. Brook sighed when it was Jessie, and not Gus or Aidene, she sulked off, back to sneaking samples of the food. Aldrick smiled at Jessie and took her hand, then released it so he could sign while saying aloud, “You look beautiful, Jess. Welcome to the Knapp House. We’re eating in the back, it’s easier to clean up messes that spill to the ground that way.” Of course, his sentences were a bit of a broken sign language, he was learning, just not that quickly. He started walking toward the back of the house, although he could always take her around the house, show her the different rooms, take her up to the bedroom to have some alone time...
“MOM! ALDRICK HAS A GIRL WITH HIM!” Dominik screamed when she spotted Jessie and Aldrick, so much for the plan of going to snog in the bedroom. Aldrick smiled at Jessie and spelt out “D-O-M-I-N-I-K”, to identify who the little girl was. He had previously drawn out a family tree of all his family, and their ages, and owled it over to Jessie, in the hopes of not letting her be too overwhelmed with all the children running around.
Kadence came from out back, and smiled at Jessie, “It’s nice to meet you.” she signed to Jessie. She then grinned and gave a questioning look to Aldrick, and aldrick gave her a thumbs up. Kadence had wanted to be able to welcome Jessie and make her feel welcome, so she tried to learn a little bit of sign, but she didn’t have time to learn much. She stopped signing and just said out loud, “I’m Aldrick’s mom, Kadence. It’s so nice that Aldrick has a girlfriend finally, and brought her here.”
At that time, Brook came back through, on her way to try to physically drag Aidene to the Knapp house, and laughed, “Aldrick finally having a girlfriend? This is like, his ninth official girlfriend, not to mention his unofficial flings with any number of girls. Although, Jessie you are by far my favorite.” She winked at Aldrick, “I hope you get in trouble now.” She then ran off to the front door, and saw Aidene standing there, not yet coming in. Brook grinned and dragged her friend inside. ”Aidene, just in time, Aldrick is getting in trouble for all his girlfriends. Would you count Lizzie as one of his unofficial girlfriends, or an official one? I never can tell with those two? Or mortal enemies!
Kadence glared at Aldrick, “Young man, we will be having a conversation about this later, but now is not the time for it.” She smiled at Jessie again, “Come on back, we’ll introduce you to everyone else.”

Jess was incredibly nervous. She'd been invited to meet Aldrick's family, which, judging by the fact that he'd drawn up a chart, was large and hectic. Either way, she wasn't about to turn down the invite. It wasn't very often she got invited to go hang out with people anyway... She spent the day prior shopping with mom, finally settling on a twirly yellow dress that showed off her.... emerging figure. At the very least, it felt more grown up than her normal jeans-and-tee-shirt combo... Maybe... The morning of the picnic, she skulked in her room until mum wandered in to tie up her hair in a braided updo. Maybe Aldrick would like it? And if not, well... she could take it down quick. She glanced at the heels her mom had set out, then huffed and pulled on her sneakers instead. She could barely walk in heels as it were, and she didn't want to twist her ankle on a date.... thing.
After a bit more preparation, the duo apparated near to the Knapp house, then walked the couple blocks to the house. Once the door had been opened by Aldrick, Jessie waved as her mom left, then returned attention to the blonde. He said she looked beautiful, earning a small blush from the redhead. He also added that they were eating in back, purely for ease of cleaning. "Thanks for inviting me. I can't wait to meet everyone!" She signed, sending the blonde a little smile. Hopefully he had practiced enough to understand, since she'd forgotten her whiteboard at home. Dammit! It was going to be super awkward if she had to struggle through speech all afternoon.
Suddenly, someone younger ran close, then appeared to be shouting. Jessie looked nervously over at Aldrick, hoping he'd find a way to tell her what the girl was yelling. Sure enough, he signed out a name, Dominik, and grinned. Alright. That was one of the many Knapp kids, then. But where were the rest? Suddenly, a pleasant looking woman walked over, signing that it was nice to meet Jessie. Of course, even this small effort brought a bright smile to the girl's face. Unfortunately, that seemed to be all the woman knew. Luckily, she spoke clearly enough for Jess to get a pretty good read. Well... no time like the present. "Thank you, miss Knapp. It is nice to meet you too." Her voice was a bit shaky and awkwardly too loud, but she was just happy she was speaking - out loud - to someone she'd never met. Maybe Rickie would have mercy and provide a way to write soon...
Just after she spoke, a couple other girls showed up, one saying.... something about girlfriends, official.... flags, maybe? Jess furrowed her eyebrows, wishing yet again she was able to hear. The girl then winked over at Aldrick, saying she hoped he got in trouble. Trouble over what?! Was Jessie not supposed to come? Oh no... She looked over at Aldrick's mom, but the woman looked annoyed at the blonde. She said they'd talk about it later, then looked sweet-as-pie over at Jess. The redhead nodded, thinking that meeting everyone sounded somehow like an absolutely terrible plan, but it had to be done. She nodded once, glancing over at Aldrick for guidance.

