I13DT - Surprise Party

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Sara is in the kitchen, preparing a bunch of food while also keeping an eye on Robin playing in the living room through the open door.

"Hi!" she says, temporarily losing interest in the little hammer bench thing that she's been hitting with the hammer that her arm seems to end in. "I'm Wobbim!"

Kevin stepped in and went to the kitchen, carrying a bottle of wine.

"Wasn't sure if I should bring anything, so here's some fancy booze," he said, holding the bottle up.

"Me! Me!" she says and scrunches up her face and futzing through her own hair with her fingers. It does nothing except mess up her hair a little.

Bear knocked and entered, knowing Sara would just tell her the door was open anyway.

"Where's my favorite little girl?" She asked, smiling when she saw Laura and Robin playing together.

With a big smile, she pulled out a brightly hand painted ball, with a soft, safe outer finish.

"For you." She said grinning and standing back up.

"You're welcome!" Bear replied, reaching down and giving Robin a hug.

After a few moments, the ball would roll to a stop before returning to robin's feet, avoiding any obstacles in the way.

Bear stood back up, moving to join Sara to the side.

"Modified boomerang ball. Totally deweaponized, I promise."

"I guess that sort of destruction is inevitable, eventually."

Bear smiled, giving Sara a hug.

"Thanks for the invitation."
