Garden Conversation

"Emma dear, you've got to be careful with those flowers. Even just watering them. They bruise very easily." Maroon walked over to Emma, handing her a watering can instead of the hose, "Here. And I have to thank you once again for taking the time out of your weekend to come visit me, and help me with the garden." A soft smile spread on their face, visible just below the fringe. "You've come at a good time, too. I've just seen that the honey crunch tree is in bloom, I thought you'd like that." They stand by, looking over their garden, before placing a gentle hand on Emma's shoulder, "How are you doing with your painkillers? Do I need to edit the ingredients or dosage?" @1000liveslived

“I love the butterflies.” Maroon smiles softly, looking at a few and moving carefully to let the insect gently crawl along their hand, “Do you sell them at all? Or is this purely just a hobby?” @zairemalak

Emma doesn't say anything as she looked to her Maman, pale blue eyes wide with a child-like innocence before the girl trots forward and clamors up onto the couch. Nestling up into Maroon's lap without comment, she curls up and cuddles with them.

Maroon was having a bit of a hard day, to say the least. But they were still doing their best to take care of Emma while Rhamiel was away taking care of business back Home. They had meant to get back up, of course, not leaving Emma alone, but she had come to them.

“Hello dear, is everything alright?” They smiled softly, before being a bit surprised when she climbs up on the couch, and cuddles them.

It takes a moment, but they wrap their arms around her in turn, kissing the top of her head and relaxing as they cuddle together.

Ina with tiny birby wings and totally flapping awkwardly around poor maroon

“It’s okay dear! I didn’t learn to use my wings immediately either you know. It just takes a lot of practice.” They reach out, “Here, take my hands and for now we’re gonna practice flapping in time, okay?”

Don't Give Up

Maroon was panting, teeth still blade sharp and bloody, as were their hands, and parts of their body. Glowing eyes blinked across their form and the sounds of constant, manic chanting were fading as each one slowly closed for good. Their wings were going from their metallic war form back to their fluffier, calm form as they fell to their knees. The blinding glow around them dimming slowly, as they finally came to their senses. What had they done?? Somebody had tried to hurt...hurt someone or something. They couldn't remember. It was triggered so suddenly...they couldn't even remember what had done it. All they knew is that they had simply been in their state of holy rage again...the state they couldn't control and killed thousands in.... They slumped over on their knees as they looked at the remains and viscera before them...how could this have happened? They had done their best to lock away the monster they were.... If they weren't going to cry before, it was then they felt someone by them. Emmanuel. Emmanuel had seen them...seen that form. Seen them kill someone.... They curled up, hiding themselves in their wings, "I'm so sorry Emmanuel, I'm sorry...I never wanted you to see that I...I'm still a monster." @nobiscum

@nobiscum continued from ask Maroon does catch that twinge of worry in the other's voice and gives a small, hopefully reassuring smile as they take Em's hands in their own, intertwining their fingers. They want him to soak up the moment as much as he can, to feel that peace and warmth that they do their best to offer to him. That gentleness that he needs more than anything. "You know you're always welcome here." Maroon speaks softly in turn, "And you looked like you needed a bit of time like this. Is everything alright?"

At the End of the World

@morningxnoonxnight "Ina? Ina where are you?!" Maroon called out as they ran through the streets. Alarms were going off in the air, and they knew she had to be around here somewhere. She was always here when she wasn't at the garden. They had to find her now, before those alarms were silenced because of the oncoming explosion, "Ina!!"

He was supposed to stay in the trees, and watch over the field to make sure that the armies weren’t moving away from the designated area. For the most part, the armies were staying in the designated area, and that meant that the man could relax a bit as he stood in the trees. Yet he blinked in confusion when he saw something strange out of the corner of his eye. He turned towards the sound of the wind picking up, and he looked down from the tree to see a vortex of wind forming. Only, as he looked down at the wind it was pushing outward, and once the wind picked up enough speed that was blowing the grass and the leaves away. The vortex had flashed a bright light and then disappeared leaving behind a person.

The man blinked and stared down towards the person left behind in awe, but just then he felt a boom in the area. The sound spread across the forest, but movement of the wind was spreading the tree’s leaves apart creating a line from where someone was traveling. They were fairly far away, but soon the line would reach him.

So it was a portal. The red head thought as he jumped down from the ninety meter tree by using the wind to catch him as he fell. Then he planted himself by the person, and turned towards them.

“You have to leave, right now.” His voice was frantic as he grabbed the person’s wrist to start pulling them into the forest. “Sorry. Sorry.” He spoke with sincerity since he didn’t mean to be rude by suddenly grabbing the person, but that sound was of someone coming after them—and he would be there soon.
