from marlon!! // " so, uh, hey, i found there. " marlon holds up a bag of seeds, a lopsided smile crossing his features. " for your herb garden, y'know? figured you might like 'em. "

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo had been sitting on the steps of the school building, hefty book in hand, when the hunting party finally returned. he glances up, curious, and happens to catch marlon's gaze from across the courtyard briefly. so, he smiles, and gives a little wave, something that's returned, be -fore the group shuffles off to take stock of everything they'd got. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ he goes back to reading, managing to read a few more pages, flipping through them casually before noticing--ah, marlon was standing there. arvo perks, a little surprised by the sudden visit, but it wasn't unwelcomed, of course. he absentmindedly snaps his book shut, and sets it to the side. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " yes...? " 'so, uh. hey, i found these,' the other explains, before holding out a few bags of seeds, for the greenhouse, his domain. the bespectacled boy can't help but light up, clapping his hands together gently in excitement, before taking the bags offered. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " for me? thank you, really!-- " a hum, thoughtful, glancing over the text labeling the items, " these are feverfew flowers. oh, or 'tanac -etum parthenium', if you're feeling fancy, i suppose! " he lightly laughs, absentmindedly pushing up his glasses with a finger. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " they're good for breaking fevers, of course, hence the name. but, they're also good for headaches, and can be used as a general antiseptic! interesting, isn't it? they're pretty, too... " a pause. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " you'll come see them, once they're grown, won't you? " and he smiles, and he looks up at the other expectingly. 💊‏‏‎ ‎

from marlon!! // resting his chin on his hand a moment, marlon looks up from the piece of paper he has been scribbling on. counting resources is exhausting, he thinks.

gaze falling to arvo, a soft smile curves his lips, a warm light touching pale blue eyes. watching arvo play with rosie... well, it brings a certain amount of happiness to him, settling itself in his chest. it feels almost... domestic, he thinks: a thing marlon believed he could never have.

" y'having fun? " he asks, a teasing lilt to his words. " don't spoil rosie too much, now. "

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo had snuck upstairs while the other ex-students gathered in the courtyard on this quiet day at ericson's, everyone kind of up to their own thing, something fun. well, except marlon, who was holed up in his office as usual, working on this and that: counting resources, planning out the hunting party's new routes... that just won't do. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ well, really, he couldn't stop him. after all, it needed to get done, but still, he could at least keep him company, right? so, that's what he's doing. plus, it's a little quiet -er up here, then it is in the yard, him being easily overwhelmed sometimes. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ the sun beams through the windows, peeking through the curtains, a subtle heat against skin, carding through hair--he can't help but smile. sitting on the mattress in the office, he squeaks a dog toy for rosie, gently tossing it across the room: then, giving lots of praise once she returns it. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ arvo perks when marlon speaks up, he simply laughs a little, before leaning over and gently squishing his own freckled cheek against a very-happy rosie's. glasses now slightly crooked, and he says... 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " come now! look how cute she is, is it really 'spoiling'? and if it is, can you blame me? " 💊‏‏‎ ‎
