Ferus didn’t think that “good health” would under any circumstances describe the Emperor, but he nodded anyway.

Wiress did not know exactly what was going on in the house across the street from her, but she knew enough. The day after she watched the Delarouxs leaving their new home all dressed in black- minus a member, she noted- she decided it was time to do something neighbourly.

She’d lived in the Victor’s Village since she was fifteen, and Three’s wasn’t exactly bustling. But when there was a funeral, she thought neighbours probably did something. Friends definitely did, and Pixel was her friend. It was her duty, as a friend, to offer comfort, to say she’d be there should she need support.

Tucking Quinn and Quill into the pockets of her shirt, she jogged across the road and rang the doorbell. When it opened, though, she just... forgot. Forgot how conversation worked.

“Hello. Here is a gecko.” She took Quill out of her pocket and held her out to Pixel. “Are you okay?”
