"Oh, Ice Bear, thank you. This is already plenty, I can drop it off at our school and the children can all have them for a snack afterwards." She'll figure out how to explain where she got all of it later.
As predicted, Adia has taken to Panda immediately, finding a kindred spirit in the shy, nervous bear. "That's so thoughtful of you. I think they'd like some crayons and paper most of all. I don't think they miss toys all that much, to be honest. The island itself is so much fun to explore, they've been using their imagination instead."
Time spent with the Bears always puts her in a great mood, so when Caspar marches up, Tepig on his heels, it's a bit of a shock to her system. "What's wrong?" she asks immediately, recognizing how upset he is, even if he's doing his best to hide it.
Caspar starts to reply, then glances at the Bears -- in particular Panda, who he has not met yet. "...ran into you-know-who," he says simply. Adia startles and he adds quickly, "Nothing happened. He doesn't remember me. Neither does Marie."
Adia sighs softly. Their conversation about this went only a little better than when she spoke with Madrone. She's proud of Caspar for keeping his cool, but worried, too, that this accidental meeting has opened old wounds for him, too. Reaching out, she takes his hand and gives it a warm squeeze. "I'm glad you found me," she says quietly, before gesturing to Panda. "This is Panda, Ice Bear's other brother. Panda, this is my boyfriend, Caspar. And that's Princess, his Tepig."
Princess oinks hello to Ice bear and the soft-looking Pangoro.
I was hoping you'd tag with them :)
