Everyone wants to see heaven
But no one wants to say goodbye
But no one wants to say goodbye
There was already a crowd when Soh arrived, carrying her lanterns, and there were several people she recognized. This wasn't a party, though, and the atmosphere was subdued in comparison to the last big gathering she'd been to. Her mood matched: not only was she filled with grief, but she also had her troubles weighing heavily on her shoulders. She wondered what her parents would say if they were here, how they would advise her. Would they be proud of her?
She saw Koa with a familiar figure - Flora - and a muted sting of jealousy shot through her, if only because she knew she had likely ruined her relationship with Koa beyond repair. She knew now that she'd been wrong to ask so much of him, but she would have preferred to have him as a friend than to have alienated him completely. As for Flora... well, the young Heart would be mortified later when she thought of how much she'd revealed to her friend when there appeared to potentially be something going on between the two. For now, though, she slipped away from the pair, glad, in a way, that they at least had each other.
She ached, though, for someone to share her grief with, and thoughts of Jude had tears brimming in her eyes. Tarak, perched on her shoulder, purred softly in her ear, and she reached up absently to scratch beneath his chin gratefully. In the end, she saw Talyson and made her way to his side, offering Boreal a scratch as she arranged her lanterns. One for her mother, one for her father, and one for Auden. Satisfied, she linked arms silently with the courier, leaning her head on his shoulder for comfort.
