Re: Bea + Lo
"I will, thanks," Bea said, settling themself down. Bea knew of Lauren more than actually knowing her, but they were surprised to hear she wanted to speak to them. "Oh! Really, no thanks required. I know how much this means to people, me included. And honestly it's less a time of year and more a time of... century I suppose," they said. It was the first time they had had to juggle living out in the world and the handover of power at the Oasis. "It really wasn't all me, but I do love organising for a community event," they said. "Besides, letting as many people as possible take part is kind of my thing," they added with a shrug.
"I absolutely don't mind, but I'd check with anyone particularly identifiable before you publish it," they said. "I know it's a public event, and it's Tarrytown, but you can never be sure how out anyone is," they said. They were, and they suspected would always be, fiercely protective of those who wanted to keep themselves a little more private for whatever reason. "I don't want to put anyone in an awkward position in the name of marketing," they said without accusation. The suit alone suggested Lauren had a good idea of that sort of sensitivity.
