Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle.
"Starfall?" Her head tilts again, red hair framing the glowing curiosity in her eyes. A place few people have been? With buried answers? And bad wuwu? Kai's pressing every button that sends her thoughts spinning, excitement coiling in the hop of her steps. Knell looks very much like she plans to run off right now, fingers reaching for his hand to bring him along. "We should go! Maybe they left clues!" They could solve the mystery of it all together!
Brownies are still fun, but she hums with the undercurrent of a puzzle to be completed, her smile running deeper than desserts. She follows him to the sign post, reaching up to touch the wood that reads 'Wildering House.' The magic grabs her and dumps them unceremoniously in front of the house. It takes a second for her brain to catch up, limbs flailing between awkward blinks before stumbling in the front door after Kai. She vaguely processes that they have strawberries - plus a lot of other toppings that might be good on brownies.
Then her attention finds its stability, a new grin taking hold when he suggests flower crowns. "Yeah!" Knell rushes forward to place her chin on the counter, looking at the hyacinths with a glittering gaze that waits impatiently for him to push them within her reach.

They read it to get to the end.
