Annie is on her trike on her way to school.
This van labeled HAZARDOUS MATERIALS is also on its way to school.
The van hits a patch of black ice. It goes spinning, it turns over, it slices itself open on a wrought-iron fence with spikes, and it disgorges boxes which smash open on the pavement. Some of them skitter clear into the slush.
Some of them - along with most of the van - land on Annie.
There is a whirl of bewildering pain and confusion -
- and she falls to the ground, injured and in more kinds of discomfort beyond that and moaning.
She slowly starts to heal before the eyes of her sole witness.

Occasional advice from Caridin! But mostly he appears to be working on designing a functional bicycle.

Well, then, that will be a very nice way for them to pass the rest of the day.
Stalas pops in around midafternoon and seeks out Annie for a hug.
"The Legionnaires are very excited about the first reports from the front line describing how darkspawn react to being summarily disintegrated. No new rumours since the one about me being secretly Aeducan himself. The announcement about our betrothal should go out this evening. It's not huge news, but people who pay attention to this sort of thing will notice."

Hug! "I made a friend and a lot of amulets and Caridin made a bicycle."

"And tomorrow I'll bring her back here so she can quiz Caridin on golems."

"That sounds like fun. So, is now a good time to interrupt your work?"

She likes practicing sign language! ...But not enough not to interrupt him a lot.

Causing Annie to interrupt him is really a lot of the point of practicing sign language.

Good, then she doesn't have to feel guilty about it.
"Is anyone going to want to verify with me that we're betrothed or is it just assumed that you wouldn't make that up?" she wonders, when talking is less of an incongruous activity than it would be during sign language practice proper.

"Making it up would just make me look like a huge idiot when you failed to show up to the wedding, so," he shrugs, "you might get some people obnoxiously asking you if you're really going to marry me just because it's so weird, but as far as the formal announcement they assume that if I wasn't sure about it I wouldn't be telling everybody."

Snuggle. "I've noticed. I hope that's not too flippant a response, by the way."
first-and-final
"You really don't." Hug. Kiss. "I appreciate that you're so easily delighted. And that being easy doesn't make it any less satisfying."

"The mere fact that you're trying to make me happy makes me happy," she says, snuggling up.

Snuggle! Snuggles are so good and Stalas is so good and she gets to snuggle Stalas.
