That's fine. Swan is really friendly and outgoing, so I don't think they'll have issues. But um, Tiger can... be kind of mean and blunt, so that might make people not want to check on them. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be looked after. I kind of think they do it on purpose sometimes, but we're not that close, s-so...
But they have passed on from the world. I do not know if they are dead, or simply unable to live in the realm of mortals like we once did, but it is likely they no longer see me in the night sky.
[Welcome to the inherent tragedy of horse dad, Rabbit. But hey, he smiles and shakes his head]
I carry them in my hearts as best I can. They would not want me to mourn them so.
it is most likely that rabbit doesn't have kids (it's not completely out of the question?? but just going by their age, it's slightly less likely??) and, even if they did, it's not like they remember them. so it's hard to picture what this type of loss is like, when there's nothing to compare it to. ]
I'm sure they remember you too, even if they can't see you anymore. Family seems... really important to you. It's nice, even if it might make you sad.

no subject

Well. I suppose better to say that I was a father at one point.
no subject
Was it a long time ago?
no subject
... I gave up my immortality and so passed into death -- well, strictly speaking, I was put up in the stars as a constellation, but...
[Shaking his head some]
Regardless, I will never see my family again.
no subject

Would they know it was you? The constellation?

[In a manner of speaking]
Do you remember if you also have family...?
no subject
I don't. But... hopefully I did! I think having a big one would be nice.
