“ oh, you can’t let them win, stop that. ”

Wendy only reacted to that with pulling her legs closer to her chest and burying her gave in her knees, brooding even more than before. “They are right though. Other sprites my age are already able to use some of their magic, only I’m not able to. I’m probably never be able to use it at all if this goes on.”

“Its not boring. I mean my brothers are kinda trying to help me practice, but I think it would be more fun if I actually did something, instead of just hoping that something will maybe happen.”

Natalia shrugged, “all I’m saying is that it’s a matter of perspective. You don’t seem to be so sad, anymore, at least~” She spoke on a sing-song voice, flipping her tail and moving to a rock just a bit further away.

Wendy felt relief when they reached the resort and made their way back inside the warmth. She really wasn’t made for wandering around in the cold for so long. She followed him to the kitchen, grinning in excitement for the hot chocolate. “Yes! Where exactly do we start?”

“That depends. Want to make it from scratch or from a powder? Homemade hot chocolate tastes better, but it’s a little more work. Powdered hot chocolate will warm us up faster, but it’s not quite as tasty.” He hummed, “we still have to wait for your brothers anyway, but you’re cold right now…” He looked to her, “I’ll leave the decision to you.” 

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy thought for a moment, but the decision wasnt that hard to make after all. “I’d like to try to make one from scratch! It does sound more tasty after all!”

"Excuse me? I got a bit lost,can you tell me where the harbor is?"

Sylvia looked up. “Take a right and head down the street for eight blocks. Are you new to these parts?” she asked.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy puffed out her cheeks. “I can totally handle that! There is always space for extra dessert!”

[aphmonacobenoit]

Sylvia nodded seriously. “Alright, then I think we are in agreement,” she said before turning to the waitress. “I’ll take the chocolate mouse here and the macaroons to go.”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy grinned and nodded. “Yeah!”

[aphmonacobenoit]

"Excuse me? I got a bit lost,can you tell me where the harbor is?"

Wendy shrugged. “Dunno. I could get more practice in with using it I guess.”

Natalia sat next to the young girl, tapping her chin in thought. 

“Sounds boring. I’d honestly rather spend my time having fun than practicing anything… except maybe cooking”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

“Its not boring. I mean my brothers are kinda trying to help me practice, but I think it would be more fun if I actually did something, instead of just hoping that something will maybe happen.”

“Ohhh my brothers told me about that! I think they want to take me there the next time?” She grinned. “Sprinkles in lot of colors sound fun!”

He smiled as they made it to the resort, holding the door open for her as a rush of warm air hit them both. “After you.”

If the staff in the lobby showed concern about Heracles being gone for so long, they didn’t show it. They also didn’t seem surprised that he’d found a small guest along the way. He gave a small wave and led her to the kitchen. “Okay… hot chocolate. Let’s get started.”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy felt relief when they reached the resort and made their way back inside the warmth. She really wasn’t made for wandering around in the cold for so long. She followed him to the kitchen, grinning in excitement for the hot chocolate. “Yes! Where exactly do we start?”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

"Fancy seeing you here... alone... Wendy, are your brothers around this festival?"

Wendy looked up from the bench she was sitting on and nodded slowly. “Well…I guess they are here somewhere.” She wrapped her arms around herself since it was freezing cold and she had been looking for her brothers some time now. Couldn’t they have choosen a warmer day, even her hair was freezing up. “There are so many people here that are taller than me that I lost track of them both…”

[niasucusercy-blog]

Once he had his coat on again, he shifted to lift her into his arms, whilst making sure to wrap her in it. It wasn’t like him to just steal it back - she still looked cold, so he couldn’t just let her walk about with no coat. 

As they began to walk, Artem started to pick up a familiar scent, that of her brothers. Getting closer to them, Artem could hear their desperate voices asking plenty of people if they had seen a little girl. Of course, they had never stopped looking; the masses had just made it extremely difficult.  “I think I can hear them,” he muttered, “can you?” 

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy let herself be picked up by Artem and wrapped into his coat. It probably looked even more ridiculous, but at least it was warm.

Looking around, she was able to hear them soon as well. (“I can’t believe we lost her!” “Well...we will find her again. Hopefully.” “What if not?!” “Ah...” “What if she got trampled by all the people here?!” “That would be bad...but lets believe she didn’t get trampled!”) She pointed into the direction she heard their voices.”Yes I can hear them.”

"Excuse me? I got a bit lost,can you tell me where the harbor is?"

Sylvia looked up. “Take a right and head down the street for eight blocks. Are you new to these parts?” she asked.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

“He’s the owner of the farm my brothers work at. He is suuuuper nice. Lutz and my brothers try their very best to cultivate the grounds in Orvunos and they are quite successful already!” She grinned slightly at the waitress that brought their food.”Thank you, that lookes really delicious!”

[aphmonacobenoit]

Sylvia nodded. Brothers, Orvunos, farm. That helps. “You know, I was actually planning on going to Orvunos to visit a friend. Perhaps you would like to tag along with me?” she asked.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

“Well..:”she thought for a moment, then nodded. “I guess. I mean travelling alone can be kinda boring?”

[aphmonacobenoit]

She smiled. “That was exactly my line of thinking mon ami. So, what brought you over here? It is a long trip for someone of your age from Orvunos. You must be very brave to come here alone,” she said.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

She looked to the side and shrugged, poking around in her food with the fork. “Dunno. I just…like to run around and explore things I guess?” She huffed lightly. “If that makes sense.”

