Aetheria had been at home all day long. She hadn't even bothered to get out of her pajamas. After getting lost in town, she hadn't exactly been motivated to leave the house; in fact, Aetheria didn't see herself doing so without a member of her family any time soon. The feeling of being alone, save for Kiana, was almost more than she could bear. Sure, it hadn't lasted longer than a few moments, and the experience had left her with a new friend, but she would prefer not to go through that again. Best to leave those worries in the past along with the memories. An air elemental stuck in a house was truly a horrible thing.

Aetheria continued her journey until she caught sight of her mother. She bounced up to her, purposefully making noise as she did so as to not startle Diana when she suddenly showed up next to her. Too many times had Aetheria entered a room, innocently trying to greet someone, only to scare the living daylights out of them. "Hello mother," Aetheria whispered before she leaned down to press a kiss on her mother's cheek. Of course vocalizing her words was unpleasant, but the important things were worth it to say; greeting her mother was one of those things. Holding the plastic bag with her teeth, Aetheria reached into the single pocket of her pajama shorts for the small notebook she always kept on her at home. 'What are you doing today?'
