Oh I think Damien is taller than I thought

-Hyacinth had been quiet. A bit too quiet.

The boy would usually at least pace around the Lux, curiously checking on his family from the shadows or going to check the kitchen. Sometimes, he'd walk just for the sake of walking, haunting the halls for no reason.

Not for these past days. Not even to give Leaf his birthday gift. It wasn't like him. He loved to see his loved ones' reactions to his presents, but he had locked himself in his room and it had been days since Leaf last saw him.

Looking inside his son's room, the wind man only found the boy's pets, Fetch vehemently guarding a door Leaf had never seen before. The hellhound granted him entrance, almost ushering him in.

It was cold inside, dim, with barely enough lighting to see what was inside. The butchery-like freezer lined with bloodied meat hooks felt eerie, the smell of blood intense in the dark room. The towering figure at the end of it, as intimidating as it would've looked, was familiar however.

Hyacinth, standing before Michael's mangled corpse, head down, fists clenched shut and bloodied, breathed raggedly. He seemed tense, his body shaking from both cold and anger-

( little starter inspired by the little Disco Elysium quotes :3)

Leaf pet a hand over the hellhound's head as he passes, a silent thank you. The dim freezer made his hair sand on end the hanging meat almost enough to turn his stomach.

And then he sees his son.

His steps become more sure as he strides up to his son, vibrating the air around them to warm it up. He places his fingers lightly on Hyacinth's elbow.

I feel betrayed 😔

"Hi!"

- Hyacinth🪻

For what I caught, it's weather for your dad and plants for your mom?

- @damietheprideprince

Mom came from a long line of green witches, hence the plant name. But the powers were matriarchal, so neither of us got it.

"Uncle!!! I missed youuu!!"

Oh shit-

*Leaf leans into the hug, trying to hug him back as best as he could.*
