slow day in the Underworld

(hello there, small influx of new followers!)

"They strangle the other flowers. It's best just to have roses, my dear."

“It’s fine, dear! Really! Lilies are quite hard to maintain, anyways. You leave them alone for a moment, and suddenly they’re everywhere.”

"It's fine, dear! Really! Lilies are quite hard to maintain, anyways. You leave them alone for a moment, and suddenly they're everywhere."

“I’ll try my hardest. What kind of flowers do you want?” He started thinking of ways to make the soil here fertile and not kill the plants this time.

"It's hard to explain them. I'd rather much just have roses only."

“I’ll try my hardest. What kind of flowers do you want?” He started thinking of ways to make the soil here fertile and not kill the plants this time.

"Lillies. Lillies and roses, please."

“I’ll try my hardest. What kind of flowers do you want?” He started thinking of ways to make the soil here fertile and not kill the plants this time.

"Oh! Thank you dear!" She smiled and hugged him tightly, giggling. "It will be beautiful, I can already tell!"

He nodded, a smile on his face since his idea seemed to make her happy. “Then it’s settled. I’ll make you a garden.” He nodded and mentally patted himself on the back.

"You'd get one for me?" She asked, looking up at him with bright eyes. "I'd love one.."

She nodded a bit, burying her head into his chest. “Very well…”

She nodded a bit, burying her head into his chest. "Very well..."

“Whenever you wish, dear.” She smiled up at him, squeezing his hand. “I’m not going to leave you so soon…”

"Whenever you wish, dear." She smiled up at him, squeezing his hand. "I'm not going to leave you so soon..."

“Perhaps if we asked… She wants me to be happy and I’m happy when I’m with you..”

"Perhaps if we asked... She wants me to be happy and I'm happy when I'm with you.."

“I wish I could make it look better. It’s dark and dreary, that’s not such a place you should live in.” He sighed, messing with his tie with one hand while holding her hand with the other. He smiled at her and wished she could stay with him forever...

"I love it. I wish I could stay longer though... I don't wish to leave you alone..." She mumbled, snuggling into his side lovingly.

Persephone kept close to him, studying her new home intently. “It’s beautiful, dear. A perfect place for us to live…”

Persephone kept close to him, studying her new home intently. "It's beautiful, dear. A perfect place for us to live..."

“Why thank you.” He smiled and held out his hand. “I never did show you around the palace itself. Would you like a tour?”

"Of course, my dear." She smiled dazzlingly, taking his hand and intertwining their fingers. Her skin, compared to his, was nearly as warm as an open fire. Not like that was a big surprise. After all, she was the goddess of springtime.

“Why thank you.” He smiled and held out his hand. “I never did show you around the palace itself. Would you like a tour?”

She giggled as he pulled her close, nuzzling him happily. "And I do like that suit on you. You look quite dashing."

Persephone nodded, going to change into a black and red gown. It was a surprise about how many dresses were prepared for her. One girl could never wear this many.

Doing an experiment. Reblog if you wear glasses or contacts, please.
