But what she'd failed to realize was 'wallowing' as she had later assigned to her childhood avoidance, had truly just been a natural part of the grieving process. Which she'd skipped. And now she very much was feeling the consequences of never having let herself process like Vasco had. So instead, she was left with confusing maybe feelings and a sadness over the fact that she did not have her mother around to speak with on it.
If she talked to Vasco, would she feel better? She knew she would, even if his reaction was what she assumed it would be. But it came with a level of vulnerability she wasn't ready to share. She liked to pretend she was growing up and into an actual person now but... there were things she still had yet to process.
But she was also running away from those. Which was getting much harder.
Scanning the aisles of candy, she reached out for a bag of hard caramels to look at the back to try to determine if it'd be usable. Hmm... probably, but a waste considering she didn't love caramel. Hearing what sounded nearly defensive, she turned back towards him and blinked with a bit of surprise. "I didn't think you were. I was just making a statement for people in general. Not you." She did in fact know how he was. "Did you come up with any ideas already?" She would absolutely LOVE help sorting. It would take... time. Maybe they could take it to the room of requirement and request a room with a movie or something while they did so. "No, but's it's polite to." She replied with a small laugh. "What are you going to get then?" Vasco could've told her this years and years ago but Vera was Vera. The girl hardly ever listened to a word he said.. especially if she knew he was going to be right about something. So imagine him trying to tell her about that, yeah, no. He would just be here for whenever she realized that she could come to him for whatever she might need him for. Even if it were for nothing more than silent cuddles.
The thing with having a twin sister like his was this.. sometimes he just had to let.. Vera, Vera. That was it. As much as he wanted to turn her around, grab her by the shoulders, shake her a few times and tell her that he knew at least a part of what was going on.. he wasn't going to. Not right this second. Maybe if it somehow managed to come up in their conversation today..
There was a momentary eyebrow raise at the sight of caramel in his sisters hand but he didn't question it. He for one didn't mind caramel depending on how much there was and what it was paired with. Cue a simple shrug of his shoulders. Him, defensive? Never."I might have an idea or two. Not sure if it will work or not though." He might just have to test it out later on and find out for sure. Yeah, he would be down for doing that. "You, being polite? Since when?" he teased, grinning over at her. "Probably some fudge. Maybe some sugar quills too." Unless something better caught his eye first.
