[netherum-destruction]

[The next time netherum would see athena, they’d be sitting in the garden. Sitting on his knees, bandages wrapped around their upper arms and their thighs. He did seem distracted though, not fully noticing everything around them]

@dimmed-out-flames

[Netherum frowns, eyes narrowing on the bandages]

Hey, ‘thena?

[He steps outside, approaching them slowly to not startle her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena turns their head around and smiles, hands covered in what looked to be some kind of soil for their flower]

“Hello..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Whatre we doing today, hm? Some gardening?

[They ease themself down next to her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

“The rose needed a bigger pot..! It was outgrowing it”

[Athena answered, showing the wither rose that sat in a larger red pot]

[netherum-destruction]

Oh, so i see, it’s gotten big. Just, out of curiosity, have you been taking your potions?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hummed as he patted the soil into the pot gently making sure it was even]

“It has! It’s almost finished i think.. growing that is! I don’t think i’ll need to repot it again..”

[netherum-destruction]

Hm, itd be quite the hassle to keep repotting it

[He presses a kiss to their head]

Why’re you wearing bandages, sweetheart? Did you hurt yourself?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glances at the bandages and then back up at him]

“Icarus says it’ll help”

[netherum-destruction]

Help what?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“What they did!”

[Athena said back, as they turned back to the pot]

[netherum-destruction]

…what did they do?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glanced back at him once more, confused on their face]

“I.. I can’t say yet! I want you to be happy with.. it! And icarus says this will help and you’ll be happy with it!”

[netherum-destruction]

Please, ‘thena? I’ll be happy with it now, im sure-

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hesitated for a second, thinking hard before smiling]

“They took.. some samples! It hurt.. a lot.. but! They are going to help it go away! and so i don’t need to keep taking your potions!”

[netherum-destruction]

Samples of you? Like your blood?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Mmhm! And the wither! I think.. that’s all! “

[Athena hummed with a smile]

“It’ll help! They offered! ‘cause we’re friends!”

[netherum-destruction]

…Mkay, as long as youre happy

[He kisses their head]

Why dont we go inside, take our potions and have some luch after?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I can’t take it! It might mess with icarus’s tests.. lunch sounds yummy though!”

[netherum-destruction]

Little one… you need to take your potions, theyre keeping you safe

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t want to be a bad friend! If i take it then.. then.. i’ll need to give icarus more.. samples..”

[netherum-destruction]

…fine, okay - but tell me if Icarus needs more, okay?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena fidgets with their bandage on their and nod their head]

“Are you.. upset..”

[netherum-destruction]

No, bubba, im not. Thank you for trusting me

[She smiles and kisses her head]

Now, what do you want for lunch?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t know.. can it be warm? I’m feeling a lil’ cold”

[Athena held their good hand out to him]

[netherum-destruction]

[He holds her hand, walking back to the house]

Sure, how about some pizza?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena nods happily, holding his hand back]

“Yeah!”

[netherum-destruction]

Would you like it spicy too?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Mmhm..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Lets go then

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hopped along excitedly]

“I can’t wait! ‘m so hungry!”

[netherum-destruction]

[When they get inside, Neth hands Athena a cookie to stave off the hunger while he starts making the pizzas]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[He’d happily eat it, sitting down on a stool near the kitchen, watching neth as they did so]

[netherum-destruction]

[They smile and put on a little show of making the pizzas for Athena, showing off]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena laughs and claps their hands together at the little show. A happy twinkle in their eyes]

[netherum-destruction]

[Neth clicks his fingers and his hands catch fire, and he uses the fire to cook the pizzas in only a few minutes]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena’s eyes grew wide before clapping even more. Watching everything with the same twinkle.]

“I want to do that..”

[netherum-destruction]

Then i’ll teach you, it takes a lot of practise though

[He passes them their pizza. It has a smiley face on it]

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Really..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Mhm, anything you want to learn, i’ll do it with you

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena grinned before taking a bite of their pizza happily]

[netherum-destruction]

[He sits beside them, kissing their head before starting to eat his own pizza]

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[Icarus walked into the kitchen confused, like they were missing something]

“Ath-“

[They’d stop themselves glancing at the two of them before blinking. Athena perked up excitedly and waved at them]

[netherum-destruction]

Hey there kiddo! We’re just having some lunch, would you like some?

