[ Fish doesn't stop soothing at all, even when their clothes are soaked through with Connie's tears and snot. And when he finally looks up, they draw up a thumb to brush away the trail of tears from his eyes. They give him a sad smile. ]

It's alright. You did need that. It felt like you were holding in a lot. I'm here for anything you need.

[wildsorcery]

[ He prestidigitates the mess away from both Fish and himself with a soft apology, but doesn't move from their arms. Fish always felt safe, like the older sibling he always wanted and not the one he had.

Connie curls up a bit, tail in his lap. ]

...what am I going to do now, Fish?

[freshtilapia]

Grieve. It's alright to. And you can do it as long as you need to. But, maybe you can use what Kairon's given you to move forward. He would have loved that, right? To see you be who you are-- Confidence.

[ Fish smiles, meeting his eyes. ]

He believed in you. The same way I do. And Molly does as well.

[wildsorcery]

I'll try. I try every day to be me, but this... this...

[ He hugs his tail closer like it's a comfort in addition to Fish, and there's a small chirp as Grace joins them, squishing in between them in that way only slinky critters can do. ]

...does it ever stop hurting?

[freshtilapia]

[ Fish takes a deep breath and keeps him close in an embrace. ]

... I can't say for sure. Grief... stays. The best we can do is just to eventually find peace with it.

[wildsorcery]

I... understand. I just... at least he isn't dead. Just... for me.

[ He sighs, staying in that embrace for as long as he can. Then, finally... ]

...do you want some tea?

[freshtilapia]

That would be appreciated.

[ Fish smiles warmly at him, eyes kind the whole time. ]

(( ooc: we can call this a natural wrap and maybe have a new thread with Connie getting used to life in the Foxglove House? ))
