In Person

[personal profile] weatherforecast 2023-08-31 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not unusual these days for Pepa to invite Alberto over to cook with her and have meals with her and Isabella. Casita is so empty and it leaves her emotionally a mess. And Alberto's energy is just... it's well received in the absence of the energy of the Madrigals that's gone missing from Casita's halls.

It's one such day with them cooking together and chatting about the end of summer and the coming school year. Pepa will be signing any paperwork that needs signing for both Alberto and Luca. And soon the talk turns to an upcoming day. Alberto's birthday.]


If you will invite your friends here to Casita on your birthday I will set up a party. Food and decorations and music. And presents.

[It would be nice to have a party in Casita again. More energy and noise and just... yeah. While she truly wants to throw one for Alberto and thinks he deserves it. She also sort of needs it herself too. The silence and emptiness is so unbearable at times.]

[She lets him process all that and get out his objections. But in the end she's set on it.]

You deserve a party too. I want to do it. You can invite all your friends to it. And choose music and food you want.

[A... compromise? Sort of.]

I miss throwing parties so you're doing me a favor letting me throw you one.

[There. Now he can't argue! She wants to do it! So there!]

[There aren't many people who can out conceal-don't-feel Pepa Madrigal. She studies him a moment.]

The beach would be a nice place for a party. If that is what you want, I can make it happen.

[She will find a way to get everything set up out there. But that isn't the most pressing thing here. Fork down, she reaches to brush his hair back.]

Is there something on your mind, Alberto?

[Ah. Yeah. She knows this very well. We don't talk about Bruno™. For years that was just how things were in the family Madrigal.

Pain and grief and loss and all the hard feelings to navigate.

She's grateful that her gift has been hampered here in Kaisou because the little cloud that rolls in is so little even by standards of the slight shift in mood. She reaches up and shoos it impatiently with the hand not petting his hair.]


You miss him.

[It's not a question.]

It is okay to miss him. I miss him too. You miss people even more at big events like birthdays, you know? If you want to talk about it we can.

[Okay. Anger. Frustration. Raw pain coming out in ways she's not unfamiliar with. She senses maybe it's not all Bruno here. There's likely deeper things tied to Bruno.

Bruno did describe him as seeming like he didn't have anyone. So Pepa can make assumptions from there.

Okay. Jumping right in. She slides her chair out and turns it to face Alberto, listening. What did she want when she was feeling big, complicated feelings? Acknowledgment. To be allowed to feel it instead of placated and told to get it under control.]


Go on.

[Bottling it up always made it worse when the dam finally broke. That's why when faced with the chance to tackle someone else feeling big complicated emotions...

She urges him to let himself feel it.]

[She listens and she watches him and she does her best to understand the tangle of emotions he's feeling.

Boy does she ever know a thing or two about tangled feelings.

She maybe knows a thing or two about missing fathers too. Although, of course, her father died protecting his family. Her and her siblings and her mother. Still. It was a hole that never went away and she understands that.]


Sometimes things happen that we cannot expect. Even adults make mistakes.

[She pulls him close to hold him.]

I know that Bruno would not have broken his promises on purpose. But he did and it is okay to be upset about it even if he did not mean to do it. Unintentional hurt is still hurt.
