The painting started to fall but was intercepted by the golem who promptly tossed the offending picture into the wall.  Veronica watched it all happen with wide eyes, especially after seeing the painting get embeded in the far wall.  While it was quite impressive to witness, it was not however exactly out of the ordinary so Veronica quickly snapped out of it.  [color=f49ac2]"Thanks Gear Heart, you're the best."[/color]

Veronica happily picked the poppy the golem handed to her and then turned toward Jack and Noella.  [color=f49ac2]"Hello Jack, Noella, don't worry, Gear Heart helped me."[/color]  She took another look around and squinted her eyes, noticing Lance the elf as he entered the room to see what had happened.  [color=f49ac2]"I see you guys are all here, but where is everyone else?  It seemed quite lonely in here until you all showed up."[/color]  Veronica twirled the poppy in front of her nose, got it a little too close so it started to tickle her and promptly sneezed, right in Jack's direction.

Veronica's cheeks flushed a bit when she realized she had just sprayed Jack with her sneeze.  [color=f49ac2]"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."[/color]

The main butler of the household, an elderly gentleman named James, entered the room, thankfully drawing attention away from her.  "Excuse me Miss Veronica, but I do believe your father is driving up in his carriage as we speak.  I knew that you would want to know right away."

At that wonderful news, Veronica's eyes lit up and she could not help but start running around the room, forgetting about poor Jack.  [color=f49ac2]"Dad's back, dad's back!"[/color]  The ribbon in her hair bounced along as she hopped around the room.  She suddenly stopped in the middle and looked around at everyone.  She appeared to be pondering something as she cocked her head to the side slightly, nodded to herself, then straightened up.

[color=f49ac2]"Can someone carry me to the front door?"[/color]  She was definitely a bit on the spoiled side, as she raised up her arms, expecting one of them to carry her to meet her father.
