The blew through the portal at top speed, the fearlings were too close for Cassie to slow down there. As they did, she banked hard left and down, tightening her grip on the new guy with one hand and raising the other to protect both their heads. Paper and balsa wood splintered against her bracer and forearm, some little planes weren't going to be making it into Christmas stockings; but they were running out of airspace and they were still going too fast--

Cassie twisted to take the brunt of it as they hit the polished wood floor and rolled off the rest of their momentum, protecting the new guy as best she could with her body.

When they stopped moving and the workshop stopped spinning, Cassie pushed them up into a sitting position and turned the new guy loose as she looked around.

No sign of any fearlings having made it through the portal after them, just shocked and appalled Yeti and elves. Cassie punched the air with both hands.

"YE-E-EAH!" she shouted. "We are AWESOME!"
