I have a question for you all today.
What sorts of things do you do with your families?
Or did, in case they're not here, you no longer lived with them at home, etc.
Did you have many family outings?
Did you stay at home and watch television together?
Did you play card games or board games or something?
How did you enjoy your time together?

Or...tell me about them maybe...
Do you live with both of your parents?
Do you have any siblings?
Are you the oldest or the youngest?

...I guess I actually have a lot of questions.
Sorry about that.

[...hmm.]

I see. [He's not sure what to do with that information. He thinks of seeing his family, and...well, he could say his goodbyes, he supposes, but beyond that he's largely ambivalent about the idea.] Does that mean you know a person who's died, or is it hearsay?

...My mom and dad are two.
My dad is here, but my mom went back home recently.

[OHHH shit dammit. Well, that explains the questions about family.

He's totally going to handle this better than the last time he learned someone's parents were dead. Let's do this let's go.] I'm sorry for your loss. [GOOD START] Would she not be able to return here again by the same magic? [goddamn paragon of sensitivity. he is so proud of himself.]

Thank you, but it's okay.
I get to visit with them when they're here.
And yes, she could, but it's a question of when or if.
Some people are rather quick to return here after they leave.
Some...aren't.
