Hotaru
Tonight, you look so lovely
It's your eyes that define me
After the gift Remi and Ronin had provided for so many of them, it had felt almost gluttonous to gather their lanterns in preparation for the journey. Not that gluttony has ever stopped Hotaru - it's why the handles of so many beloved creations are even now clasped within either her hand or Sunjata 's. There will never be too much time spent with lost loved ones. It's worth trying her hand at luck tonight, as with every year. It's your eyes that define me
After seeing Enzo so recently, and her conversation with Rexanna, Hotaru is a bit fixated on the copper-brushed blackened metal frame of her firstborn son's lantern. She lingers, touching it gently with her fingertips, before smiling and turning away from where it now hangs - toward Sunjata's smile.
"Why wait? People hate to be the first on the floor," she points out with a smile of her own, taking his hand and pulling him into a spin that she has to press onto her toes to actually make work - and not without a good deal of bending to be done for his part.
