[ There's that going for them at least. But there's no way that she's actually getting out of this unscathed. It's already embarrassing enough being here at all, but she's not about to show that. ]

I eat the seeds. Easy protein on the move.

[bolstafir]

The seeds are pretty good for a snack.

[Especially when you are literally being a bird]

But mostly they make me think of -- [an simpler, happier time in his life. a team that's long since gone] ...family. My nieces' dad always planted them outside the house.

[foulhussy]

Sounds nice. A family like that.

[ Her eyes become distant, remembering the past. Grandma soon lost the strength to do much gardening, and the space that could be used for flowers was better suited to vegetables. ]

[bolstafir]

Yeah, it was.

[Even after Raven left, they built something new out of the ashes with Summer, and when she was gone they'd simply gathered the ashes close and held on anyway. It's hard to think that he may never see Tai or Yang again, and he generally tries not to think about it at all.]

Still find myself checking the sea every month, just in case. But I've had one of my nieces here, at least--and we've found more family, over the years.

[foulhussy]

...Yeah. I do too.

[ It would be horribly complicated if one person in particular were here, but... she wants all of them there anyway. Or she at least just wants them to be alive and okay. ]

Ask away.

[bolstafir]

[He gets it. Sometimes he's not sure how well he'd handle it if he ever saw Summer again. But even so, it would be better for her to be there than not -- Ruby's always deserved a chance to get to know her.

Even so, Qrow can see where this is dangerous territory. These type of events always seem determined to drag something out of them, and family seems like a particularly dangerous topic to test the waters with. He doesn't need to be told twice to pick up the next card, though he does find himself furrowing a brow when he gets around to reading it.]

"Why do you think some sunsets are better than others?" That's...a question, I guess.

[foulhussy]

[ In particular, if the person she used to love was here, who had died for her, when she has pledged her heart to another. She would really rather not think of that.

Family is another matter. There's only one that she wants to see again. Anybody else can just rot as far as she's concerned.

At his question, she takes in a long breath, and pauses. ]

I never saw any befor— [ Zap. She twitches, cursing under her breath. ] Oh, fuck that, I didn't! [ Zaaap. ] It's... it's the situation, in the rest of your life. It's who you see it with. There. That should fucking work.
