She figured how she was feeling would just be a burden on her twin, and it didn't make sense to share that. And then when she considered the other people in her life who she could have talked to, there were more reasons that while she logically knew it would have been safe, she didn't feel safe. And then the more she thought about who she could talk to her, the more her head came up with reasons she couldn't, until it finally occurred to her the excuses were because there was one person she wanted. But that person didn't exist anymore - and she'd never felt that as acutely as she did now.

But she also knew how sad their mom being gone was for Vasco, in general. So... she didn't want to talk about it with him. But she did have a letter in her bag for someone else.

So yes... instead it was far easier to just... try to be normal for an afternoon. Which was made easier by the challenge they'd just established. "Deal. Let's go look at the hard candies!" She smiled at him, before tugging him over towards the pops and drops. Of course hard candies still were meltable but... they took longer. And she was hoping there'd be something around here that would be specifically made NOT to melt. "Lemon and chocolate is a very underrated pairing." She replied, very serious as he seemed to be considering her suggestion. "Let's get her a chocolate frog and maybe some Bertie Botts?" Classics, but one hit the chocolate requirement and the other she thought it'd be cute if she shorted the GOOD flavors into a rainbow. So like.. a specially crafted Bertie Botts just for Scootalou. "Do you want anything?"

Vasco was used to Vera burdening him with things! That was part of their bond. Joking. Seriously though, she wasn't a burden and nothing she said to him could make him feel that way. If she didn't want to talk, fine. He wasn't going to shove the knowledge that he had of things in her face like he wanted to. Sure, he could do that but why should he? So she could think he was lying to her or something anyhow?

Their mom being gone was a hard topic to talk about but one that Vasco could handle now and no longer avoided the way he used to when they were much younger. He was growing up and not the same boy he had been back then.

Sure, he could play if cool. He had NOTHING to hide. Whatever you want, V." The Ravenclaw let himself be tugged along, all the while checking out all the different candies that were on display as they walked down each aisle. "I wasn't bad mouthing the pairing, I was considering what you said you wanted to do." She should know how he was with planing things out right away in his head when new pairings and the like were mentioned in a particular way. "Sounds good for her." He'd even sit there and help her sort them out if she wanted. As for him.. well.. "Do you even have to ask?"
