suddenly i'm spinning like a ceiling fan, around and 'round we go
It reminds her of when Vesper and her siblings found the home they’re living in now - the way it had been left like a perfect prize nestled into Haulani proper. The garden that was overgrown and the layers of dust and salt and sand that had rested upon the shelves and furniture left behind. All cleaned up to make a prom and proper home for them all the second they’d set foot in the glittering sand of Torchline.
But the house had memories that weren’t her own, so she imagines that for Theea to be back here might be a sensation she’d never experience. At least, not unless she went back to the stars for some reason or another. So there’s little judgement as she glances around, already preparing thoughts on how to help her fix up the house so she doesn’t have to do it all by herself, when she turns back to the young accepted, her smile softening to mirror the same one shot her way. “We can make it perfect for ya.” It leaves her lips like a vow, her excitement palpable in proving that she’d help however she could.
Hearing her laugh at the idea of a housewarming party, though, Caly’s own chimes alongside her. “It’ll be a blast. I can even bring the drinks ’n punch ’n shit.” Rubbing her hands together as she contemplates what to bring, it’s a fleeting thought because there’s a lot of work to do before it gets to that point.
For the help, though, she beams and relaxes, her shoulders swooping with the motion as she steps in further, touching the corner of a cabinet that looks like its still in perfectly good shape, if not a bit dusty and maybe home to a crab or two. “Let me know, yeah? I’ll clear my plans.” At the drop of a hat, too, if she needed anything. Which is also a surprise for Caly, to have found someone she’s so willing to help so easily. But Theea, as far as Caly can tell, is good. She’s trying her best from a life hidden away and for that, Caly finds herself wanting to be a part of it, to see where she goes and how she grows.
As for herself, she turns back toward Theea with a smaller smile. “Yeah, I do sometimes.” She hums, glancing up toward the ceiling of the house before her gaze drops back down to her friend. “We’ve only been down here for a bit over a year.” Her and her siblings, that is. "So it's not like it's been that long. 'n at least I can see her sometimes." She just has to go to the shrine and ask, and luckily each time she has been able to see her mother.
