Innocence - Blooming Petals

[bea-lele-carmen]

My sweet, let us see whether the rose...

My sweet, let us see whether the rose

which this morning had openend

its purple dress in the sun

has retained this evening

the folds of its purple dress,

and its complexion so akin to yours.

Alas! See in how little time,

my sweet, it let fall, alas,

its beauty on the ground!

Oh, nature, cruel mother,

for such a flower only lasts

from dawn until dusk!

So, if you trust my words, my sweet,

as your age is blooming

in the prime of its youth,

pick, pick your youthfullness.

Just like for this flower, old age

will tarnish your beauty.

Daniel: ... what do you have there?

Arthur, holding Orchid's hand and a drink: ..a smoothie

Larson, moments after tossing Orchid down into the mines with Arthur: the children yearn for the mines.

More blooming Petals art also featuring my John and Arthur! I couldn't quite get the dirty blonde shade I wanted for Arthur's hair but shhhh. I want to draw them more

(Just a CW for implied violence because.. malevolent and also slightly distressing art for the last image since it's a corrupted Orchid drawing so keep safe <3

(Based off a conversation I had about the Blooming Petals a little bit ago with a friend)

Noel: So I believe your story about how you got the kid. Really, I do. But uh- why isn't she wearing any shoes?

Arthur:

(Insert the sound of a man dying a little more inside here)

Arthur: she's what

Arthur: how long have you not had shoes?-

Orchid: I've never had shoes mister Arthur?

Arthur: *remembering all the broken glass they've dealt with and where they currently are*

(Insert even louder sounds of a man dying inside here)

Orchid, after feeling all the scars on Arthur's hands: we match now :]
