They were going house hunting. Elise figured she would make her request quickly before they got too far into the process for the day. There was a very specific set up she was hoping for. Was it selfish to make this decision without Ezra's opinion? Her stomach churned painfully in her gut but she shook her head. "Selfish. You're so selfish. Why do you deserve love?" Garrel taunted her of course because he was her and this was her own voice speaking back to her, her own emptiness manifested as self hatred. Spiraling, spinning, she smiled, pinching her wrist. Let it out. Release the pressure valve. Calm. The houses were nice. "I would like one that is high up." She told Winter as they entered the carriage. "I would like to be able to see as the fog wraps around the top of the Sentinel Tower in the distance." It would give her a comforting feeling.

"I'm sure we can find something like that." Serenity said, grinning from ear to ear. She was excited, brightly playing with her hair an fiddling with her long slender fingers as she gazed out the windows to watch the city scroll past them like a long reel of a landscape painting. "What are you looking for?" Serenity shrugged, excitement shining in her eyes. "No idea! But I'm excited to see what's available!" How did she do it? How was she so flawlessly happy? So positive all the time? It was strange. Even before she was not like this. How did she become strong? Serenity was once the weakest. Now, Elise found herself admiring her in some strange way. Winter too, was weak and strong. Elise never had strength to begin with.

Kore and Hades were both invited. That made Elise happy at least. "I hope Cerberos can come too." That silly three headed dog deserved a break. Elise watched as Serenity loved and gushed about all the properties Winter showed, her eyes lighting up each time. Elise shifted her eyes to Winter, wondering. Was she really strong? What was this strange hesitation? "You dread it a little." She said softly, mostly to herself. "You do not want us all to grow apart." It was so clear after looking at her a little. "I cannot speak of the others. But you are my only family left. I will cling to you until you are irritated of me." A self hating little smile rose on her face, eyes shining. "And Ezra loves you like he does a little sister."

"I think I want the lake house." Serenity said after Winter showed them the two houses. "It's bigger, it's by the lake, and I can bring in a lot of Servants as staff." There was a sunny look on her face. Why was she always so radiant? Why was Elise so envious of that stupid positivity? That naivety? For a brief moment there was a hateful pulse in her veins. Why was Serenity okay? Where were her scars? Her pain, her trauma, where was any of it? but she bit her lip and fought it back, shaking. She would talk about this later, but she did not want to ruin the mood now. "So I can bring happiness to all of my workers who help me bring the dawn each day." Serenity continued, oblivious/

Then it burst out.

"How?" Elise asked, her eyes like bloodied daggers in the sunlight. "How are you so happy? So untouched by the tragedy? Everything that I cannot be?" Like a bright light that did not know darkness. Serenity blinked, then still smiled. "I don't know. I just think there's no point in being down." Serenity said, looking at her hands sadly. "Why be down, when you can find a reason to be happy? And maybe help others be happy too?" For some reason she looked vulnerable and Elise shook more. Why? Why did it come out? Why could she not control herself? "You're dealing with trauma. It's okay." Siri tried to touch her but Elise was not sure if she wanted to be touched. Shame filled her stomach, making her feel like a fish that was drowning.

"Sorry." She admitted, looking down at her boots. "That was wrong of me. I should not have said that. Done that." Siri nodded, but remained quiet, glancing nervously at their host, almost as if she was asking Winter for help.
