N: After a couple hours, when the sun had been up for a while, voices could be heard down the corridor. As they approached the dining room, it became clear that it was Helena and Niko's voices, and the former was telling the latter about the wonders of cereal.

"It was so nice," she giggled, "and it was like a cold soup."

"That sounds weird," the Saxon frowned.

"Just trust me. Derogan made it for me and we can see if he's in here-"

The young girl froze the moment she saw Stella, unfamiliar with the country, and just stepped closer to the Saxon boy, who was staring at the country.

"Who are you," he asked.


M: Stella turned to the children and smiled, crouching down so she wouldn't be so scary, "Hey there, my name is Stella, my dad is Mandara Army.  You guys are Helena and Nikolaus aren't you, I guess that means we're technically cousins."

She reached into her pocket and put on her eye patch, hoping that covering her entity eye would help make her look less intimidating, "you can come over, I don't bite."


N: The pair did take a couple of steps, and while Helena was a bit more cautious, Niko tilted his head in confusion.

"You don't look like Zalia and Johann," he bluntly stated, and after a moment he added, "but you're nicer than Zalia."

Helena nodded before turning to Stella, "could you help us make cereal? Niko needs to try it," which got a grumble from the Saxon.


M: "Sure, I can help with that," the country agreed, "and I get what you mean about Zal, I promise that she'll soften up the longer you guys are here."

She stood and went to the kitchen to make the children some cereal, as well as an egg sandwich for herself.

"I'm much older than my siblings, so that's why I look different," Stella explained the previous statement, "granted Eclipse is technically older than me but we all agree that he is the second oldest of us, the twins are the youngest, and because they are twins they look the same, does that about clarify things?"


N: "I guess," Niko shrugged, "but Onkel Johann said that Johann and Zalia's flag is a mix of Derogan and Belarus, but your flag is different-"

"Remember, Papa also said that countries can change their flags, just like what Uncles Derogan and Mandara did," Helena interrupted, "so maybe Stella likes blue and yellow."

Niko didn't say anything, which the young girl took as a cue to usher him to the dining room once Stella had made herself her sandwich, eager for her friend to try out cereal for the first time.


M: All Stella could do was just smile awkwardly as Niko tried to make sense of her flag, she really didn't want to tell them why her flag was different, she prayed to god that they wouldn't go poking around in a countries book or something.  She quietly followed them out to the table and just silently ate her food, feeling a little self-conscious now and didn't really feel like talking anymore.


N: While Stella ate, Niko, after having to deal with Helena's pestering, finally gave in and tasted his cereal, and much to Ella's delight, he loved it. The pair then just quietly ate their breakfast, enjoying what they believed was essentially a delicacy.

After an hour or so, Johann walked into the room with his usual cup of coffee, although he was initially confused at the sight of the country.

"This is Stella; she's Derogan's daughter," Helena quickly piped up when she saw her father, "and she made us cereal."