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[They’d do one last glance between the two]

“Uh. No thanks. I’m not hungry. Could.. i borrow athena afterwards? I.. need to talk to him-“

[netherum-destruction]

Why? You two have plans- anything fun?

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

“I’m just.. helping them with something.”

[They’d shuffle slightly, turning to leave]

“Well. I’ll be out of your way”

[netherum-destruction]

No no, stay- have some pizza with us

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

“No. I’m.. okay. Really.”

[netherum-destruction]

Are you sure?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Icarus would mumble out a ‘yeah’ before leaving the room. Athena stared between them before putting more pizza into their mouth]

[netherum-destruction]

[Neth smiles at Athena, kissing her head]

Are you enjoying your lunch?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Its good pizza!”

[netherum-destruction]

Thank you! I can teach you how to do this too

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Really???”

[netherum-destruction]

[The next time netherum would see athena, they’d be sitting in the garden. Sitting on his knees, bandages wrapped around their upper arms and their thighs. He did seem distracted though, not fully noticing everything around them]

No, bubba, im not. Thank you for trusting me

[She smiles and kisses her head]

Now, what do you want for lunch?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t know.. can it be warm? I’m feeling a lil’ cold”

[Athena held their good hand out to him]

[netherum-destruction]

[He holds her hand, walking back to the house]

Sure, how about some pizza?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena nods happily, holding his hand back]

“Yeah!”

[netherum-destruction]

Would you like it spicy too?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Mmhm..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Lets go then

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hopped along excitedly]

“I can’t wait! ‘m so hungry!”

[netherum-destruction]

[When they get inside, Neth hands Athena a cookie to stave off the hunger while he starts making the pizzas]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[He’d happily eat it, sitting down on a stool near the kitchen, watching neth as they did so]

[netherum-destruction]

[They smile and put on a little show of making the pizzas for Athena, showing off]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena laughs and claps their hands together at the little show. A happy twinkle in their eyes]

[netherum-destruction]

[Neth clicks his fingers and his hands catch fire, and he uses the fire to cook the pizzas in only a few minutes]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena’s eyes grew wide before clapping even more. Watching everything with the same twinkle.]

“I want to do that..”

[netherum-destruction]

Then i’ll teach you, it takes a lot of practise though

[He passes them their pizza. It has a smiley face on it]

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Really..!”

[netherum-destruction]

[The next time netherum would see athena, they’d be sitting in the garden. Sitting on his knees, bandages wrapped around their upper arms and their thighs. He did seem distracted though, not fully noticing everything around them]

@dimmed-out-flames

[Netherum frowns, eyes narrowing on the bandages]

Hey, ‘thena?

[He steps outside, approaching them slowly to not startle her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena turns their head around and smiles, hands covered in what looked to be some kind of soil for their flower]

“Hello..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Whatre we doing today, hm? Some gardening?

[They ease themself down next to her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

“The rose needed a bigger pot..! It was outgrowing it”

[Athena answered, showing the wither rose that sat in a larger red pot]

[netherum-destruction]

Oh, so i see, it’s gotten big. Just, out of curiosity, have you been taking your potions?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hummed as he patted the soil into the pot gently making sure it was even]

“It has! It’s almost finished i think.. growing that is! I don’t think i’ll need to repot it again..”

[netherum-destruction]

Hm, itd be quite the hassle to keep repotting it

[He presses a kiss to their head]

Why’re you wearing bandages, sweetheart? Did you hurt yourself?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glances at the bandages and then back up at him]

“Icarus says it’ll help”

[netherum-destruction]

Help what?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“What they did!”

[Athena said back, as they turned back to the pot]

[netherum-destruction]

…what did they do?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glanced back at him once more, confused on their face]

“I.. I can’t say yet! I want you to be happy with.. it! And icarus says this will help and you’ll be happy with it!”

