Flesh and bone

Cereal and coffee sounds like the perfect breakfast, especially if you’re in a hurry. I drink orange juice too every morning. Do you know what’s delicious to add into your cereals?

And you have a four year old who won't sit still when you try and braid her hair! Orange juice is so delicious. I try and get it whenever I can. What's delicious? I've never added anything to my cereal to be honest!

I’m Ariel…I’m sorry i was rude, please don’t apologize.

I wouldn't say rude, but more upfront, which is alright. Ariel? Just like the little mermaid! It's nice to meet you Ariel. I'm Alex.

I absolutely love the weekend!

That sounds delicious actually. But bacon, too? I’m not a fan of anything greasy early in the morning personally.

Oh but see, I bake it. There's a lot less grease. Plus it's delicious. I don't make it often, though. I save it as sort of a special breakfast every now and then. Cereal is usually what I have. Coffee too.

If you didn’t do that, they would probably come naturally to you.

Well then, I won't capture them anymore, i'll just let them fly around freely, miss....I didn't catch your name, i'm so sorry.

If you love them why do you keep them captive before letting them fly freely?

I don't know. I let them fly around freely more than capture them, I guess.

I love catching fireflies

Really? Why?

Because they're beautiful. I let them go, and watch them fly around my backyard.

So that’s what you do with your free time?

Before I start working on case files after I put my daughter to bed, yeah. It's relaxing to just watch them fly around and sometimes I catch some in my hands.

Oh my bad! Banana and chocolate chip? As in in the same pancake? Sounds interesting.

It's one of the best, and i've perfected it over time and many...years i've made them. I usually make bacon too.

Whoever Hannah is, she’s a lucky lady if you’re making her pancakes.

#your characters fc is absolutely beautiful!!!#c: jasmine

Hannah's my four year old daughter. She is lucky though! I'm quite good at pancakes, especially banana chocolate chip.

I absolutely love the weekend!

But who doesn't? Right now i'm in bed with some coffee, reading before Hannah wakes up.

I'm gonna make pancakes.

Shawn rolled her eyes playfully, “Oh please, all of her clothes are little! I couldn’t be that much!” She smiled humbly, “It’s home.” and then came a light airy laugh when she was called kind, a big grin growing on her face, “Oh I’d love to meet her! We’d give her special treatment.” She chuckled, letting her voice trail off, “You seem like a great father.”

She nodded as Alex explained, “Oh how special! Wonderful.” Shawn was secretly hoping that Alex hadn’t dealt with anything concerning her and her circus… Because there were a few instances where… Well, that’s not important. “I’m kind?” She asked, “You seem like such a nice man. I would say keep up the good work but I have a hunch that you will without me tellin’ ya, ah-ha!~” She paused for a moment before asking, “What did you say your daughters name was, again?”

Alex laughed scratching the back of his neck. "Well yes, they're so...very...very tiny. Sometimes it still amazes me by how small they are. I do both our laundry together and I have a bit more, but...i always manage." Alex liked her airy laugh. There was joy in it, and every movement she made was fluid and warm, like fire. Yes, if Alex had to say anything about Shawn, it was that she was like candle light. Very much alive and very beautiful to look at. But he dare not do anything else, because if you got to close to candle fire you could get burned. He sighed but then shrugged. "I try to be...sometimes I curse in front of her, and I hate that. I always tell her not to say what I just said but it just slips from her mouth."

"I try to be kind. Being unkind never did anything. Like some people say, you catch more flies with honey." He smiled softly, his eyes lighting up when she asked about his daughter's name. "Hannah. I call her Hannah Banana mostly though."

Oh, it’s alright.

What song was it?

"It's a hard knock life." from Annie. Is...everything ok? You look so pale and scared!

…What are you doing?

I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm just going home for the evening and i've had this song in my head for forever and I had to sing it to get it out of my head.

The pang in his chest quickly shifted to a pleasant burn upon Hannah’s return and although he’d found substitute in the young one’s father, he couldn’t but smile back at the girl in response. His attention was somewhat divided now that he was conversing with an actual adult, attempts at being simple and unburdened harder to push through but Alex too was a lighthearted company, so it was less of a bother than it usually is. “Mind the fact that they’re on a burial ground and sort of spooky at night.” But the buildings weren’t the one to blame for his nightmares and sleepless nights. It was him, his doings and his father that haunted the man.

"Oh…" Dominic tamed his smile, not wanting to offed Alex by chuckling through such an emotional subject seeing how he didn’t know anything about why his wife was out of picture. The two didn’t know each other well enough for him to further question Alex about it, so he brushed the topic off “I’m sorry. I do share the sentiment of being on your own against the world, except that I’m not as lucky as yourself to have such a positive companion by my side.”

Alex's eyes widened a little.Barton hollow was a strange little place, he learned, and there were things here that you couldn't understand and never really questioned. He had learned that when he had gotten his first fae client. "I heard that," He said with a slight chuckle. "We mostly see the uh..alligators when we go downtown. Hannah doesn't like them, honestly, and I think that's pretty smart of her." He watched as Hannah crawled back up with the seaweed with her. Making a face, he chuckled. "Oh Hannah, put that down!" He chuckled as she stuck out her tongue and sat against Dominic, smiling. "You don't mind that do you?"

As his companion smile fell, he nodded. "It's ok," He said in a non committal kind of voice. Alex didn't have high hopes for romance in his life. Who would want to be involved with a single father? Much less one that, some days, couldn't hold it together. Looking to Hannah who was now leaning against Dominic, he smiled. "She's....a good thing. A very good thing. I love her more than anything."

I let hannah sleep in bed with me last night.

"Oh? When I was only a little menace to society we were always moving around, my dad and I and the rest of our family… I have a big one, lots of aunts and uncles and cousins." She laughed almost loosing track of where she was originally going, "-So I never really had a room of my own that I had to clean… I had to help clean and set up other things though. You know how many outfits we collectively had to wash?” She asked with a laugh, “But my Dad was born right here in the Hollow so I guess… I had a room in his old family house, but I haven’t been here too often enough to really know this lovely town- I’ve only just decided to keep the circus here permanently.” She was rambling on again, and when Shawn rambled people tended to get lost in whatever she was talking about.

Shawn gave a light laugh at Alex’s surprise, and as they exchanged cards exclaimed, “Lawyer? Well fa-ti-da! What an interesting profession- Do you go to court defending hardened criminals? Or are you more of the ‘I just do paperwork’ kind?”
