Setting the tray down on the table, "Right away." Heading back into the kitchen, he gathered the bowls and some spoons.
She shakes her head and laughs as she puts Celine down in a seat, "I asked you if you wanted me to get the bowls, but thanks honey."
Ylrhea shrugs at being ignored. "Hey, Celia, I'll meet you at Asha's if you want to talk to Elsa."
The gnome then heads toward the tailor's shop. She rolls her eyes at the sorceress' rudeness.
By the time, Drago reaches the blankets only three are left.

Juhi recites all the safety rules for Rajni perfectly.
"It's really easy," Yulia says.
Grabbing his shield from his back and dropped into a ready stance, "When you're ready."

Sitting down at the table she helps Celine with her napkin before putting her own in her lap.
Drago decides to get one so others can get something. Afterwards, he gets in line to pay for it.
She nods, "You did that very well. Now we can move onto the next part which isn't as complicated. Let's go get your crossbow and I'll show you how it all works." She says as she gets up from the table to retrieve the crossbow so she could explain to Juhi how the mechanism worked.
She smiles, "Maybe...but I like the way you make it. Thank you Yulia." She says before taking more sips of the hot delicious drink.
Ylrhea shivers a little. "Would you like to come along with us, Elsa? We're going to get Celia some warmer clothes and, if you're going to chat, I'd rather not freeze my rear off."
"Yeah, but it does tend to make summer slightly uncomfortable."
"Agreed, let's get indoors." Celia says continuing their walk to the tailor shop, giving Ylrhea an apologetic look. "Feel free to come along if you like Elsa. At least you have a while of the weather being the way you like."
Hopping up onto the balance beam, Sādhanā takes a moment to adjust to the slippery surface as she slips her shield from her back, settling into a fighting stance.
Taking a bite of her scone, Rhadaya sighs happily, looking over at Tes and giggling as she extends a finger to dab a bit of whipped cream off the tip of her wife's nose.
Yulia smiles and goes about washing dishes in the kitchen.
Elsa realized that she had completely ignored the Gnome, "I think maybe I'll let you two have fun shopping, you don't need a third wheel." Giving an apologetic bow to Ylhrea, the Half-Elf decided to head up to the fort.

"Well that was very.....to the point." Amelie says with a yawn as the assembly begins to scatter. As quite a few people head towards the fort to sign up, she notes the red haired paladin, Clara among them walking alongside Charity. "Bon pour elle." she says smiling. "She’s a strong one, stronger than that cochon Bashir could break. "

"Only if your hugs are magic," Sienna says.
"Not usually, but I can try." Cyna says taking Sienna into her arms. "Abracadabra." She says with flair. "Anything?"
Tesia giggles as Rhy wipes the whipped cream off her nose. She sits for a minute just trying to decide which one to nibble on first. Finally she picks up the banana nut muffin and takes a bite out of it, "Mmmm....so good. Ohhh this is so yummy." She says with delight between bites. She drinks some more of the hot chocolate before continuing to eat her muffin. It only takes her a few minutes to polish off the muffin. She takes another sip of her drink before biting into her chocolate chip scone and sighing happily as she sways slightly from side to side.
Smiling as Alethiro comes back in with the bowls and spoons she says, "You know I would have gotten those right?" She says as he starts serving them. Taking a bowl from him she gestures toward Celine, "Just give her half a bowl for now okay? She'll be less likely to spill it that way."
Celine sits there holding her spoon expectantly. Smiling at her daddy she says, "Oops pwease."

Bringing the crossbow into the kitchen she looks around for a moment, and noting the look on her aunt Priya's face she holds out her hand to Juhi, "Actually we can go over this in our bedroom. I don't think we should discuss how to use a weapon where we eat. Let's go upstairs and finish the lesson."
Once upstairs she goes over the various parts of the crossbow and how they work. She shows Juhi how to load and unload the crossbow. Finally, after she has Juhi point out all the parts and recite their function, she lets her hold the unloaded crossbow so she can get a feel of the weight and get comfortable with holding it.
Pouring them both some soup, the Elf then pours some for himself. Taking a seat, "I hope it's alright, I'm not much of a chef."
She smiles, "Well, aside from needing to let it cool off a bit before Celine eats it, I'm sure it's fine. It's also really nice to know that if for whatever reason I'm not at home you can handle cooking things sometimes. It helps ease my mind a little, knowing that you can do things like this." She gives him a reassuring smile before taking a spoonful of the soup and blowing on it a little before trying a bite. She nods as she swallows, "It's actually pretty good. Well done love." She then takes Celine's bowl and blows on it until it cools a bit, "There you go baby. Now you can eat it." She says before taking some more bites of the soup herself. Reaching across the table she gives his hand a squeeze, "It's good honey, no worries. So, how was everything while I was out?"
Celine looks from mommy to daddy and giggles as she blows on her soup the way she saw mommy do it. Pulling the bowl close to her she uses her spoon to get a little bit and blows on it again before putting it in her mouth. She swallows and smiles at her daddy who had been working so hard to make their lunch for mommy, "Mmm...good daddy."
She laughs a little, "See...kid approved."
After taking a spoonful of his soup, the Elf glanced at Celine, "We are definitely going to need to be vigilant with her when she doesn't have her braces. Our daughter is very light on her feet."
She cocks her head to the side, "What do you mean honey?"
"When we got home, I set her on the couch and went to boil some water for the soup. She sneaked into the kitchen without making a sound."
She tries not to laugh, "Ahhh I see...snuck up on ya did she? Alright love, we'll be careful and keep a close eye on her. I just don't want them hurting her. If her legs are strong enough, I don't see why she has to keep wearing them...but to be on the safe side maybe we should let Michael take a look at her once they have some time to themselves." She suggests while eating her soup.
"Ooh, I do feel a little warmer," Sienna says with a grin.
Juhi listens to and watches Rajni intently, committing every detail to memory. The promise of a normal childhood was too much to be lazy about this.

Elsa sees many paladins working around the fort, sealing holes and cracks. She also notes several people signing up with the town guard.
Gerard nods. "I think she will be a good addition to our ranks."
He holds Amélie close as they make their way back home.
Ylrhea holds the door of the tailor shop open for Celia.
Rajni watches her closely to make sure she holds it correctly before showing her how to use the sight to aim, "When the weather clears up a bit we can really start your training. For now let me see you load and unload the crossbow. The way you watched me do it, but make sure to keep your hands away from the firing mechanism when doing so."
"Made it just in time," Halfpocket says as Drago approaches the counter. "I suppose I should have ordered more blankets, but I didn't really expect this kind of weather here."
Juhi carefully loads and unloads the crossbow, taking her time to avoid making a mistake.
Rajni watches her and nods approvingly at her progress. When she finishes unloading the crossbow she gives her back a light supportive pat, "Great job Juhi, I think aside from practical application there's very little left that I can show you. You've done really really well. I think that's enough for right now, want to go back downstairs and relax for a bit? I can read to you if you want, or we can just hang out. I just...I kinda want to wait until everyone is together to tell them what I need to say."
"Completely understandable," Drago responded. "How much I owe you?"
Elsa wasn't sure if she should approach or not, What was I thinking? She wondered. Well what the hells am I supposed to do all day? Turning about, she headed to her parent's place.
"Probably a good idea. In the mean time, what should we do today?"
She thinks for a minute as she finishes her soup, "Well...we could dress really warm and try to find some stuff to make a little sled for Celine and let her play in the snow for a little while. You know what....I feel so stupid, I can check her legs." Having finished her soup she picks up Celine, who had finished hers as well and takes her to the living room to examine her legs.
