"Ehh-!?" *Yvera flinched, and instinctively raised an arm to shield herself from an oncoming shower of slime. Clumpy apples chunks falling at her feet, and applesauce flying onto the sides of her dress. Which immediately froze solid, sticking to the seams of Yvera's cool, though delicate dress. Such a stain was the kind to stick around, fortunately, she wasn't all too attached to our Nach's latest addition of their wardrobe.*

*She took a step back, and sighed, relieved that this was the extent of their confrontation. Before slowly lowering her hand, and approaching the Apple Fairy with her aforementioned peace offering.* 

"Y-Yeah! It's yours, if you'd like.. It... Probably, won't melt, I think." *She handed her crystalline apple to the Apple Fairy, and the snow which crept along its side shimmered in the starlight.* "I'm still, very, very new to flying... It's a little different from walking everywhere, and honestly, it's like my wings have a mind of their own... Which... They might have knowing my Nach, I wouldn't put it past her..." *She stopped to think, furrowing her brow before sighing.* "Come to think of it... Why.. Why didn't I think of that sooner!? That's totally it!"

*It was not, she was just really bad at flying.* 

*She raised her hands in frustration, before simmering down soon after, her eyes and subsequently her attention drawn back toward the Apple Fairy.* "But I uhm... Wanted to talk with you, actually, I noticed you were flinging through the roots and I... Saw something in your hair. That flower, where'd you get it? If uhm, you don't mind my asking." *Yvera clutched her hands together, looking keenly interested in her newfound acquaintence and the familiar flower in her hair.* "O-Oh! Uhh... I'm Yvera, by the way... But.. I... I already said that though so, who're you then?"

She turned the apple in her hand absentmindedly as she watched Yvera begin to rant about her wings with some amusement. Mallie tilted her head curiously as the demigod in front of her dropped a name that she recognised from Fragarie's stories. "You're one of Auntie Nach's?" She grinned. She'd never met the goddess of chaos herself, but she figured that the deity would be fun based on what the Strawberry Maiden had relayed to the Ceres.

The question about the flower made her smile grow even wider, always happy to talk about her outfit. Gently, she reached up and slid it out of her hair, showing it off to Yvera. "You like it?" She bragged unsubtly, "This one's actually got a cool backstory, too! So a while back I was wandering Gamma Gaia's roots, and then I talked to this Uncle. He was kind of *Woo*, icy, kind of like you!" She spun it around in her hands. But then for some reason he decided to just explode in the middle of the conversation, and by the way, RUDE. Who goes and dies in the middle of a conversation?!" 

She seemed indignant. "Anyway, I knocked on the ground to complain to him about just DYING like that, because RUDE, and then this flower grew out of the ground." Yvera would find that the Apple Fairy was as very expressive storyteller, swinging her arms around in wide arcs to illustrate the impact of her words. "So now I wear it in my hair, because I think it looks pretty!" She put her fists on her waist, apparently proud of her sweet new accessory.

"Oh! My name is Mallie!" She added on as an afterthought. The *Uncle* Mentioned in the story could be her fallen father, especially given the icy description that Mallie had given, but from the sounds of it, the Apple Fairy didn't have anything to do with the death or even know why it had happened. She had her chest puffed out a little as she waited for the praise that she figured that her beautiful hair ornament would get. She didn't seem to realise that Yvera might be the fallen deity's daughter.

"I... Suppose." *Auntie? She supposed aunt was an apt descriptor for our Nach, although Yvera considered the Giggling Goddess less like family and more so someone to look after. The feeling was sort of mutual, as far as she could tell. Our Nach never once referred to the other gods as family, friends? Occasionally, creatures? Often, but family? Never, no, she referred to them more often than not as... Others. 

*She supposed that was reasonable, our Nach never met her father, and she's likely never met most of the other gods either. It's hard to call someone your family, if they're little more than a stranger.*

*But as the Apple Fairy recounted her tale of the family flower, Yvera's eyes went wide, and she clutched her hand tight to her chest. Her spine straightened up, and a cold, biting chill crawled through her skin. She hung on every one of Mallie's words, like she was gasping for air. She stood stiff and still, frozen in place, the world was practically still in her stead. Her gaze fixed solely upon the Apple Fairy, and she immediately lurched forward with an unbecoming intensity.* "Did you catch his name by any chance!? A-Anything? Did he say who he was, where he was from, what realm? What... W-What god was he of!?"

*Yvera grabbed Mallie by the shoulders, staring straight at her with an excited although frightened expression. Something she said had shaken her to her core, anxiety and anticipation was wracking through her...*

"Please I-! I... I'm sorry that's, this.. It's a lot and... I just need to know, Mallie, it's nice to meet you."
William
The sudden lurch forward caught the Fairy off guard. Mallie drew back a little as the demigod was suddenly far closer than she'd been moments before. The intensity certainly didn't help the Apple Fairy to feel less on the spot. She racked her brains for her memories on the encounter. It hadn't been significant enough for her to keep as a core memory, but she did her best to look back a couple months and remember if the deity had ever introduced himself. After a moment, Yvera could almost see the lightbulb going off in the mortal's head as Mallie remembered.

"Oh, right! It was uncle Ica!" She clapped her hands together, happy to have got it and not understanding the effect that it would likely have on her converastion partner. "He called himself... God of winter, ice, and snow?" She tilted her head. "You know, in retrospect, that *Does* Make the whole icy theme he had going on make sense." With her answer given, she slipped out of Yvera's grasp by turning her shoulders into apple sauce again while the rest of her body flew backwards a bit. "And, uh, the icy theme of this." 

She removed the flower from her hair once again, squinting at it. She hadn't really given much thought as to why the flower had come out all cold elementally, but now that she was really thinking about it, it was sort of obvious and she should definitely have realised it sooner. Despite the fact that Yvera was all ice elementally herself, the Apple Fairy actually hadn't put two and two together to realise the connection between the god she'd seen die months ago and the distraught demigod in front of her right now.

It took her a hot second to register the last thing that the demigod had said, but it eventually did as Mallie looked up. "It's nice to meet you too!" She said cheerily no matter what state teh demigoddess was in. Whether Yvera be prancing around in joy or having a panic attack, Mallie's greeting would be the exact same either way.
