She did feel herself growing rather hungry, she realized, as she wandered through, green eyes glancing at the faces present there before looking at the decorated tables. She'd have to hunt down Jorge and see if he wanted to get something to eat in a little bit maybe. If she could find a few minutes to sit down. Her eyes settled on a table obviously decked out for the Kestrals and she chuckled at the little leprechaun hopping around there. Lucky really was the best. She was glad he could come even if she was highly disappointed that none of the players from her favorite team opted to show up.
Was that.. Spanish she heard? Mariel stared at the leaping leprechaun a moment, her brain processing the child's voice, before turning in the direction of the sound. "Isa?" she spoke her surprise as she saw the young girl with the Wimbourne mascot. The 29 year old headed that way, her smile growing as she reached the girl and her mother. "Hola.. what are you doing here?" she asked in the bit of conversational Spanish she could speak. "Jorge didn't tell me you were coming," she added, slipping back into English as she glanced up at Cassandra with a wide smile. "What a nice surprise." Quote:

But as the girl bounced over, all thoughts about her previous slip up dissolved. He gave the girl a cheeky little stinger wiggle in response to her wave. Picture?! YES. Finally. Someone who appreciated him. The wasp nodded EXTRA enthusiastically, looking towards the 'mummy' in mention.
Sting extended his WASP-Y hands out for a hug.
Children really are the best fans. He waved at her! The buzzing mascot waved at her. She giggled and bounced around. How exciting was this! She looked up at her mom and grinned, in quick hyper Spanish she told her about taking the picture. Just as she was going to go give the Wasps hug when she heard her name. Looking around she knew there were only two people that would know her here other than her mother. Soon she spotted the person she thought said it. Forgetting all means of English the girl rambled quickly in Spanish "Auntie Mariel, Auntie Mariel, you're here! We're here! It's this exciting and look at the mascot he wants to give me a hug!" She laughed and bounced. "Mommy thought it'd be fun to surprise you on your big event day and I get to see players, though my team won't be here."
She glanced up at her mother as the spoke about Jorge not knowing and she didn't understand half of it since her English still wasn't all that good. Finally she flew into the arms of the Wasp. "Auntie Mariel take a picture with me." She waved her hands towards her and the Wasp she was hugging. Pictures were fun and why not get a big hug from a buzzing Mascot he was offering!! "Where is Uncle Jorge?" She looked around before looking at the Wasp and tried in her best English. "Do you.." She couldn't think of the word translation so she started to dance around to show him what she was asking. Did he dance? She wanted to seeing him dance!
