Well...I have something. Loki made this for me.

[This outfit has no pockets - because even in space, dresses with pockets are not a thing - so Wanda has to fish around in her purse for a moment. She retrieves a small silver disc, and when she holds it out, it projects a perfect image of Pietro right down to the confident swagger.

They clearly weren't identical twins.]

We used to have the same hair, but his powers made his hair go white so quickly.

( Sansa studies the image of Pietro for a moment. The family resemblance is strong, even if his hair isn't the same color as Wanda's, and she marvels at what Loki has made. Sansa would give anything for something like this - if she could have a miniature of her family, of her lady mother? It would be absolutely priceless. She wonders at it for a moment before looking back at Wanda. )

I have lost much of my family and none of them are here in the Fleet but I cannot imagine losing my twin, losing someone who shared my birth and shared my life. I am truly, deeply sorry. I know there is nothing I can say to ease that ache or be a balm to your suffering. Words never suffice for a pain like this. All the same, I do offer my words and my comfort should you want them.

[seeingscarlet]

I'm sorry, too.

[Tentatively, Wanda holds out her free hand. They are new enough friends that Wanda's not yet sure of the best way to offer comfort, but she has to do something - more than losing Pietro, she knows what it feels like to lose her entire family.]

Sometimes I feel guilty for wishing the Atroma would bring him here, but...this is not as bad as home. He would be safe.

[theladyofwinterfell]

Don't feel guilty. I ask the same thing of the Atroma every day and every night. I want my family here so I know they're alive and they're safe. If it's selfish, we just have to be selfish.

( Sansa takes Wanda's hand, squeezes it tight. She has no idea how she'd survive the loss of a twin and she thinks Wanda must be made of stern stuff indeed to do such a thing. )

I am glad we're friends. Truly.