Aidene had spent her summer break thus far dutifully practicing her forms in an effort to be able to test for her next rank. Between that and video games and cooking lessons and readings and the occasional flying practice, she’d barely even time for her arts and crafts or just hanging out. So, when Brook mentioned the Knapps hosting a family lunch today, she’d been quite excited. That day though, she woke up unfortuantely way later than she'd planned-- too late to be able to bake fresh snacks. Luckily, her dad had bought a tray of egg rolls from Wok and Roll to bring along, and she grabbed the ice-cream cake bites she’d made with Master Theo a few days ago.
The entire walk to the Knapp House Aidene whined tiredly at her dad, who only pointed out that he had tried--multiple times--to wake her up. But in any case, the walk seemed to wake her up and by the time she got to the Knapp House, Aidene was her usual cheerful self. She checked the box in her hand, hoping her treats hadn’t melted, but was quickly dragged in by Brook. Apparently the Gremlin was getting called out on his flirt-with-everyone strategy in Life the Otome. ”I dunno, I don’t think they’ve ever dated outside of my imagination, but they’re definitely like 6 or 7 hearts.” she gave it another serious moment of thought: ”He and Jess have been pretty solid, though, right? I ship it. But also if he ever treated Lizzie as ‘just a fling’ I will fight.”
Meanwhile, Martin busied himself adding their contributions to the literal banquet the Knapp’s elf had cooked up, greeting the elf and Kadence before he was accosted by one of the boys-- Chadwick? Cenek?
Once her snack-tribution was accepted, Aidene wandered out to the back with Brook.”Sup, Dom, Dee,” She greeted the kids with high fives. She wanted to jump into the tag game immediately, but figured she shoudl make her rounds first and say hi to everyone -- had to maintain hearts with everyone after all! ”And uh...Chadwick?
“Is Erikk asleep?” she asked Brook after not spotting the baby anywhere. She grinned and signed her usual art club greeting at Jessie: ”Hi, how’s your art been?”

Her dad was off working extra hours at the Ministry but Sparrow waltzed in through the floo accompanied by her mum and the younger house elf. Piper followed the Knapp’s house elf around, there to help or enjoy the festivities as required. Eliana meanwhile, sought out Kadence or Alarick to socialize with and gift a few baby-friendly soaps to.
Sparrow meanwhile, fluttered off to find her future boyfriend. She almost collided with one of the D twins in their game of tag before spotting Chadwick greeting adults. ”Hey Chad, hullo Mr. Martin!” she piped, listening in to see what they were talking about.

Aldrick looked at Jess and frowned, she looked a little confused, and he realized she didn't have her whiteboard. He thought on it, and grinned, he grabbed Cenek by the collar, catching him before he took off with the other children, "I need you to go upstairs and grab your white board or your chalk board. You pick. It'll be easier for Jess if people can write to her instead of having her read lips all day."
Chadwick sighed,"Sure I guess." He ran upstairs, dug through his side of the room, and brought back down a chalk board, his white board had too many important notes on it about his goals. He wrote on it, 'Here ya go. Welcome to the disaster area.' Then handed the piece of chalk and board to Jessie with a smile, before running back to the children, and seeing Sparrow arrive. He smiled at her and waved, before getting aggressively tagged by Dominik. The game was afoot. He went after Dominik and Deepak. Of course, then Aidene was there and got a highfive from Dominik and Deepak, and went as if she were going for a highfive from him too, except, she said Chadwick. Of course she couldn't tell them apart either, no one bothered. "It's Cenek," he said softly, then high fived her hand,"And you're it now Aidene." He took off.
Aldrick frowned at the chalkboard and what Cenek had written. He grabbed a napkin from the table and wiped it off, then wrote at the very top of the board, "I thought this would help. If you need anything, feel free to hit me or something and we'll figure it out. I'm glad you could be here, I don't want you to be stressed about this." He pulled her toward the table and pointed to the baking dish that was there, then grinned and signed "Lasagne just for you." He had asked his mom to make it, because he knew Jessie would like it. He wanted to impress her.
Brook nodded with Aidene's evaluation of Lizzie and Aldrick, "I agree, but after that kiss thing that Aldrick went off about during break I feel like they may have secretly been a fling but Lizzie was too embarrassed to tell us." When Aidene asked about Erikk she nodded, "Yeah the baby is asleep for now. But Dominik and Deepak are going to wake him up if they don't stop this yelling."Of course, Brook had partially yelled that last part and gotten a glare from her mother. Then, Cenek tagged Aidene into the game, guess it was time to have fun with the kids before eating. Brook grinned, and took off from Aidene, she wasn't going to get tagged by her best friend.
Chadwick took Sparrow's hand and kissed it, "Hello Winchparrow, beautiful as ever." He then whispered in her ear, "I like your outfit, very appropriate for the occasion."He continued his conversation with Mr. Martin though, talking about his video game coaching, and Chadwick trying to determine how he could use that in quidditch instead of unrealistic sports. Why would you do something like video game coaching, when your tactical skills were good enough to do quidditch coaching or something. His job was so... meaningless.

