It always seemed to amazing you by how easy controlling the local plant life came to him.

There hadn’t been a place in this forest you couldn’t traverse so long as you followed close beside him.

It was during those times you started observing the way his Hands, built to tear apart his enemies yet moved as gently as butterflies wings, made certain gestures to get the flowers and the vines that covered his domain to do what he wanted.

It was so fascinating to you. How many tasks he could accomplish with only a few flicks of a wrist or fingers.

Tasks that varied from the simple act of making a bridge of lily pads for himself and you to cross a pond, or the more grand acts he always showed off just for your eyes, like the time he’d made at least a dozen or so of your favorite flowers bloom around you just to watch the look of wonder and joy fill your eyes.

Either way, there was always a certain method to this ability of his. At least that’s what you’ve come to realize. A level of deeper meaning that was both beautiful yet entirely unknown to you, no matter how much you had observed and listened to him.

“My butterfly? Hello there, are you still listening, dear?”

He was so….mysterious.

An enigma. His mind a puzzle so unique that, even after wandering through this maze like place for days, he was the only being that you encountered that you just couldn’t get a read on.

Taking a deep breath, you slowly poked your head around the corner. Observing him carefully from the quartz pillar you hid around as you heard him tinkering with something in the expensive space. The fluttering of colorful butterflies and an odd assortment of moths you couldn’t quite recognize fluttering peacefully around all the plants that hung from the glass ceiling.

So serene…too serene in your mind.

Why did everything feel so thinly veiled?

Like something more disturbing lay beneath this paradise your mind could barley scratch the surface of

There was this peaceful yet focused expression on the soft shells face as his hands fidgeted with the golden sheets of metal flexing between his claws. His goggles flipped back up to reveal this soft sparkle in his eyes. The tattoos of flowers and moths delicately inked into his jade scales. The muscles in his arms and shoulders flexing with every twist of a wrench or every pull of the forceps around golden wire.

There was a beauty to his craft, you could give him that. The little movements combined with the sheer amount of detail he was putting into something as simple as a necklace was quite admirable, especially to a fellow craftsman like yourself.

Yet a part of you knew there was something more dangerous to him that met the eye…..after all who the hell just has a random pool of blood in their garden-

“well, I was wondering when on earth you were going to show yourself again” he called out, his voice as smooth and honeyed as ever. Swiveling around in the chair made from woven vines and branches to face your direction. Head propped up by one of his hands as he sent a few flowers your way with a flick of his claws. A almost tender smile on his face as he tried to beckon you to him, “welcome to my humble abode, my sweet lilac”

Donnie: Is this a good idea?

Donnie: Probably not.

Donnie: Do I care?

Donnie: No.

Donnie, making coffee: This is going to fix everything.

Donnie: Apparently, it was Rude™ of me to pitch in my two cents on a conversation I happened to overhear, despite agreeing with them.

Donnie: On an unrelated note, I am no longer allowed in the ceiling vents.

Donnie: I love sarcasm! It’s like punching people in the face, but with words!
