"Whoops. Just a sec, we got a guest", Layla said as she reached down and helped the pig get on the bed, petting him. "Hi there."

"Chonk!" It nuzzled up against her.

The blonde petted the pig affectionately, before laying down to sleep.

You wake up hours later.

Layla
Glancing at Henrietta and Lechonk to see if they were still asleep, the blonde got up and dressed either way.

You hear weeping nearby from one of the rooms. A voice too mature to be any of the younger members.

Layla
Raising an eyebrow, she glanced inside said room, knocking lightly on the doorframe. "May I come in?"

"Yes go ahead." A voice said weakly as you enter to find Lady Phenex laying in a bed.

Layla
She nodded, stepping inside. "...Just wondering if you... would like to talk to someone who'd be glad to listen", she said with a calm smile.

"Yes... I think I'd like that." She said still not getting up as she lay down.

Layla
"I'm so sorry for your loss", the blonde said simply as she sat down by her side on the bed. "It's never easy."

"I... I don't know what I'll do from here on. He was my one true love for centuries." She said.

Layla
"I... wish I could relate to this more, but I'm afraid my own personal life experience so far is closer to several decades than centuries. But... if it's any comfort, you still have the love of a daughter and the support of multiple friends", she noted.
"...Also, although I deem it early to point this out given how fresh your pain is, but since you were the one to mention love... I was able to find love again myself within as short a lifetime as mine has been, so I wouldn't give up on the hope of finding one worthy of your heart. I did not know your husband personally, but if he loved you as you seem to imply... I'm sure he would only want you to be happy, even in his absence." 9 in Statecraft (Kind and caring, Compassionate) to try and comfort her and bring some hope back.

She paused. "I'd be careful saying such things if I were you... A less experienced Devil might think you were trying to flirt with me." She chided with a small smile.

Layla
Layla smiled back. "I'm just being honest. Also, it would be quite improper for me to be flirting with a person I attempt to comfort. Besides... I did say I found love myself", she said warmly. "All I'm saying is not to give up on hope. These may be dark days for you... but light always follows after the darkness."
