[ What was that?

What did they see happen?

Whatever it was, it wasn’t enough to save Leon. Which means that Lortel has only herself and Otto for the usual afterparty crew. And her boyfriend, if she press-gangs him, which she will.

She and Aqua leave the crypt together, and don’t immediately return.

But it’s not too long before she’s getting everything ready, hair tied back in a sensible ponytail as she readies the dining room. She doesn’t know how to cook, but Otto does, and even if he doesn’t feel like it, that’s too bad, because she’s going to encourage him.

They have so little left, and so much of that is simply each other. Why else do this? Why bother?

I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again. )

[That all sure fucking happened, didn't it.

They're no doubt all ready to shower and go to bed after all of that, but in Luis' opinion it would only make it worse to go to bed on an empty stomach (well, except for a bite of ham).

It's Yuri he pulls aside first, after they're back in the main part of the house and the door to the crypt has closed behind them. He recruits her to make tea, and while they're in the kitchen more like-minded people filter in until the kitchen is so busy that no one has a chance to think about the nightmare they just endured. Maybe just like-minded about the food part, but even Shauna is convinced to help with the group portions.

With Yuri, Ranma, Otto, and Shauna all in the kitchen, Luis starts to scout out the best place to lay out their spread, and decides on the greenhouse after peeking in and seeing that evidently the house had snacked on all traces of the crime scene while they were down in the crypt.

Eventually, there's a pretty good spread of food laid out in the greenhouse, with a tea service, and Luis is going around knocking on all the doors to convince them of the merits of not going to bed on an empty stomach, at least.

Welcome to the Han Yoojin Memorial Gardens, time to mingle, sit around and be sad, or just grab some food and go to bed.]
