"YOU ALL OKAY UP THERE?"
"You good, Ruby?"
"Uhuh."
"WE'RE ALL GOOD. YOU CAN COME UP NOW."
"Just give us a minute."
"Darius?"
"Clean up the room?"
"Clean up the room!!!"
*creak…crun…crun*
"Hurry. Just stuff the tissues behind there."
"I thought we made a rule about no closets."
"Shut it."
*Knock, knock, knock.*
"Oh no. They're here."
"We're coming in."
"Ruby, your face. Here, let me wipe your tears with my sleeve. Hold still."
"Darius? Ruby? What's....going on here?"
"Nothing. We're good, Mom."
"Yep!! Darius helped me."
"I see. Well, with Braemos gone, what do you all want to do to celebrate?"
"Don't know about you but just kick back and let my hair hang. Still may need a minute to process."
"Unacceptable. With the threat of Braemos gone, I want to see your town. We all do. Come on, it's only fair. We showed you ours; now show us yours."
