Hushed Willows tonight, i'm gonna have myself a real good time [YULE]

What a night.

For once, she is able to put her sorrow on the back burner to deal with later.  It simmers there with the lid on, dangerous and burning, but for now it is more or less benign.  

She has such a big family. She is thankful for all of them.  She is proud of Brilliance, who she has not spotted, for hearing her out and showing up to the meeting.  She is thankful for her wife's patience, for Lily's strong will and determination, and for Delight's silent, but distant, presence.

She doesn't know why, but tonight she feels the need to close the distance that has settled so comfortably between them.  He has been alone through all of this.  He's lost a daughter, too.

Hey, stranger, she breaks from song to call, Come over here!
