Alec winced. "Yeah, that is really hard to forget."

Tristan smiled and inclined his head. "Thank you, Master Dark. I appreciate your concern." And he meant it. Alec glanced between Dark and Tristan, but he waited until he was outside and out of earshot from his uncle to ask, "What was that about?"

Tristan hummed and was about to say something further when Alec came trotting in. "Sorry! I misplaced my wallet," he said, rolling his eyes. "Found it! All is good." "Very good," Tristan said. "I hope you have a very nice and very normal evening, and I intend to do the same."

Tristan raised a brow and did not reply immediately. "Yes, growing while strangled is not something plants are particularly good at, though I am sure there is not really any such thing as a weed free garden."

"I did wonder about the pastels. I always thought new beginnings and rebirth would be far more... bold in colors," Tristan replied.

Tristan glanced at Dark, suspecting something was up, but also wondering if he was just paranoid. Surely Dark wouldn't be digging for information about that, would he? He had no real reason to, right? It would not affect his son. "This is also true, although I suppose since Easter is about...

"I suppose this is true," Tristan said thoughtfully. "Events like these sorts of holidays do make for convenient planning to see people you never see, though, I suppose. Perhaps it is wrong to use a theoretically holy day for such a thing, but maybe it is no worse than turning a funeral into a...

Tristan chuckled at Dark's response. As usual, he was correct. "Yes, it usually is a family holiday, although I am not certain if that is the intent of the holiday, or what followers have turned it into. It is definitely one of the holidays where those who do not go to church go. The twice a...

Tristan glanced at Dark as he rearranged some small plants to fill in the gaps where others had been sold. "Yes, it is. Today would be Good Friday. I considered closing even though I do not practice, but it seemed like a good time to sell a few more flowers. Capitalistic greed won out over a...

"Doing very well, thank you," Tristan said, amused and only slightly trying to hide it. Alec had told him about the beard, and he'd seen a picture of beardless Dark, but that still had not fully prepared him for partially bearded Dark. The funniest part was Dark's reaction more than anything...

"It was really good! A little slow, but with several large orders," Alec said happily. "We sold so many flowers!" Tristan came in from the back, smiling. "Ah, Master Dark! I thought I heard your voice." His smile wavered when he saw Dark's face. His pause lasted a little too long, but he...

Xander enjoyed his conversation with Daizi. His focus wandered a little now and then, but a little prompt was usually enough to bring him back. He asked a few questions, some of them sensical and some of them not, but mostly listened and tried to follow Daizi's lines of conversation, relaxed...

The twins, sitting side by side, said nothing, but the occasional happy sigh said more than words. They leaned into each other a little, enjoying the warmth and comfort that the soup brought. If asked, Xander would say it was because he was distracted, but in the moment, he thought for certain...

Alec and Xander both smirked at the sight of the "American" food, but chose not to make a deal of it. This was a special meal, after all. A truly special event. It took Xander a few awkward moments to figure out what to do with his foot, but once he had it in place, he was more than ready to...

Xander threw his hands up in defeat. Alec grinned. "Picnic time!" He trotted into the kitchen to help gather what was needed.
