There's a lot to feel. And she didn't get in touch with you directly.

( Did she? )

[braveandstupid]

That would be a nice change of pace if she had. But no. She never does. She just shows up and lights everything on fire in her wake.

[She exhales slowly, letting her shoulders slump.]

Isobel has always been hard to talk about on a good day, and the past few have been pretty crazy.

[founderscouncil]

I know. ( Days? Try months. ) If you ever want to talk about her, your mom and I are here.

[Elena nods with a small smile.]

Maybe. But not tonight. We are at a party and I don't want to talk about sad things.

[founderscouncil]

Sad isn't in our vocabulary tonight. How's that?

( Okay? Tonight is about the party. )

[braveandstupid]

Sounds perfect.

[She smiles before pushing to her feet.]

And I have more presents to deliver. But I'll see you guys later?

[founderscouncil]

We'll see you later, Elena.
