“Estrella’s making a page for people that the muses know! I’ll be on it!”

“She’s been working on it for a while, actually. Elias told us all about it!”

“I hope I’ll be listed.”

“You will! Coach Grisha too. Mr. and Mrs. Sobakin, Elias’s parents, Matryona and Vasillisa, and Brencis and I, and...”

“I think that’s all.”

“What about my parents?”

🤔🤔

I’ll put a link to their wiki pages when I finish writing the descriptions for everyone else

“What are we making?”

“Blini! It’s Aleksei’s favorite.”

“Speaking of Aleksei, where is he?”

“We kicked him out.”

...?!

“Just until the afternoon, so he doesn’t get in the way.”

“And it’s his birthday! We want it to be a surprise.”

"Aleksei, come join with us watching the fireworks! It's about to start." The caretaker waved her hand at him, inviting him with the rest of the children. Prior to this, Amy already prepared seats outside for them, and there was an extra spot available.

"Really? I’m gonna do get Matryona and Vasillisa!” Aleksei cheered, and scampered off. 

He came back a few minutes later, Matryona and Vasillisa in tow. Once all the children had found their seats, Aleksei noticed that one was empty. 

And it seemed Matryona had noticed it too. “Who’s the empty spot for?”

“Catch!” Aleksei yelled at Matryona. He reeled back and flung the snowball as hard as he could.

But it flew over her head... Right into the face of a passerby.

“EEK! S-sorry! Th-that wasn’t m-me-meant to h-hit you!”
