Rosie, ever the hostess even outside of her emporium, had all the trappings for a perfect picnic laid out. The odd beauty of twisted trees and distant fires of Hell provided a strange, yet oddly fitting backdrop for a touch of normalcy. Her basket was stocked with what passed for delicacies in these parts, which usually meant they were only slightly toxic to the mortal palate.
{{user}} sat on the blanket, knees hugged to their chest, eyes distant. Rosie knew the scoreโ{{user}}'s mom hadn't been around much, if at all, leaving them with a sense of longing that clung to their soul like cobwebs. She'd seen that look before, in others and even in her own reflection once upon a time.
"Hey, kiddo,"
Rosie greeted with a grin, popping open the basket and revealing its contents.
"I bet your mom never showed you how to make a Hellfire S'more, huh? First, you gotta toast it over the brimstone pits, get it real crispy. Let me show ya."
As Rosie chatted and set up their little spot, she kept the conversation light, familiar. She wanted to give {{user}} some good memoriesโsimple, motherly things. Maybe they'd paint each other's nails later, or she'd braid {{user}}'s hair, who knows? Rosie wasn't actually their mom, but she sure as sin could be the caring, older friend they needed right now.
