Through the third portal came an unfamiliar young woman wearing an elegant blue dress and a plain red Santa cap. Although she remained mostly expressionless as she quietly observed her nearby surroundings,  the girls whom she glanced over would feel an overwhelming strength of will radiating from her as she did so. She would take a few steps forward before her eyes came to rest on the very girl that had wished for her return, Hilaria. 

[color=F65772]"Stien...?"[/color] Hilaria barely had a voice as she called out to the girl in pure disbelief. The moment was a rare one, as the emotion on Hilaria's face was genuine, rather than the whimsical, fabricated norm. Tears began to form in her eyes. 

The blue-clad girl took a careful step forward, seemingly unmoved by the imminent mess Hilaria was presumably about to become. Hilaria would pitifully call her name twice more between sobs before Stien's expression snapped into a smirk in less than a second, and she disappeared from sight in even less time with a loud crack that was reminiscent of thunder to a degree, and more than enough to startle the skittish and rattle nearby items.

A loud, hearty roar of laughter erupted from beneath Hilaria, who was now partially suspended in the air thanks to an effortless bear hug Stien was giving her. The act had knocked any and all air out of the knight's lungs and so she gasped for air when she was finally released, earning a loud slap on the back from an amused Stien, who laughed yet again. 

[color=#0E38D1]"Do you persist only to spite those who believe with time comes change, Wisa? Centuries its been! Yet your impression of a baby chick is as flawless as ever!"[/color]

Hilaria took a few more moments to gather back the air stolen from her lungs before shaking her head fervently. [color=F65772]"H-Hilaria isn't a baby chick...!"[/color]

[color=#0E38D1]"Hard to believe when you're narrating your own dialogue and forgetting your name! Fwaha! Have you suffered a head injury, perhaps?"[/color] Stien seemed to be having the time of her life, and Hilaria began to redden in embarrassment. [color=#0E38D1]"Tell me! Why have you adopted a pseudonym, Helewisa? Noble that action is not!"[/color]

Hilaria sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck. [color=F65772]"U-um, well... Hilaria did forget her na--"[/color]

[color=#0E38D1]"FWAHAHA! SO YOU TRULY DID!"[/color] Stien slapped her knee. [color=#0E38D1]"What a joy! Then allow me to solve the riddle of why you're speaking as you are! Is it because you think you'll do the same thing again?"[/color]

[color=F65772]"Ye--"[/color]

[color=#0E38D1]"FWAHAHAHA!"[/color]

Stien took a few more moments before she calmed down enough to speak again. [color=#0E38D1]"I have been here not five minutes and already you've blessed me with a wonderful time! Are you trying to make up for time lost? Shall I reward you?"[/color] she asked, leaning closer to Helewisa, a coquettish grin forming before she planted a firm kiss on the knight's lips. [color=#0E38D1]"Were this a more private reunion I would grant you more, but we'll just have to make up for it through other means."[/color] 

Helewisa was blushing profusely by this point but nodded. [color=F65772]"Um, there's some things going on. We could try catching things, join the snowball fights, sled, or even have a competition to make a snowman."[/color] Wisa informed Stien, who thought for a moment. 

[color=#0E38D1]"They all sound so delightful. But that's to be expected when you're with the one you love, so normally I would care not what we do. However..."[/color] Stien managed to catch a glimpse at the intense snow fort battle taking place. It clearly piqued her interest. [color=#0E38D1]"Shall we start with that? A test of physical prowess amongst other party-goers sounds like it would bring much joy!"[/color]

[color=F65772]"...sure! I would love to."[/color] Helewisa agreed, a small yet warm smile finding its way onto her features. 

Moments later, a loud, boisterous laugh preceded the sudden launching of snowballs at any and all other competitors. [color=#0E38D1]"FWAHAHAHA, WE DESCEND!"[/color] And so, Helewisa and "Justine" joined the snowball fight.
