It’s got all your basic moving parts: Gen and Irene heading up to the crenellations,
Phresine loving on baby Hector while baby Eugenia drops a stolen earring that matches her dad’s (with her mountain goat plushie nearby),
Helen and Sophos just being stupid cute with their wee heir, while the Magus still studies his map and Pol’s sword leans on the wall beneath the three countries’ banners,
Your pantheon of deities, with the Great Goddess at the center,
Teleus and Relius enjoying each other’s company while Pheris (now with mobility aid!) ignores them (also there’s a pigeon),
Costis and bespectacled Kamet with a plate of nut cakes, and a familiar author in the background with her stack of six books,
And, finally, our long-awaited elephant, while two of Gen’s attendants search for their king.
I need to talk about the beauty of these three coming together in the first gif, and more specifically about Rey and Poe. Oh my god. Look at them.
Because the thing is: Finn and Poe have already embraced before this. Rey is the only new arrival here. And while Finn and Rey have hugged one another at every hello for as long as they’ve known each other, Poe still doesn’t know her very well, and yet he ducks under her arm and buries his face in Finn’s neck as the two of them embrace, perhaps not expecting to be as included in the hug as he is. Rey and Poe only know each other because of Finn, and they love him so much, and he loves them so much, and so they matter to one another so much despite not knowing each other all that well yet. The way they both embrace him and Poe reaches up to clutch her hand and Rey reaches around Finn’s back for him too oh my god I can’t handle it. They’re all family now thanks to Finn.
