Flowers are a Girl's Best Friend

[sweetcandygirl]

Both Pamela and Harley were wearing bright red today, as they strolled along the Nexus streets. Pamela was wearing what appeared to be a dress made out of red roses (when said roses were actually still growing and weaving around her green-skinned body.) Pamela sprinkled some seeds into the air, with Harley catching him with a quick little laugh.

Harley was wearing a bright red dress, and was being followed by a few curious birds, that wanted to capture the seeds before winter came.

The woman stopped by one of the Nexus Cafes, where Pamela stopped to check on a few flowers in a nearby planter. Harley watched her with a wistful smile, knowing it would not be long before Pamela left the Nexus to return to the Amazon, where she stayed during the winter months.

Harley held out a hand, allowing a few birds to swoop down and collect a few more seeds from her palm. And stared up at the sky.

"Ya'know…. I have always admired Pam's ability to stop and smell the roses," Harley starts talking to someone who was nearby. "I always went into overdrive, speeding through life, wind in my hair, wearing bright colors and daring outfits, and took so many crazy chances of putting my own life on the line."

"I do not regret any of it. And now, I have so many dear friends, that their concern for me seems unreal. Ya'know?"

"Coming to the Nexus was the craziest thing that ever happened to me. It was the worst thing at times. The best thing at others."

"I need to stop and smell the flowers more often."

"Crazy how a few someone-wonderfuls can change you."

"Tell me about yours. Who is your someone-wonderful? Is it a friend? Family? Lover?" She grins. "Or is it me?" And winks.

"Red only wears things that she grows herself." Harley greets Balthazar with a warm hug. And one of the birds on her shoulder greets him with a peck on the cheek.

"I never thought I would have a pseudo family. But now that I do... I can not imagine my life without Loki or his children either."

"Red? Ah, Pamela? I can see that she does do an excellent job of keeping those blooms nice and fresh."

The angel hugged Harley back and giggled slightly when the bird pecked him on the cheek. What a charming animal indeed! He smoothed down his back jacket slightly and smiled broadly.

"I know what you mean, darling. Jack and his kids have adopted me almost into their way of life and I do love them all. It makes me feel like an actual father even though I lack any fatherly experience."

Balthazar was keen to learn though.

"Well because of my screwed-up biology, I never thought it would ever be possible for me to have any kind of family. And now I do. An actual one with a lover, children, and pseudo brother. So I feel really blessed."

"Jake's kids are pretty adorable. I can picture you holding them and caring for them."

[angelic_asshole]

"Well, there you go! I'm glad you've beaten all the odds and given life a big middle finger, Harley. I'd expect no less from a girl like you."

Balthazar clearly happy for his friend. The angel's eyes warming at the prospect of Jack and his kids warming to him since they had come to know him for nearly over a year now. Possibly more. Time was something Balthazar still needed to comprehend within the mortal world.

"They are so adorable, yes. I love being a father to them all and little Charlie loves wing snuggles."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Don't we all love wing snuggles?" Harley teases him lightly.

"We should arrange a playdate sometime. Fun and games for the kids. Actual adult chit-chat for the parents."
