Red makes note of the occasion out back on her way from the woods into the bar. She shrugs it off once she sees the sign, though; as far as she can remember, that's someone she never met.
She asks Lady Bar for paper and something to write with, and proceeds to leave a note for a few people.

There's something I want to try this weekend, which should be the full moon in the bar, if one or more of you would be willing to help.

That done, she heads for the fireplace. Hopefully all these flowers won't bother her so much that she has to leave before anyone answers her note.

"Would you rather go outside? I know its cold but it might be easier on your nose,"

There are a good deal of flowers, more than he feels Urquhart perhaps merits but that's not something to say.

"Or upstairs. I didn't want to be in the middle of someone else's occasion."
Not least because she didn't know the man.

"Upstairs, I know the man they're mourning and he wasn't terribly nice,"

He offers her his arm.

She accepts his arm. "What happened that he died?"
Permanently, it would seem, if the dates on the sign are anything to go by.

"An attack of zombies, its not a term I'm familiar with, but enough to kill him. I find it all rather over the top and feels like some funerals I've attended when I was growing up. The action of doing it mattered more than the feelings behind it."

"Gods." It's probably a good thing she missed that mess.
Red shrugs. "Even unsavory people can make friends. It means something to the people who were close to him."
And then she sneezes again. "If someone had just decided to put flowers all over the bar for no reason, I'd be more upset."

"Oh yes, I know and I'm glad that he's having this. Its just not something I feel comfortable dedicating too much time to. Now what about the moon?"

Its the kind of lying that he dislikes.

It can be hard to see how some people make friends. She's not sure what Her Majesty ever did to have Snow's trust so completely when she was little. But that's another matter entirely.
"I want to... try staying inside for the night. It might be something I need to do sometime, and I'd rather find out if it's too much with people I trust around. Helena's already said she'll be there, but the more the merrier."

"Of course I'll be there and you will be able to do it. I believe in you,"

She's starting to see her strength and it makes him hopeful.

Red smiles. "Thank you. I just - want some good company, and someone who can throw the cloak on me if I get overwhelmed."
People who aren't afraid of her. People she trusts with her life.

"You'll have it and you will manage it. I'm sure you will."
