Alador Blight; sometime after the final fight

[anything_grows]

[ There had been so much going on after Belos' defeat, and needing to repair the Boiling Isles. But the tense events leading up to that had revealed a lot about people's true feelings and motivations - specifically Odalia Blight, who had known about Belos' plan to use the draining spell and had still been willing to provide him with the Abomatons he wanted.

It didn't take long after their return and while they were fixing things up for Amity's parents to decide to separate, and the Blights minus Odalia deciding to move to a new house. Despite knowing that it was probably the best for them as a family, it was still difficult for Amity, so the rest of them tried to be there for her as best as they can.

Which is how the group of them could be found helping to move their things from the mansion to their new residence. It was a bit smaller than their old place, but it would be easier for the family to reconnect with one another, and Edrich and Emira were due to graduate soon anyway. All in all, this house was an improvement in a lot of ways.

Especially since there are certainly no bad memories associated with this place, as Willow places a box of Amity's stuff down in her new room. And she knows it's would help Amity and her family, but a selfish part of her is also glad for this fresh start for them.

It certainly would make it easier for her to visit, at least. ]

[Alador is very grateful that his kids' friends are helping the family move. Not so much because of lightening the load, but rather, because the kids are clearly having a hard time. Not that Alador isn't, but that's really neither here nor there. It's about his children, and.... He knows this is all for the best, but he can't help worry that he's going to do his own kind of awful job even with Odalia.

At that's all constantly on his mind these days, but right now, he's more focused on tracking down Batric, who got away from Edric in all the commotion. Ed insists the creature will be fine and come back to him soon without causing any trouble, but Alador would like to be sure on all fronts. So he pokes his head into Amity's room to see if she has seen any sign... Only to quickly realize Amity isn't there.]

Mittens, do-- Ah. Hello, Willow.

[anything_grows]

[ About to step out of the room, Willow quickly stops short to avoid running into Alador. And she can't help wincing just a little, because this particular scenario is probably what she worried most about happening since agreeing to help Amity move. ]

Oh, uh...hi, Mr. Blight.

[ Because she hasn't forgotten the part Amity's parents had played in ending their friendship all those years ago. And it was easy not to forgive Odalia, who doesn't want nor deserves forgiveness. But now that Amity is working on things with her dad...where does that leave her? ]

I think Amity is with Luz to head back to the mansion to pick up the last of her things.

[ Because that isn't going to make things more awkward. ]

[goopidea]

Oh, I see.

[Even Alador can't miss how uncomfortable this situation is. Of course he can't, he's deeply ashamed of forcing his daughter to end that friendship. And not just ashamed, but regretful. Who cares how powerful a witch Willow has grown into, the real point is she and Amity were such good friends for one another. They would have benefited from having each other around through their early adolescence. But what can he say to express that, to apologize without making things worse?]

Have you seen a one-eyed bat?

[anything_grows]

[ The seemingly non sequitur throws Willow off guard, and surprises her out of some of her more darker thoughts that it takes her a moment to form a response. ]

Uh, no? I don't think I have. Is that one of Edric's?

[ She isn't entirely sure what she was expecting, or really hoping for, but maybe it's no surprise that there isn't any kind of apology. Maybe it's just one of those things that they could just put aside and forget about. It isn't as though Willow would be spending too much time around him anyway. ]

[goopidea]

One of his pets, yes. Batric. Ed says he'll be fine, but I'm still concerned.

[Not only is Alador worried about the creature causing trouble, but also about it getting lost. He is determined to get fatherhood right from now on, and letting his son's beloved companion get lost during the move would not be doing his best.]

Oh! But that's not something you need to worry about. I just thought I'd ask, in case...

[anything_grows]

[ With a smile, she shakes her head. ] No that's okay, I don't mind. If Edric says he'll be okay, then I'm sure he will, but it couldn't hurt to keep an eye out anyway.