[netherum-destruction]

Please, ‘thena? I’ll be happy with it now, im sure-

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hesitated for a second, thinking hard before smiling]

“They took.. some samples! It hurt.. a lot.. but! They are going to help it go away! and so i don’t need to keep taking your potions!”

[netherum-destruction]

Samples of you? Like your blood?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Mmhm! And the wither! I think.. that’s all! “

[Athena hummed with a smile]

“It’ll help! They offered! ‘cause we’re friends!”

[netherum-destruction]

…Mkay, as long as youre happy

[He kisses their head]

Why dont we go inside, take our potions and have some luch after?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I can’t take it! It might mess with icarus’s tests.. lunch sounds yummy though!”

[netherum-destruction]

Little one… you need to take your potions, theyre keeping you safe

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t want to be a bad friend! If i take it then.. then.. i’ll need to give icarus more.. samples..”

[netherum-destruction]

…fine, okay - but tell me if Icarus needs more, okay?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena fidgets with their bandage on their and nod their head]

“Are you.. upset..”

[netherum-destruction]

No, bubba, im not. Thank you for trusting me

[Athena glances at the bandages and then back up at him]

“Icarus says it’ll help”

[netherum-destruction]

Help what?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“What they did!”

[Athena said back, as they turned back to the pot]

[netherum-destruction]

…what did they do?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glanced back at him once more, confused on their face]

“I.. I can’t say yet! I want you to be happy with.. it! And icarus says this will help and you’ll be happy with it!”

[netherum-destruction]

Please, ‘thena? I’ll be happy with it now, im sure-

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hesitated for a second, thinking hard before smiling]

“They took.. some samples! It hurt.. a lot.. but! They are going to help it go away! and so i don’t need to keep taking your potions!”

[netherum-destruction]

Samples of you? Like your blood?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“Mmhm! And the wither! I think.. that’s all! “

[Athena hummed with a smile]

“It’ll help! They offered! ‘cause we’re friends!”

[netherum-destruction]

…Mkay, as long as youre happy

[He kisses their head]

Why dont we go inside, take our potions and have some luch after?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I can’t take it! It might mess with icarus’s tests.. lunch sounds yummy though!”

[netherum-destruction]

Little one… you need to take your potions, theyre keeping you safe

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t want to be a bad friend! If i take it then.. then.. i’ll need to give icarus more.. samples..”

[netherum-destruction]

…fine, okay - but tell me if Icarus needs more, okay?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena fidgets with their bandage on their and nod their head]

“Are you.. upset..”

[netherum-destruction]

No, bubba, im not. Thank you for trusting me

[She smiles and kisses her head]

Now, what do you want for lunch?

[dimmed-out-flames]

“I don’t know.. can it be warm? I’m feeling a lil’ cold”

[Athena held their good hand out to him]

[netherum-destruction]

[The next time netherum would see athena, they’d be sitting in the garden. Sitting on his knees, bandages wrapped around their upper arms and their thighs. He did seem distracted though, not fully noticing everything around them]

@dimmed-out-flames

[Netherum frowns, eyes narrowing on the bandages]

Hey, ‘thena?

[He steps outside, approaching them slowly to not startle her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena turns their head around and smiles, hands covered in what looked to be some kind of soil for their flower]

“Hello..!”

[netherum-destruction]

Whatre we doing today, hm? Some gardening?

[They ease themself down next to her]

[dimmed-out-flames]

“The rose needed a bigger pot..! It was outgrowing it”

[Athena answered, showing the wither rose that sat in a larger red pot]

[netherum-destruction]

Oh, so i see, it’s gotten big. Just, out of curiosity, have you been taking your potions?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena hummed as he patted the soil into the pot gently making sure it was even]

“It has! It’s almost finished i think.. growing that is! I don’t think i’ll need to repot it again..”

[netherum-destruction]

Hm, itd be quite the hassle to keep repotting it

[He presses a kiss to their head]

Why’re you wearing bandages, sweetheart? Did you hurt yourself?

[dimmed-out-flames]

[Athena glances at the bandages and then back up at him]
