My mother, Rose Da Silva, has returned to the ocean. I know she was close to a lot of people here and I thought it was important to let everyone know.

[ She hadn’t wanted to tell anyone, truth be told, but she knew she couldn’t selfishly hold onto the information when Rose knew and cared about so many people in this place and vice versa. But even this small amount of public acknowledgment cuts her to the bone. ]

I can kinda see why you wouldn't. Sounds like it's a hard thing for the both of you to think about. But your mom will always be one of the strongest people I know for doing it in the first place. I know after seeing it, I could never forget it.

[And that's not JUST because of all the killing Alessa did in that particular memory]!

No, I know. I plan on it too. There's a day we celebrate for him.

I'd like that. The twenty third of this month. That's when mom and I celebrate it proper.

[ Sharon reaches out to grasp Luz gently on the shoulder and gives it a soft squeeze. She knew how awful it was to lose a parent, she was going through it a second time after all, and she didn’t want the other girl to feel alone in her grief. ]

Then let’s do some things for him together then. I’ll be here for you like you’ve been here for me.

[ her own grief was stifling but she could see past it to see Luz was drowning in it too. ]

[It was still something that hurt, even after all of this time. Luz made a small sigh but appreciated the gesture and took a sip of her tea to calm her a bit].

If you're willing, I'd like you to come with me to giving flowers that day. I'll be with my girlfriend too, but it'll mean the world to have people that matter to me there that day.

[Ones she was comfortable seeing her grieve, of course].

[fogsong]

Yeah, of course. Plus, I’d love to meet your girlfriend. [ it always catches her off guard when she finds out someone she knows is dating but she’s glad Luz has found someone she wants to share her heart with, especially in a place like this. ]

I’m sorry Rose didn’t get the chance to meet her and do this with you. I know that’d be something she would’ve wanted.

[imaglyphwitch]

Great! I just have to set her up to meet you then! She says she struggles socially, but I'm sure that you'll both get along!

[She hoped anyway].

It would have been nice. Of course, that would have been nice for Fern and Varian to be there too. You can't really choose who gets to stay and who leaves.

[Which still made Luz bitter but oh well].

[fogsong]

Her and I will have something in common, then. [ she assures. she still had her own issues socially. even now, after all these months, friendship felt strange and foreign and she still kept her whole life close to her chest. ]

[imaglyphwitch]

Don't worry. I'll try to keep things light, and we'll even have a picnic afterwards!

[OOC: So I actually DID have a thread for this event since I figured it was important to acknowledge Luz's dad's death as stated by canon this year. If you want to handwave them getting together and talking, you can, I just figured it might be a good way to get both Sharon and Lexi acquainted with each other]!

[fogsong]

You don’t have to keep thing light but a picnic sounds nice. I’ll bring something, too.

[ ooc: let me know when you’d like me to hop in and I will! You can just ping me on plurk at lobselvith ]

[imaglyphwitch]

That'd be great! I think I'm going to actually look forward to this.

[Which was saying something, since Luz was feeling ten times guilty having missed it so long]!

((OOC: Oh, you can drop in right now, they're all gathered up at the moment))!
