Forget thinking about the descriptor “soft eyed” for Hypnos. It’s so,,, yes. That’s him. Soft eyed. That gentle loving gaze only your most beloved can give you. Soft eyed Hypnos my beloved.
Where to go? All signs point to the same place.
Erika jumped as she sensed Maggie beside her, journal clutched in a death grip for a moment before she relaxed and lowered the open pages away from her chest. “I got so absorbed I didn't sense you. I just…the fluctuating variegation of these leaves…I was just planning on how to sketch it.” Ever since her own garden had been destroyed, Erika had been coping by spending a great deal of time in Maggie's gardens. A whole new notebook had been started just to document the plants here. Some entries had just been remade from her earth plant sketchbook, but some seemed to have adapted to Maggie's realm and become their own entirely new species! Documenting them had been her coping mechanism thus far, her own garden now mundane and empty. Repaired but mostly empty, save for most of the poisons. @singofus ➼ erika
maggie's eyes shine metallic green and black before she blinks and they return to their normal yellow hue , a soft smile on her face .
❛ there's no need to apologize , erika . i'm glad you are finding enjoyment in my gardens . ❜ she'd heard from atonia just how bad it had been , and is glad her own could keep erika occupied while they looked for ways to restore her own lands .
a thorny vine reaches up , the flowers rushing through the fertilization and maturation process , presenting perfectly ripe berries that fall , heavy and lush , into maggie's waiting palm .
❛ have you had these before ? i use them for the diner's cherry cloud pies . i'll let you in on a little secret though — they aren't actually cherries , ❜ she adds with a little playful finger over her lips .
❛ try one , if you want . ❜
the berries give a small good dose of auric sensation ; perhaps a specific memory , or just warm and peaceful sensations . maggie pops one into her mouth and feels her husband's arms around her , the gentle peace that comes from his presence .
the other , she offers to erika .
