As cute as he was at a distance, his awkward smile melted her heart. He seemed like such a sweet gentle soul which was… a weird thing because she’s seen him rip a door off a car before. “Farmers?” She asked, genuinely interested in what he had to say on the subject. “I hat brought you here then? It’s not exactly farm country.” She paused and laughed. “I’m nosy so if I overstep please tell me? It won’t upset me to be told to calm down.” She cocked her head “no. I’ve lived here my whole life. I’d like to go out and see everything one day though…. That sounds lovely.” She laughed. “Oh boy. You’re telling me! But that’s part of why I like it so much.” She admitted with a soft grin. “Never a dull moment.” She twitched her fingers, unaware that a small spark of flame assed between them as she talked to herc.

HERCULES was beginning to think he was rambling way too much, despite the friends he’d made over the years he still found it incredibly awkward to talk to new people without screwing it up. “Yes yeah– well they mostly grew olives and grain– hot weather plants you know…” he stumbled, flushing at the mediocrity of it, it wasn’t exactly a edge of your seat story. “Uh family– they um, thought I should travel and you know– see other cultures and stuff– I’ve been in America almost ten years.” he explained. “No no never– I like it. No one really ever asks me questions so this is nice.” He smiled softly at her words. “Prentiss has its beauty but I think your heart would ache at the sight of a Santorini sunset, it’s magical.” he confessed “If you ever need any recommendations I have plenty for you”. His eyes flickered to her hands and he double took feeling alarm raise in his head. “–Was that– did you– are you holding a lighter?”

“Hm….” She said, cocking her head. “I hadn’t thought about that but it makes sense that olives are hot weather plants.” She grinned. “That’s actually pretty cool of them, to let you go, I mean. I know some parents like to hold on tight…. Nothing wrong with that though. Some children would love to have parents that cared so much.” She laughed, blushing softly. “Maybe one day. I’ve always loved the ocean.” Ironic, all things considering…. “It would be nice to sail and go to a new place entirely.” She doubted her dad would be keen on letting her go but it didn’t bother her all that much. At least he cared. He mentioned her hand and she had a knee jerk reaction to hide her hand. She stopped herself though. She could trust Hercules, she felt. “No…. Not a lighter…..” she brought her hand forward, letting the small ball of flame sit in her palm. “It’s my special talent… it’s why I live here….”

HERCULES sat cross legged on an old tartan blanket spread across the grass, beside him a cool six pack of beer and two small lunchboxes. One contained a selection of chopped fruit and the other crackers, cheese and some relish. He opened his beer sitting back into a more comfortable position, for the first time since he arrived his eyes fixated on the giant screen. “Oh…” he sighed out loud. “I thought this was the Christmas movie– I guess a horror in June makes more sense.”

She wasn’t going to stay for the movie, but seeing her favorite person caused her to pull up short with a grin. “This is a summerween must watch.” She laughed and waved from where she was standing. “Hello Hercules!” She chirped. “Mind if I join you? I don’t have Christmas food but I did bake some sugar cookies so… close enough?” She said, offering him the Tupperware bowl.

Her lips quirked are his worry. “Even if something did break… they’re just things. People are more important.” Although his sudden presence had left her reeling for a moment, she found herself relaxing with him and was pleased to see he did seem as nice as she had imagined from a distance. “Thank you. My parents were hippies and it shows.” She felt a soft flush at the compliment but tamped it down like she had been taught. “Hercules is very unique too. Are you from here?” She shook his hand and was irked that one singular touch seemed to steal her breath away momentarily and she giggled. “That being said I’m sure there’s people around here I haven’t met. It seems to get larger every year.”

HERCULES smiled at her out look, he sure could use a slice of that optimism and ideals in his life. Everything was always ‘dont break that Hercules!’ and ‘watch yourself thats expensive!’, to hear something so different was refreshing in a way he couldn’t explain. “I’m just glad nothing or no one was hurt.” he grinned. Hercules head cocked to the side as he chuckled at Marigolds words. “Well my parents were farmers so I guess we both got off lucky” he teased, flushing at his own words. He shook his head with a small smile, over the years he had lost the thick accent as he grew more accustomed to life in America, maybe he was beginning to pass as a citizen.

“No.. I’m from Athens… I think... well it’s a long story but I grew up there…” he began, stammering on about unimportant things. His face flushed red as a tomato as he quickly tried to shift the conversation. Gods he hoped Zeus wasn’t watching him. “Have you ever been to Greece?” He nodded in agreement at her statement. “I feel like I meet new people every day. This City has a way of being… unpredictable.”

“Oh! No!” She laughed and shook her head. “I’m hearty. Takes a bit more than a nudge to hurt me.” She wrapped her arms around herself and flushed prettily when he confronted the fact that he knew her.

She would be lying if she said she didn’t know who he was. Her crush felt, at least for the moment, very obvious. But she had done her best to not draw attention to herself. “Well” she thrust her hand out “I’m Marigold.” No need to keep beating around the bush. It would certainly make things easier for her.

HERCULES relaxed his shoulders in response to her words, letting a smile cross his lips. He always worried about hurting people with his awkward and strong limbs flapping around the place, everywhere he went he seemed to cause havoc. “I’m so glad you’re okay. –And that I didn’t break any of your things!” he flushed. Hercules had seen her almost everywhere around the city but every time he got close enough to catch her attention she disappeared just as quick as she’d come into view. Up until this moment he had convinced himself she wasn’t real, a ghost maybe or a figment of his imagination. But neither of those things could be carelessly bumped into. “Marigold, that’s a lovely name.” he smiled extending his own hand to shake hers. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Hercules.”

Mari had been quite amused by all the eggs in town. She had picked up a couple just to see what was in them, putting the money back for someone else to find but deciding to keep the fidget toys she found. She pocketed them and picked up her tote bag, intent on getting to the store before things got too crazy, when she ran right into someone. “Oh! Gee I’m sorry! I-“ she trailed off, her cheeks pinking when she saw who she had just ran into. Hercules. “I’m so sorry.” She muttered stupidly. “Won’t happen again.”

HERCULES hadn’t been expecting to take part in the egg hunt, he was merely planning on showing up to let Mayor Reed know what a fantastic job had been done. He had been caught off guard by helping young children get eggs from hard to reach places and didn’t notice the time fly by, stepping away from the fun he was on his way to quench his thirst from the sunny afternoon when he bumped into another body. Flushed with worry he began to profusely apologise. “No no– it was me I wasn’t looking where I was going– I’m so so very sorry. Are you hurt?” he asked, his eyes meeting the others. Hercules froze in place for a moment. “I..– I know you!”

Standing near the edge of the park, Mason surveyed the area, more empty than he’d thought it would be, worry lines forming around his lips. He was sure he’d hit the jackpot this time. He had spent months putting this event together, and money out of his own pocket hiring help to hide all of the eggs overnight. It was supposed to be a fun surprise, but no one seemed very enthused. He’d only heard a murmur or two about how silly it was. He’d thought at least the twenty dollar bills would make the citizens happy, but it seemed he’d disappointed them again. Where was Jack when you needed him?

Sensing a movement to his left, Mason quickly turned his frown upside down to face his newfound company. “Ah! Hello, friend! Are you enjoying the Eggtravaganza?” He asked, trying not to sound too hopeful.

Mari had just finished rubbing her errands and was about to head home when the mayor stopped her. He looked so worried that it tugged still her heart. She paused to talk to him, the tote draped across her shoulder. “I am actually! It’s been quite fun to see all the colorful eggs popping up!” She had left most of them to open for the kids, of which she hadn’t been one for quite some time. “It was an Incredibly sweet idea.”
