[BABY —]

◜: *✧◞ Seated near the back of the general event was the other Astral Seraph, his amber hues observing the flickering lanterns as they were gracefully [sup]floated[/sup] into the open atmosphere. His masculine features remained neutral as Onision and a few others listed off the names of their loved ones, including... Agathe? Softly, subtly, his gaze lingered on the snow leopardess as she waved off a lantern of her own. Just who could she be grieving, he wondered to himself. The huntress had always seemed so steadfast and composed, though at the moment, he wondered if her stony exterior would fail her.

Titan figured that he should not linger his attention onto Agathe for long. This moment was hers, not his.

As for him, a few names came to mind, believe it or not. These hadn't been members of the Ascendants, but rather those he had known in his past. The names of the deceased? All of them.

No lantern was lit. He did not want to grieve out in the open in front of everyone. He didn't want anybody to know that he even was mourning the death of anyone but those of recent passings. Ḁ̷͉͕̀͊l̵̦̖̊͋l̴̗͔͌̂ͅ ̶̧̺́̍ò̴̥͜f̴̺̀ ̶̤̯̲͛́͘t̴͉͂͒h̵̟͇̙̆e̶̝̘͑̀m̴͍̱̀̑
