"That's not a bad idea, we need to get going soon anyway." Wren gave a nod. "Hana ? Come here, we need to get going soon, sweetheart."
The butterfly girl poked her head over the fort wall. "But... fort !"
"It's a very strong fort, I am quite sure it will keeps the treasure safe even if you two arn't there. Alice's mommy wants to take a picture and then we have to go see aunt Zero, remember ?"
The butterfly girl pondered this turn of events. Aunt Zero meant sweets and cousin Sei and Aylen. But... the fort ! And Alice !
She glanced at her partner in crime, as if seeking advice in her inner dillemia.

Alice was also reluctant. They had a responsibility to protect the snowman's treasure but at the same time mummy didn't tell her to do things which would be bad.
Kiri smiled at the two girls. "You know Snowmen can't move if people are around to see them do so. The fort will keep his treasure nice and safe but he won't be able to come and collect them if we're all here. Also if I get Hana's daddy's phone number I can tell him when the pictures are ready and maybe Alice can come around and delivery them." She figured that would probably cover the two main points of dillemia.
Alice looked back at Hana, it didn't look like they had a choice and it sounded like they would need to leave before the snowman came for his treasure. Slowly she got up.

Oh, so -that- was why she'd never saw one move !
Mystery solved.
Hana got up as the puppy girl did, glancing backward for a moment to make sure the hat and scarf where indeed still there and safe before making her way out of the fort and glancing at the small hill that had build onto.
...
It was a decent slope...
"WHHEEE !" The butterfly girl lauched herself off, sliding the whole way down.

Alice carefully left the fort too, it wouldn't do for it to be damaged now after all that work. She watched as Hana slid down the hill. That looked like fun so she tried to follow suit.
Unfortunately her clothes weren't as slipery as Hana's so she kinda half slid half rolled/bumped down the hill, landing rather dazed at the bottom. Getting to her feet she paused to regain the ability to focus on things.
Kiri looked on in amusement, she'd seen both her daughter and sister perform worse feats in the past so wasn't about to worry about Alice's less than graceful descent. If she got up then she was fine. Grabbing her camera she lined the two girls and the fort in the background up and took multiple photos, this way atleast one would probably come out fine.
Photos taking she smiled at Wren, I'll just get your number and then I think I'd better get this little one home for afternoon tea." She took out the small sketchpad she took everywhere and turned to a new page, offering pencil and pad to Wren.

Wren wrote down his number on the page, then gave the sketchbook back to Kiri, scooping up Hana in his arms and letting her lean against his shoulder.
"Ill do something similar myself, I think this one is starting to get due for her afternoon nap." He said with a grin.
"s'not." Hana pouted in reply, trying to look as dejected as she could, which made Wren laugh. She wasn't very convincing, at least not yet.
"Guess ill see you, then ? Feel free to call whenever, that's my cellphone and it's always on. Now, let's get going, shall we ?"
"'ye Alice !" Hana gave a wave as the blue haired man and his tiny charge went on their way.

Smiling and bouncing now that she had her balance back Alice waved back pleased at having made a new friend.
Kiri smiled and waved too before taking Alice by the hand and heading off in the direction of her own home. It was nice for Alice to meet new people.
