Were they adventurers? Or children of adventurers? Some of the children seemed to be ... floating?Vennoa peered a little more closely. The children ap...peared to be drinking some sort of potion, and then start floating. Well, not all of them. Some of the children started bouncing, at a higher frequency and greater height than a regular child’s bouncing. And yet others changed colors.

When it's just the two of us, we eat on the stools that run along the counter, between the kitchen and the living room.
