[Tim was dead. She needed to talk to Clark. Tim was sorry. Sorry, but dead, and cremating him wasn't a good idea. Steph had friends die before in Paradisa, but this time it was different because it was Tim and he was a crucial part of Steph's growing up and this was too soon after Damian leaving and Stephanie was pretty sure this was a lot of things catching up to her at once because no matter how much she wiped at her eyes, her vision was blurry with tears.

Things needed to be done, but Steph didn't want to be a mess when talking to Clark or telling people Tim had died. She had to compose herself.

Somehow that translated into running up to Uru's door and knocking frantically.]

[Steph can't really put this off for too long, so she filters to Clark.]

Kate said you had Tim?

[One tired smile Uru's way.]

I know. And I will.

[amiable]

Okay. [ She smiles a little herself. ] If you want any food after, it'll be on the counter. I don't have any clothes you'd fit into to sleep in, though.

[secondchances]

Don't worry, I'll manage. [Meaning she's not sure she'll be able to sleep after talking to Clark.]

[amiable]

I'm gonna leave out blankets and a pillow. [ A pause. ] You can make yourself at home.

[secondchances]

Thanks, Uru. I don't know what I'd do without you.

[Her eyes sting again. NO... not... gonna...]

[amiable]

[ She starts to flail, some rice flying out of the bowl. ]

Don't cry!

[secondchances]

I'm not! I think!

[THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED, URU.]

[amiable]

[ NOT OVER DEAD EX-BOYFRIEND... ]

I-It'll all be okay! And then soon, everyone will be happy and we can go back to the way things are here!

[secondchances]

Right... right. You're right.
