Hades: It did heal remarkably fast. As I hope your random bleeding did.
Hades: I suppose I can be convinced.
Hades: As long as I can bring you something to wear. It is even for your current form.

Valour 5 oh, now I’m curious. Feel free, I’ll be waiting for you.
Valour 5 😘

[He takes a screenshot because emojis are cute but he does arrive short with a small package draped over his arm.]

And what were your plans?

Gardening.

I have been gifted with a garden as an upgrade, where we might plant as many flowers as we'd like.

Obviously I wanted to share it with you.

Someone knows you well.

[He leans down to kiss his cheek.]

I surmise you already have an idea of what you want to plant.

[ he looks so pleased at the kiss, pretty much beaming ]

I've gotten seeds for white heathers first. I thought it was apt as our first one.

Such a simple gesture to produce such a smile.

[And he can only shake his head.]

It would be. A perfect choice.

Shall we? I can have you wear this after.

Well maybe it's just easy to smile when I'm with you. Let's put your present in my room first, then we can get to work.

[He does drop it off there and takes off his jacket and rolls up his sleeves.]

You’ve never done this, correct?

[ He'll also lose a few layers, and he nods ]

I haven't, no, barring a small attempt with a flower from Caeli's home. But that was more me watching him take care of it.

This one, though, I want it to be together with you.

[He takes his hand kneels down so he can kiss the knuckles.]

I would be more than honored to, my dear

[ he's trying his best to hide the blush but It's Not Very Effective. Once again he smiles, unable to hide just how charmed he is ]

You can pick the next batch we end up planting. That'd be nice.

[ and because i forgot here's the description of the garden ]

I think I have an idea but first…

This place is really lovely. Tell me what you like about it.

It's full of life.

There aren't people here but it doesn't make me feel lonely even if I'm alone in here. It helps when the pier is not enough to calm me down.

Then I will do well to remember it. I would want to recreate this place for you when we are no longer stuck here.

[He does look over at the pond area as he stands taking his hand.]

That is quite the thoughtful addition.

It was. I hadn't expected fishes, but it's nice.

[ he squeezes his hand lightly, enjoying the contact and being close to him like this ]

And the place in general is especially nice when it gives me a perfect excuse to put my lovely fiancé to work.

I do have some serious matters to discuss first, though, if it will not ruin the mood

I expect you would considering all that has happened.

[He sits in the grass trying to tuck him down with him.]

And we can reward ourselves with planting once the heavy topics are over.

[ he sits down with him, moving onto his lap and wrapping his arms around his neck right away ]

First I wanted to ask if you've talked with Levity, since you mentioned that. ... and how it went.

It’s ... better.

I am more convinced he will become a useless sad pile on the floor in regards to our work than actually actively an adversary.

That’s not much better but I take it you have reached an understanding regarding his scolding.

[ leaning in to kiss his cheek, and then press his forehead against his ]

How are you feeling?

On the contrary, that I can handle much better, draining as it can be at times.

[He wraps his arms around him.]

How do I feel?

I don’t believe he realizes he was even acting in such a manner. And I would not entertain discussion on the Sundering if we could not handle a topic as simple as game strategy.

We did try to separate them, acceptance versus understanding. He will come around to the second easier than the first. He might not agree or be able to execute a Baritone’s strategy, and I would not want him to if it made him uncomfortable, but he at least isn’t throwing it a careless an eye as before.

And it is difficult because he sees injuring others in games a willful act on a unit’s part. As long as he believes that then, yes, it will always be easier to judge, easier to hurt and be hurt. Lily also has this problem. And where else is the guilt and frustration to go when you believe that?

And I have been keeping him at arm’s length. Hiding in the ways that I do. I will need to be more open if the bond is to flourish.

Though there is one very dreadful thing…

He doesn’t laugh at my morbid jokes like you do.

Well. He does tend to be a judgmental asshole which is how all of our arguments begun. But if he manages to come around then that's good.

There's no saving his sense of humor, though.

He has been harsh at times. Struggling as he has been to find himself. But let us see where it leads.

While it was quite tiring, it was needed. And now I have moments with you where I can relax.

And do not take this as a means that you must also make up with him. You do have enough on your plate.

We've reached an understanding last time we talked, so it isn't as if there's anything to make up for. I just don't like judgemental behavior.

[ he'll lean in to kiss his cheek again ]

But I am glad to hear things are working toward a direction you might be happier with. You deserve it.

And I had another matter to discuss, regarding Ardbert.