▬▬"Goodbye.I'mofftojointhecircus."▬▬
Dominik and Deepak had taken to playing in the backyard of their house during the summer, sometimes with Brook, Rhea, and Aidene, sometimes with Chad and Cenek, sometimes with other kids in the neighbor hood. The Knapp house just became the place to hang out in sometimes, when one needed friends. However, sometimes the two twins were left alone, to wait until the others would come. Today, was one of those days. Dominik sighed as she began to work on her side Aerial for Gymnastics. She first did a Summersault, then tried without her hands on the ground, and promptly fell. She grumbled, "If I can't always get these I will never be as good as Miss Rhea, I need to be at least as good as Miss Rhea." She went in for a cartwheel again, and fell on that too. She sat on the ground and frowned at the world around her, then looked to the sky, "I wonder what the clouds are thinking today. What do you think?" She glanced at her brother, but then shrugged, she would just ask the sky what the clouds were thinking, that was fine.

❅➳CELESTINAEPSILHYUR 39 years || Gryffindor Alumna || halfblood Artificer, Thief, former ice skater _______________
Celestina was back in Godric’s Hollow. She had felt a sudden curiosity to check on the other person she shared blood with, and had come wondering if there was a way to interest Aidene in the country life. According to Celestina’s stepfather, Aidene seemed to have too many projects going on: cooking, martial arts, crafts….games. Celestina was working on interesting projects in Switzerland: Potions that supposedly let you walk through walls, spells that woke the dead, blood magic runes.. the stuff of fantasy games. Not that any of it worked yet. But she had heard Aidene and her friends talking when she was in town briefly a few years back: they enjoyed a challenge. Surely the subjects were comparable enough? And Celestina could use an assistant to dote on.
But when she had last been here, September first almost two years ago, Elysia and Martin had been rather upset at her sudden arrival. She understood their caution: her marriage to the squib hadn’t ended on the best of terms-- they had even sent a ministry official after her in Russia! Later she found out it was just to deliver divorce papers, and was perfectly standard procedure, but at the time she had felt imperiled by the official’s presence. But that was over half a decade ago now, and they still hadn’t let it go. Only a few years ago they had sent an auror questioning after her! Was she being unreasonable? Celestina was the one willing to make amends. And the whisper in her head said that this summer was a fine time to check on the state of things.
Just to be cautious though, Celestina was under the guise of a polyjuice potion: A teenager with long hair like fields of golden wheat. The girl had spent years and years growing it out, but her father wanted it cut, and Celestina had been in town to cut it pretty. She had even given the girl an aquamarine hairpin to compliment her eyes. For her loss. Celestina, disguised as this village girl, had a picnic basket on her arm, the image of an innocent child on a country picnic. She was passing by the Knapp house when a voice spoke up, asking a question about the clouds. Celestina lingered a moment, confused if this was addressed at her.
The little girl was looking at her brother, who murmured something so soft that Celestina didn’t even hear it, and she heard things that people didn’t say sometimes. The younger Knapp girl shrugged and returned to staring at the sky. Celestina gazed up thoughtfully. Fluffy white clouds, without a hint of rain. When she looked back down to earth she realized she had been spotted and simply answered the question, pitching her voice a little lower than usual. “I think they look a little bored, or lazy. Maybe they're thinking of a picnic too. What do you think? ”
She waited for the girl’s answer, or maybe for the boy, who had sat up curiously. "Were you doing cartwheels little dears? You're much better than I was at your age."
