The Bar loves her holidays, but she is also capable of respecting religious strictures. That's why she put a lot of thought into finding a Halloween costume for Harrow that works with her face paint and general insistence on the monochromatic.

Harrow, for her part, is baffled by the white-pinstriped black suit and the oversized bow, but the gloves are very cool, and the buckled shoes suit as well. She has no idea what's going on but she can live with this.

The Bar seems even more unusually populated than usual, and there are a lot of gourds around. Hm.

"I learned at an early age to not overthink this kind of thing. Especially here, where there can be so very many sorts of bonds and relationships, you just, I don't know. You let go, and you love. So long as everyone is happy, it doesn't matter if seems strange to others."

"Oh, would it? Wei Wuxian said it wasn't a typical thing, but not that it would be an obstacle."

She shakes her head. "That's sad. I don't understand it. But even for Valdemar, it's not commonplace, nor is it universally favored. Not for men, anyway. Women have an easier time, I've noticed."

"I'd like to get married one day. Tom and Door, they've been together for a long time, and they still make googly eyes at each other sometimes. And my mother and father were fond of each other. I don't remember a lot about them, but I remember they were so sweet to us, to each other. I hope to find someone to be with like that."

Ugh. She's getting lovelorn and maudlin on Halloween in a Wonder Woman costume. There has to be a bar rule against that!

"But, here now, we're both too young to talk of getting married and settling down. There's much too much to be done before that happens."

"I'm really, really happy for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji," she sighs.

Then she squints, remembering their most recent talk. "I- don't think so? I asked if she was married or had children, because I've known her since I was a kid, but I realized I had no idea. She said no. She's always been, um, aloof. Not in a bad way. More 'I'll protect everyone from harm' and not 'I'll mention any details about my life in conversation'."

"Harrow, you're very poised. Much more poised than I ever am - or ever will be. If you want to be like Moiraine, you can, but I think you're best as Harrow. I bet Gideon does, too."

"And she's still your sworn sword and cavalier," Ingress reminds her. "One flesh, one end."

It's so romantic. SO SO SO romantic.

"Yes, and you'd best get used to it, silly," she says. She almost reaches out to pat her on the shoulder, but thinks better of it at the last minute, gripping the lasso on her hip instead.

That gets her a full on "awwwwwwww".

"You deserve it, Harrow. You both do. I'm happy for you."

"If it helps, everyone usually is, no matter whether they've been in love or not. I certainly feel like that each time."

"I thought I was. I was 17 the first time, and it was here. I'm fairly sure the second time was true love, but there were things in Haven that got in the way, and it didn't last much longer than a year or so."

"Harrow, you are the farthest thing from foolish that I can imagine. You're definitely not the first teenager at Milliways to have never contemplated love."
