Lily slips quietly into the Sanctury, dressed in some appropriate mourning clothes, feeling very much not ready for this. Why, it hadn’t been that long, had it, since she’d been away? The meeting about who was going where, her question about the door - and they’d seemed to sure that this one would be safe. Between the severed head and this, Lily isn’t sure who is on the right side anymore. It feels very messy, and like she hasn’t nearly enough pieces to put it together. It feels… senseless. Yes, senseless. That’s it. Like losing a friend to childbirth, or the random workings of disease. Waiting quietly for her turn to see Bastien, the redhead offers him a hug if he wants it, but feels like there’s nothing she can say that others haven’t already said. What can she offer? A song? “I’m sorry, Bastien. It’s not fair, it -” pulling away and looking down at her hands, the entertainer sighs. “I’ll miss her,” she says softly, looking up at the man’s face and squeezing an arm before finding a seat a couple of rows back.
