Hushed Willows Its A Sad Day

Octavia had never been close with her parents. She hadn't disliked them to any great extent either, and held love for everyone in her family, but thoughts of either parent rarely crossed her mind. It occurred to her now, though, that Grace had always struggled through her short life; she did not pity her for these hardships though, but rather, felt a sort of... Envy. Not for the pain of the abuse or the turmoil she no doubt experienced upon losing those she cared for, but because Grace was, ultimately, so much stronger for it. And now, losing Nova Rose, she would toughen up again.

She isn't gone for good, the woman murmured, trying to sound as pleasant as she could despite feeling a little irritated by this knowledge. Grace's mother was alive and well, whicih was a good thing. As much as Tavi disliked the old woman for her immaturity and consistent lack of obedience, she did not wish her dead - for Grace's sake. Maybe once she has found a place to settle she'll let us know? I'm not opposed to having you visit her from time to time, if it makes you happy. She didn't bring up the potential of having Nova visit them, and return to Marauder soil, because quite honestly it was not a thought she'd like to entertain for long. Octavia knew that the next time she saw Nova Rose would be too soon, and she'd have to lay down the law.
