It was another late night. He stepped through the doorway to her estate, careful to remove his shoes first. She hated it when he tracked mud and grime through the building and got it all over the floor, and tonight the last thing he wanted to do was irritate her when both of them were tired.

As he lifted his head from the ground, he caught a glimpse of his face in the entryway mirror. He was covered in blood and was sporting an unsightly bruise under his jaw. Through that mirror he could also see his master walking down the hallway stairs, dressed in her laboratory apron.

“You’ve returned alive. Were you successful?”

He nodded to affirm and took off the bag slouched across his chest, reaching inside to pull out a canning jar with a dark and shimmering liquid inside. A smile crossed her face at the sight and she took the jar from him.

“It’s not much but it will do perfectly.” She looked up to make eye contact with Demarcus directly, and the smile vanished when she took in the state of her loyal servant.

“You better come with me so we can clean you up. I appreciate that you remembered to remove your shoes.”

He nodded and followed her. They didn’t go up the stairs but into a room on the same level. She opened the door to reveal a modest washroom, complete with a sink and bathtub. He was surprised to see that the light was already on and the bath had been prepared; a light steam rose from the water and some towels and soaps were set on the counter.

“I’ll bring a chance of clothes later. In the meantime get yourself clean.”

He looked to his master. The woman who saved his life when he thought he was inches from death, who he served dutifully ever since. The Esoteric who saved him, no less.

“Thank you, Cordelia.”

So. We’re fine. The world is insane right now and I’m still not sure I’m not still in the coma??

Rosie looked up and grinned her little baby-toothy smile at the sound. She giggled in amusement, then put the wad of grass she had collected to her mouth in imitation, though no sound was produced.

He couldn’t help but smile at this, finding her copying him absolutely adorable.

“It’s good to have a love for the outdoors.” He nodded. “Once she’s old enough we should absolutely take her camping and hiking.”

[detectiveastro]

“I couldn’t agree more,” Adrien grinned. “I think she’d like that. As would I.”

[draconicheracles]

He smiled a bit. “I’m glad I’ve found myself a family that loves the outdoors as much as I do.”

[detectiveastro]

“Well, I may have more time on my hands now. I haven’t been on a good hike in several years.”

Adrien blush slightly at Demarcus’ designation of family. He could hardly contain his delight. He looked at Rosie, who looked up at the two men with a wide, toothy little grin.

[draconicheracles]

Demarcus looked back down at Rosie and took a seat next to her in the grass. “Are you enjoying yourself, Rositsa?”

[detectiveastro]

Rosie nodded her head, still smiling. “Yes,” her little voice stated matter-of-factly. She hadn’t been speaking for very long, but she had already picked up a few words. With that being said, she plopped herself down the grass to pluck some of the blades beside her.

[draconicheracles]

He picked a larger, wide piece of grass and pulled his mask below his chin. “Watch this.” He placed the blade between his thumbs, put it to his lips, and blew. It made a whistling sound.

Halloween/Autumn Sentence Starters

I feel like I do one of these every year, but you know what? Always a good thing to revisit! 

“Can you help me rake? I’ll let you jump in the leaf pile.” “I don’t usually do anything for Halloween.” “Let’s go for a walk. The trees are beautiful.” “Halloween is my favorite holiday and I never have any plans.” “I’ve got a collection of horror movies and pizza delivery on speed dial. Want to come over?” “I’m having a bonfire. You should join me.” “I love the smell of autumn.” “There’s a huge haunted house opening up this weekend. Want to go?” “A walk in the woods seems like a bad idea. Ever seen Blair Witch Project?” “What kind of candy should we get?” “I’m getting the chocolate for me, and the lollipops we can give to the kids.” “Ooh! A pumpkin patch! We have to stop.” “Do you want to check out that corn maze?” “I hate haunted houses. Why would I pay for someone to scream at me?” “Honestly, I’d rather see teens trick-or-treating than breaking windows and egging houses.” “What’s the use of putting peanut butter on a pinecone?” “I’m just passing out candy this year.” “I’m making some cocoa. Do you want some?” “Should we buy some patterns for our pumpkins or just wing it?” “Autumn is my favorite season.” “Don’t tell me you’ve never had a candy apple.” “This time of year is the best just for all the creepy shows on TV.” “Million dollar question: Nightmare Before Christmas or Hocus Pocus?” “Want to make an autumn wreath with me?” “If you carve a dick on this pumpkin, I swear to god.” “I’ve been waiting all year for sweater weather.” “Is it too cliche to visit a cemetery on Halloween?” “I wish I could put apple cider in a pick line and drink it forever.” “What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?” “I got invited to a costume party. Do you want to come with me?” “Bobbing for apples is gross. Everyone’s nasty faces have been in there.” “Gourds are so ugly but also so cute. I want a thousand of them.” “I’m thinking of hosting a Halloween party this year.” “Trick-or-treating is for children. Let’s go cause some trouble.” “That hay ride was a lot scarier than I thought it would be.” “Painting pumpkins is cute, but it takes away all the fun of the guts.” “I’m in a baking mood. I hope you like cookies.” “I’m just not in the Halloween spirit yet.” “I want to decorate the yard big time this year.” “The scariest looking houses always give the best candy, it’s fact.” “My parents never used to let me do anything fun on Halloween.” “Want to hear a spooky story?” “Here, I knitted you something!” “Everyone is excited for Halloween, but I can’t wait to stuff my face on Thanksgiving.” “I think our house is haunted.” “A ouija board on Halloween: what could go wrong?”

💜- A memory about one of their loved ones, happy or sad

Demarcus has only a few foggy memories of his mother.

He recalls a time when he walked huddled to her side through the streets of Athens, draped in a coat that was much too big in order to conceal his wings and scales. She had a hand firmly placed on his shoulder, to anchor him to her. The street was loud and crowded, but that one hand made him feel safe. It would be much later when he realized how bad things really were for them, but the memory still felt happy despite all that.

In the midst of the chaos, he looked up at his mother’s face, world-worn and tired, but filled with love.

“S'agapó mitéra,” he said in the hushed voice of a child.

His mother smiled and replied, “ S'agapó, Demaraki.”

[draconicheracles]

He took a moment to look around, the smile reaching his eyes even when it couldn’t be seen with a mask on. “It’s quite lovely. Reminds me of some of the countrysides I’d explore in Europe.”

[detectiveastro]

Adrien hummed. He’d never been to Europe, but he could imagine the similarity. “I like how quiet it is. I mean, the real place isn’t this quiet, of course, but it’s serene. I used to sit out here for hours.”

[draconicheracles]

“That’s the thing about this kind of magic. It leaves out a lot of the little details but gets the whole picture right, at least that’s how Miss Archer explained it.”

[detectiveastro]

“It feels a lot like a dream,” Adrien mused, looking around.

[draconicheracles]

He nodded. Spending so much time in Miss Archer’s own world he could find the giveaways a bit easier, but that didn’t take away any of the magic for him. He slowly reached for Adrien’s hand now that Miss Archer had left the three of them to themselves.

[detectiveastro]

Adrien noticed and took his hand, smiling softly. It had been a long while, and a lot had happened in the time they were apart.

Rosie pulled away to plop down on the ground and play with the grass and dirt around her, content as could be.

[draconicheracles]

Demarcus smiled a bit more as Rosie started to play. “She’s easy to entertain, isn’t she?”
