Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2015, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, the ceremony for graduation was ready to go. The lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths for everyone to get to the seating area. There were blue and gold streamers flapping peacefully in the breeze, and of course, the makeshift paths were covered in glitter.

Look, if the supply wasn't going down, Zoe was just going to embrace the glitter madness for the sake of her own personal sanity.

Congratulations, Class of 2015! You made it to graduation day! Now you just had to get through the ceremony. At least nothing looked oddly out of place this year?

"We are going back to Liara's world," she said, after a moment's thought. "Liara has us out at a dig site of some sort."

Yeul did not really know, and that was okay with her. Caius knew more.

"But Karla has invited us to visit her world, so I expect that we will do that at some point."

She needed to apologize to Saetan for dying on him.

Saetan was probably pretty used to people dying on him, by this point. Though the visit would likely be appreciated all the same.

//Ah, you're here with Liara?// Jono took a moment to glance around the crowd, paused, and nodded once he caught the telltale glimpse of blue. //It's good to see that she's doing well, as well. She left without much in the way of fanfare. It was to find you?//

That struck him as kind of perfect, actually.

Yeul bobbed her head.

"Yes," she agreed. "She found Caius, and they found me. Liara was quite insistent upon coming along as I understand it."

//Well,// Jono replied, smiling back down at Yeul, //then you must mean a great deal to her. I'm glad she found you both.//

"She sounds a lot like Caius is some ways now," Yeul admitted. "It has been interesting."

Not bad, not good, but different.

//One thing almost everyone can say about Fandom Island takeaways,// Jono mused. //They're interesting. I'm glad to see she found you. I'd wondered about you both. To see you here now is... it's refreshing.//

A weight off his shoulders, maybe. He worried.

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2015]

She blinked, mildly puzzled.

"You knew I would be reborn though," Yeul said quietly.

How could he worry, knowing that?

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2015]

[furnaceface]

//I did,// Jono agreed, shrugging one shoulder a little, lopsidedly. //But there's more to life than being alive. I'm glad to see that you were found by friends. That you're in good company, now.//

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2015]

Yeul did not really understand and her gaze showed that, while she didn't understand, she was alright with that.

"I am pleased to have brought you some relief," she said softly.

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2015]

Jono gave her tiny hand a gentle squeeze. He figured she wouldn't understand. He was used to that, by now. That didn't mean he wasn't going to speak his mind when the topic came up.

"And Liara as well, I imagine."

Re: Welcome! [Grad 2015]

[pulseof_life]

"Yes," she agreed, then added: "She takes good care of me."

So he didn't have to worry about that either.

//I wouldn't expect any less,// Jono replied. //She's a good friend. A good person. I suspect she'll be there for you for a long time.//

The lengthy Asari lifespan helped.

//And if there's anything I can do, if you do continue to visit the island from time to time or otherwise, it would be my pleasure.//
