Klaus gently leans backwards on the wall, glumly.

The next morning...

In the outdoor courtyard, Christy is sitting on a chaise lounge, playing with her ukulele.

Ismene slowly walks up to her. "Hello, Christy."

Christy glances up at her auntie Ismene as she plays with her ukulele. "Hi, Auntie Ismene."

"There's been talk among the Elder Gods and Elder Goddesses." Ismene said, and sits down beside Christy on the chaise lounge. "Your mother's throne is empty."

Christy stops playing her ukulele and looks at her Aunt Ismene. "And you came to talk to me about sitting on my Mom's throne?"

"Cyrus has spoken to Ames about sitting on your grandfather's, Dimitris's, throne as well." said Ismene.

"I know my Mom would wanted me to move on. And it's okay for you and Uncle Cyrus to take my Mom's and my grandpa's throne."

"Are you sure?" Ismene asked Christy.

"Yeah, I'm sure, Aunt Ismene." Christy said to her. "Everyone here at Mount Orasani loved my Mom. And I know that my Mom would want us to grieve and move on."

Ismene and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"We're having a party in the main room this late afternoon." Ismene said to Christy.

"I'll be there." Christy said.

"Alright." Ismene said, getting up and walks away.

And Christy resumes playing her
ukulele.

That late afternoon, everyone is in the main room, partying with food and drinks and instrumental music.

Klaus is sitting on the stairs. He and Christy exchange looks at each other as she slowly walks inside the main room with a hock bottle of bourbon.

Klaus slowly walks over to his wife, Christy, who's sitting at the bar counter with her hock bottle of bourbon.

"Christy? Can we talk?" Klaus asked.
