With Lissa willing to meet some of their friend, Henry wasted no time, only stopping by the kitchens to put some tidbits in a small sack. A few eggs, pieces of meat, a bottle of milk, peas, and grain went into the bag before Henry carefully made their way out of camp with Lissa in tow.

A few calls and the local flock settled around the nearby trees, only a few enterprising fowl strutting near in curiosity.

"Okay Lissa, these are my friends! Would you like to say hello?"

"That sounds fun! What kind of an arm you got?" Lissa definitely had the upper hand, but maybe Henry's throwing would be more precise, what with the magic and all.

"Yes!" Howell cried out happily, knowing this word! Yes, Yes, Henry taught her that early on, she totally got this!

[partyhats]

"I've got it pretty well practiced, and I've been putting on some muscle wielding axes too," she flexed unimpressively.

"Yes, huh? You're having fun."

[carryon_crow]

"Wow, you are strong! Nothing like me, nyahaha! But I bet I could get a better lay of the land than you."

Henry gave appreciative oohs as they felt her bicep. Not as impressive as some powerhouses like Sully or Sumia, of course, but Lissa had a very respectable arm! They'd have to be quick on their feet and use the terrain to their advantage if they wanted to hit her.

Howell bobbed her head as she enjoyed herself. "Yes! Yes! Exchuse me! Hower yoooou!"

[partyhats]

Muscles weren't cute but - well, no one had remarked on her being less cute for being able to fight, and protecting herself and her friends was important. It was worth it. "Don't worry, I'll just knock a few heads if they get too close to you." ...probably not strong enough to talk like that though, and she laughed a little.

"So, I'd say I'm feeling very good right now."

[carryon_crow]

"Oh, oh, we should make teams! Together we can pelt everyone else with snow!"

Enchanting the snowballs to follow people would probably be cheating, but with Lissa's expertise Henry wouldn't need to resort to magic! Maybe they could convince the tactician to make a little detour if Henry and Lissa framed it as a mock battle?

Howell, having used up her words, croaked happily and fluttered by Lissa's side.

[partyhats]

"We could take twice our number for sure." ...until everyone figured out their gimmick anyways.

Lissa held a hand out to Howell, curious.

sorry for the delay, everyone in my family got sick one after the other

[carryon_crow]

"Yeah!! Then we'd win and get extra dessert for a week! ...Better have Gaius on our team."

Even with enchanted snowballs, Henry didn't think their strongest hex could get between the thief and his sweets.

Howell gently pecks at her fingers, seeing if there's any treats inside, before hopping up to sit on her forearm.

sounds rough

[partyhats]

"He'd fight like ten men if that was the deal."

There are no treats - only arm.

Re: sounds rough

[carryon_crow]

"Exactly! I'd sacrifice my dessert to have him on our team! No big loss"

For now Howell is content on her perch, cozened up to the new human.
