An Ember in the Ashes

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

Send 👤 and I will write more about an NPC in my muse’s life

“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.”

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

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

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

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.

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.

Get it off your chest. Send my muse an anonymous confession that's been bothering yours for a long time. I can't say anything...only publish.

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.”

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.”

“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.”

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

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.

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