Steph is helping Hana walk!

There are big grins on both faces. Hana because LOOK LOOK SHE'S A BIG GIRL LOOK EEEE FOOTS ON GROUND! - and Steph because eeeeeee babies, she's missed them.

Up and down the corridor, up and down. Probably in everyone's way, but look at how cute the little Fire baby is! How could you mind?

Steph beams at him. "I wish! Nope, she's Mel's. Her name's Hana, and mine's Steph. How're you?"

"I'm Will, dinna think I know a Mel. Know a Marley an a Val though."

Steph grins at him and makes Hana wave with one little hand. Hana babbles up at them happily, and then performs a tiny little baby-sneeze.

A spark and a wisp of smoke emerge from her nose.

"I've met Val, I ... think," Steph says doubtfully. "Maybe. Mel and the girls just got here last night, though."

"Oh aye, Kate, Sam, Venom an I were off in San Francisco for 'bout a week so probably just missed 'er."

Kneeling down 'urts a lot but Will still does to wave a hand at Hana and laugh at the sneeze,

"Lass 'as an 'mpressive sneeze."

"Cool." Steph grins, at his praise for Hana. Best baby ever.

Hana stares at Will, and then promptly grabs for his nose with surprisingly strong little hands. "BAAAAA!"

"What was San Francisco like? I mean, New York's pretty wrecked."

That gets another laugh from Will though he looks more at Hana than Steph when he answers,

"Trapped in Winter, a Fae Queen 'as claimed it, was damn 'ard fight gettin' out an they took Kate for a time, got 'er back safe though."

"Oooh, ouch." Steph sounds sympathetic.

Hana tugs Will's nose, delightedly, and then flings her other arm around to bash his shoulder. "DEE DEE BOO!"

The bashing on his shoulder makes Will visibly wince and reopens a scab but he just does his best to smile,

"Aye, wasna good, but we're safe an made Kate smile."

After wincing, he turns a little pale and then blushes thinking about kissing Kate on the couch, its a rather odd color combination.

"C'mere, baby, don't do that," Steph suggests, eyeing the hint of fresh blood on Will's shoulder. Hana giggles and thumps for his chest, squealing with delight.

"...sorry," Steph says, once she's restrained the squirmy wiggly toddler -- who promptly tries to climb up Steph's back by pulling her hair. "Are you okay? You're going funny colours."

"Tis fine, just some injuries from 'ome that the fight opened up. Lass surprised me was all."

He grins at the thump on his chest which doesn't hurt and shakes his red hair for her,

"Just things are still new with Kate is all, makes me all nervous."

Hana squeals again gleefully, lunging free of Steph's arms to grab at the red hair with both hands. It's pretty!

Steph laughs. "Yeah? Cool. Tell me about her, go on." He obviously seems to want to.

Another laugh from Will,

"Glad ye like my 'air, lass, gotten me in 'nough trouble in Nottingham. She's lovely, dark 'air, eyes that seem to 'old truth an she just 'as the bravest, kindest 'eart o'any woman I know other than Marian o'course."

Steph grins. Someone sounds like a total sap. She's glad she's not like that over anyone.

... not that she would be.

Further thoughts on this matter are brought to a crashing halt when Hana sneezes again, complete with sparks and heat ... right into Will's hair.

...he doesn't mind having, literally, flaming hair, does he?

Will is a total sap but its much better than angsting. Though he's currently trying to put his hair out and cursing,

"Bloody 'ell, that's powerful magic for a wee lass!"

Steph is flailing about for a fire extuingisher, or anything; after a moment she runs into the kitchen and returns with a glass of water in each hand.

"I'm so sorry! Hold still!"

Hana, it might be noted, thinks this is hilarious. She's giggling and squealing and kicking her legs with joy. OH THE STORIES SHE'LL HAVE TO TELL HER SISTER!

Holding still is easy enough to do though he braces a bit more than needed for water but he'll manage, fire needs to be out.

SPLASH.

Hana stops laughing abruptly and wails in protest. "Baaaaaaa, S'ephie! Faaaaa!"

But at least the fire's out? Even if Will's a little bit damp?

"Hana-boo," Steph says sternly, scooping up the adorable little Firebender, "no. Gotta have control, right? Like Mommy says!"

Will wincing again at the water, perhaps a little more than expected but that's alright and shakes his head to try and get some of the water off,

"Ne'er seen a child 'ave such magic 'fore."

"It's not magic," Steph says, with a faint smile for how many times she's been told this, "it's Bending. It's just something they do. I'm so sorry, I should have been watching her. Are you okay?"

"Oh aye, I'm fine, 'ad worse in Sherwood. Bendin', like that lass Toph was doin' when she made the 'ouse?

"Yes!" Steph beams, looking up. "Toph's here? I met her in Eden!"

"Na sure where Eden is, but aye, blind lass with an almighty temper?"

"I didn't know her all that well." Steph grins, bouncing Hana in her arms and laughing when the little girl tries to eat Steph's blonde plait. "It'll be great to see her anyway. It's so weird, hopping worlds and getting to meet people you knew before."

"Oh aye? Ne'er done such a thing 'fore I fell 'ere. Where'd ye start out from then?"

"Gotham," Steph says, grinning, and is echoed by Hana, who's lunging at Will's hair again.

"Gofa!"

Apparently, Will's hair is a big attraction. It was so pretty when it was on fire!

"I landed in this bizarre other world, Eden, where I met Sokka and Mel and these guys -- Hana and her twin sister, they're Mel's kids."
