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.

If the rogue knew her friend's thoughts, she'd blush like mad. What is there to her relationship with Thor but friendship? Amelia would assure everyone it was nothing.

"I'm glad, too. He's proven himself time and again to you, and I've never seen you so content as you've been with him." It's odd praise for someone of Earth, perhaps, but Amelia means every word. Happiness may be something most strive for, but contentment is far better in her mind.

"I take this means things have been very good for you as of late? Summer passed so quickly, and I feel like I've barely seen you all year." Part of that is her own fault, but there's nothing to be done about it now. All Amelia can do is check in with Harley while she has the chance.

"I had a bit of a dangerous encounter with a Big Bad Wolf... during the whole chaotic magic thing that hit the Nexus a month or so back. But I am good now." Harley informs Amelia.

"Now it is just about getting Pamela settled back in her jungle."

Amelia remembers the fringes of that, but she hadn't realized how intense it had gotten. A worried look passes over her face briefly, but she doesn't dwell on it. Harley appears to be all right and is in good spirits. Worrying on what might have been or the worst that could have happened only takes her away from the conversation they're having now.

"The weather is getting cool," she notes with a wry smile. "I'll miss knowing she's here, but the Amazon is always nice to visit in the depths of Winter and I'm always glad when she's safe. How goes the resettlement efforts? Do you need any help?"

"I think everything is going good, so far. Can't think of anything that might need extra hands at this time..." Harley pauses. "But I will let you know. If something comes up."
