Bella very carefully checked just how firewitchy her firstborn was before letting her do anything with hot glass - healing spells or no healing spells, getting burned is reportedly not fun - but now Carinna's allowed to play with the gooey warm stuff as much as she likes, provided she is careful not to get it under her fingernails where it would be hard to get out again. It's better than clay. It glows pretty - Carinna isn't firewitchy enough to heat it up again if it cools, but she can stick it in the fireplace and then pull it back out again whenever she likes. She sits on the floor next to Bella in Bella's workshop. Bella's making lenses. Carinna's making - something.
She thinks it's a pretty something! She holds it in place, covered in fingerprints and glowing bright, till it holds its own shape, and then she gets up and carries it out the door and runs around looking for Grandma Marianne. Where's Grandma Marianne?

"I'm gonna look for Tanalin in the kitchen next. Probably Sherlock's there," says Kiawen, and she turns right back to the door that was previously Milliways, and opens it to the stairs, and trots down briskly towards the kitchen.

"Tanaliiiiin," calls Kiawen as she approaches the kitchen. "You'll never guess what I foooooound..."
It's also not cheating to try to lure her sister out if she actually found something cool!

"Not Tanalin, yet," says Kiawen, leading visitors into the kitchen and peering into a cupboard. "Tanaliiiiin..."

Tanalin crawls out from under the table, stands up, and puts her hands on her hips.
"You found us extra parents," she accuses. "Did we not have enough of those already?"

"I'm sure you have plenty of parents," laughs Shell Bell softly. "We're not exactly that."

"We," says Shell Bell, with half an eye on the local Sherlock to gauge her reaction, "are alternate versions of your parents, from another world. There's lots of us, actually. More of me than anybody - the Bella who's your mom will be the thirteenth we've found."
