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?

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."

"Met man 'ere from Gotham, Gordon think 'is name is. 'ome for me is Nottingham in the reign o'Richard the Lion'earted."

He just laughs, swinging his hair again, Hana's a good distraction from missing home.

Hana seems to think so. She leans forward with a determined expression on her chubby little lips and tries very hard to cough at it again.

"No!" yelps Steph, steering her away just in time to rescue Will's now-soggy hair from any further combustion. "No, Hana-boo! Control!"

Hana pouts, until Steph bumps her up and down and makes her giggle again.

"Really?" she asks Will, Firebaby under control. "Cool. Yeah, Gordon came here with us -- we found him in this world's Gotham." She looks glum at that, but only briefly. "It's not in good shape, Gotham."

"Gofa!" Hana agrees again, happily.

"Oh aye, few places in this world seem well, makes me 'fraid to see what's left o'Sherwood though know she'd change a lot after all these worlds. Isna e'en my world but miss Sherwood."

He reaches a hand forward to touch Hana's face,

"Wee lass, ye're goin' to do a power o'good just by bein'."

Steph nods, fondly, and laughs when Hana giggles and tries to bite Will's hand.

"Yeah," Steph agrees, with a grimace. "But it's better than the other world I was in, I guess."

"What was that one like, this one seems 'ard 'nough."

He just barely moves his hand out of the way, finally took the bandages off so no cloth for her to grab at.

"Ah, that one was no fun." Steph restrains Hana, laughing at the tiny girl's pout. "This one's heaps better. What happened to your hands?"

He pulls his shirt sleeve down a bit,

"Just got 'urt in Nottingham, 'ave 'ealed up a good bit."

She nods, wrinkling her nose. "Good. I'm pretty good at first aid, if you need anything."

"Oh tis fine, fight opened some things up but I'm stayin' quiet an will be fine."

Steph nods; she has no reason to disbelieve him. Hana looks up at him anxiously.

"Booboo?" she asks seriously.

That just makes him grin and he leans forward, which hurts but he grins to hide it,

"Aye, lass just a booboo, I'm always gettin' into trouble."

Hana leans forward, unsteady on chubby toddler legs, to plant a big wet kiss on the boo-boo.

"Unc' kistbetta!" she declares happily.

Steph grins. "That's what her uncle says when Hana has a boo-boo, so she thinks it's what everyone says."

"Aye, ye've made it all better lass."

His grin just keeps getting wider as he gives her a kiss on the forehead.

Steph grins. She'd agree completely that the Fray girls are the cure for everything in the universe.

(Even if they do sometimes set fire to people's hair.)

Hana giggles at Will, thinking him hilarious. "Baaa eee doo?" she enquires.

What's a bit of fire between friends? Hana gets her nose bopped,

"I've na idea what ye just said, lass, but ye've done me a world o'good."

Hana blinks, looks at her nose, and then looks back at Will with affronted golden eyes.

"...waaaOOOOOW!?"

Steph tries to hide a laugh as she gathers the girl up. "Hana-boo, quit that. He's being friendly!"
