Every flower wilts

[petal_storm]

Who: Orchid, dahlia, Orchid's mom, Jaeger, etc?
When: A few weeks after Orchid joins Jaeger in Japan.
What: Dahlia takes the children aside for a chat.

Dahlia casually snagged Jaeger's arm and chuckled, sorry you're not going to take photo's today, let Ixi break in the new recruit hmmm? Get Orchid and meet me in the cafe please." It was...rather important yes.

She had...documents. In fact she had a slim briefcase of things she needed to show the children, and a similar one with explanations had been delivered to Magnus...

But he was here to fill the children in yes.

It was going to be...interesting no doubt.

He nodded. "Oh."

She passed the envelope made of obviously handmade paper as it contained petals in the weave just as much as fiber yes.

Orchid...touched it gently and...opened it yes. The handwriting was odd, clear, and carefully formed but...almost cursive that grew into odd forays into flowers and little trees.

Okay then.

"She...says she doesn't regret, ever, meeting my father."

"Why didn't she stay then?"

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"...not her world and illness. She was just suppose to go out to learn about being a person..."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"..." He frowned. "Dammit."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

She glanced up at him, worried, "damnit?"

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"It just seems cruel..."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"I...don't know," she admitted. "I ccan't decide if it is or not."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"Why not?"

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"...my father loves me with all his heart. He has done everything in his power to give me a good life. I would not have received that there. And the main...power? Would have...hated and feared me?"

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"I meant your mother dying..."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"...she isn't made to die, I think. I think the fact they do actually makes their maker very, very sad." Just saying? "And she says she has enjoyed her life..."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"I... guess." he frowned.

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"I don't know it just doesn't read like someone who is...abused?" she admitted, passing it. "I think she just wanted to...explain. And plants drop seeds, I was worried I would not....connect too."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"That's … true."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"I have had a lot of odd thoughts as I grew, what is plant and what is human instinct..."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"She just...wants to see what I've become. I...could we go?" she asked him softly.

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"Yes, yes." He nodded.

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"Okay, thank you," she smiled at him.

"I was hoping you'd say that," Dahlia chuckled softly. "I'm ready to take you both whenever you wish."

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"When would you like Orchid?"

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"What will we need to...bring?" Orchid blinked. "I've never been there, what do we need to prepare?"

Re: Family Ties

[code_jaeger]

"The other side? You've been."

Re: Family Ties

[petal_storm]

"Ah, I visited one place and never left it and made myself sick going there," she sighed. "What is it like outside? Will I need suits? Epi pen?"

"I don't know.... I kinda wandered around..."
