The mannequin nods once to the Onyx Sovreign's question. Maxwell's straight-froward explanation blended with the spiritual approach of his Queen's assessment painted a clearer picture. He closely tracks the body language of the others: from Richard's quiet reflection, Circe touching John and offering alcohol after he grieved about a dead partner, to Sonnie receding into herself. Data.
"Thanks," he says to no one specific.

Dreaming, Cloak of the ElementsSonnie listened to John's story sympathetically, and gave him an encouraging smile, "Ava sounds like my kind of Spring. I appreciate a good punny name. Also, homebrew beer? Awesome."
The Beast smiled and nodded to the Winter Queen, raising her mug, "Thanks for holding this shindig, your majesty!"

MantleRich had successfully collected himself, and steeled himself as he heard the stories from the other Lost. Standing he finished the drink he had trapped in his hands, and turned to the Onyx Monarch as she concluded her ceremony.
”That was quite the event, Your Majesty. It has been a time since I have been to such a humble ceremony and I really appreciate that. In LA things can get a little overcrowded and the seasonal events become a who’s who, and fairly exclusive. They tend to lack personality.”
The ogre was smiles as a gesture of genuine nature of his statement. He was tall, likely taller than the Queen at an impressive six foot eight, but was oddly not very intimidating. His mantle was strong, but her own was a stamp of Winter itself.
”Based on the tale you told, it sounds like you have been in Sacramento longer than most here. I would love if you ever had the time to meet, talk about the city, and see what assistance I can offer. No one knows the potholes like the locals, I like to say.”
If anyone knew about the city and the Lost it was likely the Winter Queen, he may as well get to know her and see what he could offer the community as a whole.
The Darkling's head hangs for a moment. Circe could understand the complexities of his situation. Sonnie, on the other hand, did not seem to grasp the somber occasion.
He felt a tingling sensation in his chest. It was more nuanced than mere anger. She didn't know Ava like he did. He shouldn't be bothered by her words. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he was bothered. Her carefree attitude some how dug into his chrome skin.
He held his tongue.
"Yea, Circe..." the Faceless finally spoke up. "I could use a drink."
"Thank you all. For coming, and for sharing. It is never easy, but it is meaningful. I grieve, but I do not grieve alone. I accept my sorrow and process it, and it is easier to move forward because I do not do it alone."
With a tip of his hat and a bow to his Queen, the Onyx Courtier dragged one more log onto the fire.
"My Queen, have you any further need of me this night? I would adjourn, if not. I have been given much to consider."

"Right," Circe will help John rise if he needs it as she will then walk with him towards the drinks, "I think its a saluting tradition ta raise a glass fer the fallen in some places. I may not ah known her, but if you'll let me I'd be proud ta salute her along with ya," she tries her best to sound supportive. The shit with Richard and the Summer dominance game could wait.
She had a comrade, a friend, to look out for right now.
If John Doe leaves the thread, or the scene, Circe will do so as well.

Mantle Dreaming, Cloak of the ElementsAs the event seemed to be over, Sonja rose to her feet, bowed to the Winter Queen with a smile, and headed back into the party-at-large. She seemed to aim herself towards the buffet table.
Sonnie returns to the main party thread
As many had said their peace for the evening, whether or not everyone understood, the Fairest gave simple nods to those who departed from the small group.
