Etsie grins "I say we use it as an excuse to party , maybe have a Symon and Dagmar themed cake to honor em, but don't invite em they'd hate it. We just send a lot of love and good vibes to them"

"Well...honestly, Serenity, you met him when he wasn't himself. He was...well, it's complicated. But I think the next time you meet him, he'll seem different. Might still be a bit creepy for you, though."

"If you say so" Serenity says "A party might be fun" She admits "Under any excuse"

"Oh! Etsie, that's...that's brilliant! And maybe there's some way we can, I don't know, capture that vibe in something we give them afterwards? Like a crystal ball or something?"

"I'll call zane, tell him to put his 'wizard title' to work" Etsie suggests

"Maybe Mountain Vali will have an idea of how we can do that."

"Oh! Yes, Zane! Another great idea," she says with a smile.

"I'm on a role, this whiskey flavored ensure must be agreeing with me" Etsie jokes

"Okay, we gotta figure out when and get the word out. An Oathing celebration with the honorees absent. No gifts, just bring those good vibes!" She makes a happy sound. "This is going to be amazing!"

And the planning commences.

Indeed, and Serenity chips in with some suggestions too, as Etsie encourages it to make the 'new kid' feel welcome.