[aphmonacobenoit]

“Is that how you ended up here?” she asked gently. “Also, how is your food? You looked like you were hungry earlier.”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Well,that left out the whole ‘sneaking on a boat’ thing.”Well,thats basically it.” She shrugged, and continued eating. “Its really good!”

[aphmonacobenoit]

Sylvia grinned. “Good enough to skip dessert?” she teased, trying to puzzle the child’s story together. So maybe she isn’t a runaway…just a little explorer that accidentally wandered a bit too far…

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

She gasped at Sylvia, before pouting. “What? no! we can’t just skip dessert! dessert is the most important part of a meal.” Well…okay it wasn’t, but who would skip out on dessert?

[aphmonacobenoit]

“I completely agree,” said Sylvia seriously, handing her the menu. “So the real question is, do we get one dessert or two? You know, just in case we need a snack before we get on the boat,” she said with a small smile.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy took the menu and looked at it with the most serious look on her face. “So like. We could have one dessert for eating here and one for eating at the boat?”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

“ oh, you can’t let them win, stop that. ”

Wendy only reacted to that with pulling her legs closer to her chest and burying her gave in her knees, brooding even more than before. “They are right though. Other sprites my age are already able to use some of their magic, only I’m not able to. I’m probably never be able to use it at all if this goes on.”

[natalia-the-pearl-blog]

Wendy let out a sigh and shrugged. “Well, I guess. Would still be nice to have my magic sooner than later…”

Natalia put her head in her hands as she leaned forward to listen to the girl, “why? what good would it do to have magic now rather than later?”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy shrugged. “Dunno. I could get more practice in with using it I guess.”

[autumn-pixie-hera-blog]

Wendy followed him back, slightly poking at her hair. It wasn’t completly frozen up yet, which was good. Having water as hair was really annoying from time to time.

She looked at him with bright eyes. “Are there are a lot of different sprinkles?!”

“Oh, yes definitely. Anuipuk has this big festival every year where they make cookies. We’re all stocked up for that, but they won’t mind if we use some for hot chocolate. You can pick whichever colors you’d like.” He nodded, “if we do run out, I can go to the store for more, so it’s no problem.”

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

“Ohhh my brothers told me about that! I think they want to take me there the next time?” She grinned. “Sprinkles in lot of colors sound fun!”

So, that’s what they did. They waited, all the while Artem could feel himself growing more and more cold. Eyes shifted to the side to check Wendy, to see that she was nice and toasty. It was almost annoying. 

“I don’t think they’re coming this way,” he said, rising to his feet, “so come on, pass me my coat.” 

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy let out a sigh and nodded in agreement. “Apparently not. Though I do wonder where else they could be off too.” It was....totally untypical for her brothers to let her out of their sight like this, especially since there were so many people around and she easily could get lost (which is what happend.)

She almost didn’t want to let go of the coat due to the warmth it provided, but well, it was his, so she shrugged it off and handed it over to him.

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Like for a starter!

She shrugged. “I’m not sure. Guess the best way to warm them up would be to warm me up. But the fishes are kinda weird anyways, like, they don’t even need to eat you know? tho my brothers feed them anyways all the time. and I hate it. Can you imagine how annoying it is to get fish food out of hair that is mainly water?!”

Wendy thought for a moment, then nodded with a small grin. “Yeah. I’m really starting to freeze. and well, I guess they will notice that I’m gone soon enough, and would appreciate a hot chocolate!”

He nodded and started to lead the way back. He didn’t quite understand what she meant by them having hair that’s mainly water, but his hair was mainly leaves, so it wasn’t like he could judge.

“I will make plenty for everyone. You can be in charge of whipped cream and sprinkles.”

“Maybe they’ve sat down somewhere,” he supplied, taking in a sharp breath as he thought. Honestly, he thought that they would keep a particularly close eye on her, given that they were in such a busy place. Pirrelvag was a well-celebrated time in Anuipuk… busy… very busy… 

He hated it. 

“We’ll stay here a while and then go look for them, how does that sound?” he asked, flatly. 

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy shrugged. “Probably. Or maybe they noticed that I’m not with them and are searching for me while i was also searching and we just totally missed each other the whole time.” She huffed. The whole thing probably wouldnt have happend if she let herself be carried by James as hehad proposed but well. Not it was too late for such regrets anyways.

She nodded. “Sounds good. Maybe they come by and see us sitting here or something.”

Couldn’t they have choosen a warmer day, even her hair was freezing up. “There are so many people here that are taller than me that I lost track of them both…”

[niasucusercy-blog]

Hm, she looked cold… 

“Here,” he slipped his coat off, before dumping on top of her head, muttering thereafter, “get warm, can’t have you freezing up on me.” 

He then sat down next to her, pulling on the collar of his thick turtleneck jumper. In fact, he was a little too warm; he supposed walking around looking for people could get you all worked up. 

“Where did you last see them?” 

[tiniestwatersprite-blog]

Wendy squeaked in surprise when he dumped his coat on her, but wrapped around herself anyways, seeing as it was still warm. It looked ridiculous, the tiny sprite wrapped up in an coat that was way too big, and made it look as if she was drowning in it. But she was thankfull for the warmth the coat provided.

“Well…” she thought for a moment. Where HAD she seen them the last? “Uh…I think they talked about getting something to eat, but I searched all the food stands and they weren’t there.” She pouted slightly.
