Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

[Estrella Drage]

Estrella wasn't exactly captivated with her in-laws. Four months of separation from Jaken had increased her bitterness for Styx and his clan. However, she was certain Nicolette didn't have much of a hand in the whole situation. Besides, it was her father-in-law that had angered Estrella. She finally decided to honor Nicolette's invitation to visit. With Olivia and Lydia in tow, the former Ravenclaw arrived at the family's manor. Without someone to guide her, the brunette was prone to lose herself in the estate's hallways and chambers.

Olivia broke from her mother at the first opportunity. The toddler gunned away on chubby legs, disappearing into a room before Estrella could even holler at her. She would have never been able to locate her daughter if not for an explosion of giggles.

"Livvy- OLIVIA NAMINA, GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!"

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Random children wandering into the Styx Manor, this was something that Nicolette was definitely not expected so when some random small children bounded into the kitchen quote fast for someone her age she jumped in surprise. It was not everyday someone wandered into the kitchen other than her own children, the House-elves, or occasionally her own husband. "Why heey there, kiddo." Nicolette asked as she approached the small child, just looking at such a pretty girl made her with that once again she had her own daughter. Three sons wans't what she expected but she still loved them so much, she still had Kailie, and all her 'grandchildren' to spoil with girly things anyways. Shifting her golden eyes to make sure Nicolas wasn't around to throw a fit when he saw this and walked back over to the counter before she retrieved a warm and still chewy chocolate chip cookie. No one in the house really ate them except for her, Patricia, and sometimes Nicolas. The rest of the family were pretty much anti-sweets on her and they refused to eat anything sugary she made for them. When Nicolette heard the sound of a woman yelling the name of the girl she raise an eyebrow before she poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled softly.

"Hey Estrella! Olivia's in here gobbling down a cookie, I hope you don't mind that I gave her one. Come on in, did you need anything or did you finally decide to stop by and visit me?" Nicolette motioned for Estrella to follow her into the kitchen, the school was currently in session as far as Nicolette knew so Kalif most likely wasn't around the Manor right now if thats what Estrella needed. It sometimes got really lonely here when the kids were all asleep and stuff, she had no idea what she was going to do when they all got too old on her and weren't there anymore. Maybe if Estrella stuck around long enough she would get a glimpse of the twins running around. The only way to see Bothizar was if she asked to see him because he could not walk yet, in a moment or two Nicolette was going to be tempted to ask if she could see the other little baby Estrella had with her..she loved holding babies.

Olivia was all too eager to take the cookie. Smiling sweetly at her grandmother, the toddler crawled under the table, nibbling at her prize. She was much like a squirrel with a walnut. If anyone attempted to steal her winnings, she just might attack. She crossed her legs and hid in her fortress, spying on her potential enemies. The chocolate painting her fingers and face was worth an upcoming trip to the bath.

Estrella followed Nicolette, glancing around the kitchen for her daughter. She would swear up and down that Olivia's security blanket was an invisibility cloak if she didn't know any better. "Nah, I don't mind. Someone has to cater to her sweet tooth. She'll turn into a whackjob otherwise," the brunette laughed. Jaken and most of his family fancied themselves to be self-taught nutritionists. His wife was not about to let their daughters be corrupted by cake-haters and lollipop-doubters.

Lydia fussed in her sleep. The infant was more than comfortable in her basket; a herd of manticores wouldn't have woken her. Estrella looked from her baby to her mother-in-law. It was better to answer her inquiry later than never. "We're visiting; and besides, I haven't met Bothizar yet."
