Sometime after Dean started cooking, Steven and modded with permission and will ping himself in Watts came out from the private residence with two children in tow. One, a six year old boy with red hair, the other a three year old girl who was carrying a stuffed bunny.

Steven stopped by the door to the all purpose room, which gave the girl enough of an opening to dart towards the kitchen because she smelled pancakes.

She didn't go into the kitchen though because this was Not Home and you had to have extra manners when you were on Holiday. (She might not know capital letters yet, but she did know words that were Important.) Which meant that she was now standing in the doorway to the kitchen, eyes wide, watching everything.

Evie shook her head. "I'm not Hungry! I'm Evie!"

This was said far, far too loud for normal conversation. Evie was still working on volume, particularly when she was excited.

She held up her stuffed bunny. "This is Tawa. She likes lettuce."

Evie waved back. "I'm Evie! This is Tawa. He's Francis. He's my brother."

This was said with great pride. Evie was of the opinion that Francis was the best big brother ever. He would also have his own thread for interacting

"Hi!" Francis chirped back in response, a little less guarded now that he knew his little sister was okay.
