I know... [Gently, as gentle as he ever can be, Dimitri leans in to pull her into a hug.] I know.
I, too... would rather go with all of them with us as well.
[But they will waste away if they all stay stagnant here.]
[But Felix would be enraged if he saw them do nothing but mourn.]
[But Chip would hate it, if they made Grant cry.]
[Dimitri does not say any of these things. It is a lot to lay on a child on even a normal day, and it is a lot to lay on a child grieving. So Dimitri does not go into such things, not today. Instead, he pulls back, his arms still wrapped around her.]
But you know... Sylvain left, once before. And then he came back a little while after, you know.
So one day... I am sure we will see them all again - whether all together, or one by one. [Another soft stroke of her hair.] And when that day comes... We can guide them personally to all the places we got to visit, and show them all the most fun things, and exciting places.

And we'll take pictures, just to show them.
