The adults mostly took over with the traveling. They were up front clearing a path through the snow, and there was a lot. Some of the older kids were having fun with it. they were sliding on the slick asphalt that was wet with the melting snow. Marta was holding hands with Gen and Ara, making sure they didn't slip and fall. It wasn't a long trip, so there wasn't really much to do on the way. They just padded on, trying to get there.
The warmth as they entered was a welcome feeling. Perhaps Liam had been right to avoid having a snowball fight. It was really cold. They knocked the snow off their boots and got out of their winter gear, the older kids helping the younger ones. Downstairs was the gym where they could continue their schoolwork and/or play. The lockers were down there.
The kids headed downstairs. The littles made it down quicker, as they were excited and not burdened with the winter gear. Marta smirked and shook her head. Kids would be kids. They were all surprised to see they weren't the first ones there though. Two twin girls and an adult woman were there, stretching on the mats. The kids seemed to know the twins, but Marta didn't recognize them.
She took the gear to the appropriate lockers and sat down to watch. One of the twins smelled wary. The woman smelled overwhelmed and surprised. The woman looked at Marta, her eyes locking on Marta's golden ones for a bit and her hands moved closer together and then she held them close to her chest as if she didn't know what to do with them. It seemed a little odd. It seemed like she wanted to disappear.
