Joe noticed the little girl now bounding into the room. This had to be Aarne's younger sister, Ávrá. She was adorable and Joe's face instantly lit up at seeing her because he'd seen photos before but now she was here in person. Viktor also smiled at the little girl and patted her head gently.
Ávrá looked between the two Brits and giggled at thier funny accents.
Staring up at Joe she smiled. "näytät Aarnelta." Ávrá didn't speak as much English as she understood but after a few seconds of considering she wrapped her arms around Joe's waist to hug him.
Joe thought Ávrá was adorable and realised he was gaining a baby sister which caused a pang of excitement to build up inside of him like a warm glow. He wasn't going to be an only child anymore! Her words caused him to smile because the Brit had learned a little bit of Finnish over the time he'd spent with Aarne.
"You think so? Is it the hair? My crazy attitude? Or---Ehkä kaikki?"
The bassist tried to make sure his pronunciation was on cue as he spoke Finnish to Aarne's little sister.
Joe wanted to say more things in Finnish because perhaps it would increase his respect from Aarne's mother if she heard him at least trying their language. The Brit smiling at the chest pat.
"Kiitos, pikkuinen."
He hoped he said it right as he looked across towards Vars.

The bassist gave a wave and beamed.
