Jaina had had to shut most of the rest of the island out once dead people started showing up, but she could guess at how people might be reacting. So when she got in to work and set things up, she made sure to add a sign.

1/2 OFF ALCOHOL FOR THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT

Someone was trying to be helpful today.

Ben was a slightly obsessive listener to the radio, so it didn't take him long to take his speculations from his conversation with Aravis and the information from last night's broadcast and realize that dead relatives had come to visit the island.

And that his mother had not. But he was fine with that. Really. Even if Anakin had come for Jaina and ( Read more... )

After another dream had woken her in the middle of the night with a warm feeling, and a stronger pull towards the island, Aravis had dressed at dawn and waited for Cor to wake to say goodbye.

Aravis was still blinking sleep out of her eyes when she arrived at the Gig, carrying a cup of extremely strong tea from the Perk.

She resisted the urge to make herself a little hay bed to nap in, and instead, set to feeding the horses.

[see note on Pepper's post!]

Aravis had been, at least, a larger child this time around. She'd been three last year.

Either way, the maturity level seemed somewhat similar.

In any case, she was devoting her time to grooming the horses carefully today, mostly to lose herself in her thoughts.
