I smile as I set the crystal aside. I head to the solarium.

"Good news, hon. Aro just had his baby.  And, apparently, he's paying for Gemmi's..."

I look up to see Gemmi in Regina's lap. Gemmi's clothes are completely frozen stiff and Regina is having to pry them off. Gemmi looks up and smiles as I walk in. "Hi, Daddy!" Dripping Icicles hang off her ears.

I stare for a moment. "What on earth...what the heck happened??"

"Aegis was taking Gemmi for a ride," Regina says in an unamused tone, "And says she "slipped" out of her talons and, as luck would have it, Gemmi cannonballed through the ice of the frozen stock pond out east." She breaks off Gemmi's scarf.

"...I see. And was that Aegis' side of the story?"

"Naturally." Regina stokes the fire.

I look to Gemmi. "What happened, sweetheart?"

"Aegis said I could pwobabwy bweak the ice of the pond, and since my hot and cold sensows awen't on yet, I said I would twy!"

"And she let you."

"Yep!"

I turn and begin to leave. "We may have to wait a few years for that offer of education, because Aegis is going to be getting quite the education when she gets home."
