[A year ago, a flask come through the portal with a lifetime of memories held within it, and Taako spent this holiday mourning Lup for the first time again in a decade. He hadn't known then, how things would resolve themselves and he'd been terrified that Lup was gone forever. It's hard to forget how rough those first few days were, and how much Clark did for him during that time. The whole thing leaves him feeling nostalgic, something that isn't helped by Magnus's recent departure.
It makes him a little more willing to indulge in things like mourning, for all his complaints about this particular holiday, though he's still fairly private about collecting lanterns and getting them ready.
Taako sits on the shore in a red robe, a comforting item, with a handful of lanterns set in front of him. He doesn't bother with words, he doesn't really see the point, but he uses a little magic to decorate each one that he's planning to let loose. The first is the least painful, a blue lantern with a familiar red shield. If Clark isn't here to send a lantern for Krypton, Taako can do one in his place. He understands what it's like to lose a world. The next lantern is... more difficult. Rin left the Quarantine safely, but Taako doesn't know what his fate will be back home, not with Pharolin out there, and he felt caught by the urge to do something. So there's a black lantern that he enchants to glow with fluorescence, rather than lighting a candle within it. If he says anything when he releases it, the words are closer to good luck than anything truly mourning.
The final lantern is more plain; Taako didn't know Julia well but he knows that Magnus is returning to Fearun to love her and lose her and one day Taako and Merle are going to kill the man who took her from Magnus. For now, though, the least he can do is release a lantern for her. And maybe part of it is dealing with the fact Magnus is gone, from here, but Taako isn't likely to admit that.
He isn't opposed to company while he weaves spells over the lanterns, if only because at least this time he isn't crying.]
