Rose Blumen ~ Exogignesthai

595. A strange world, 3

(Rose)Blume came back home muddier than even Nokarlık ever did.

She stretched happily with us and we all went to take a bath in the pool we found the other day.

Nokarlık gobbled a few more of these sea anemones as if they were puds; whilst Blume and I chatted.

R – Where have you been?

B – Not far actually, but testing my body thoroughly.

R – Thoroughly?

I saw a glint in her eyes and my heart hoped in my chest slightly.

She laughed so hard while I dove under water to try washing that shame.

Damn you...

If I know where to tickle my daughter to have her laugh, Blume still knows best how to get me.

Mean little flower...

Well, she hugged me kindly too, with grateful emotion.

B – Thank you...

There was almost too much weight in these words.

But we could forget that weight easily, and leisurely enjoyed our day.

Until Nokarlık vomited half-digested things because some were more toxic than others and caused her to expel them.

I hadn’t seen her cry that much in a long while now. Good thing she’s still young enough for hugs and kisses to cure everything bad.

Now that Blume is happy and steady on her two feet, we’re beginning to pack. My daughter obviously has mixed feelings about us moving.

Even Nue’s human puppet mimicries sadness as she understands and represents itself the idea.

Nok doesn’t quite believe me this time when I tell her Nue was just the first one, and there’s an even wider world to discover out there.

My sweet child has already more than enough world in this city alone to be happy.

I insist unfortunately.

She has to learn more. As I do. I believe she needs to, in order to live in this world.

She will learn to travel and to adapt with intelligence in more environments.

And I’m sure she’ll encounter more unexpected happiness, just as I have.

I gave her a day to say her goodbyes to Nue and the city before we would fly off.

The day was not entirely for her though.

Blume scrambled my brain with lust. So as soon as I had sent Nok away, I was jumping the laughing Blume.

She laughed so much as I pounced on her, I had to shut her up. Then we played to my lower heart’s content.

It had been a while since I last enjoyed sex. I didn’t miss it until that golden skin appeared again.

B – Feeling better?

R – Hm. Not as good as flying though.

We laughed together.

Later that day, my daughter returned, sour, holding tears back. We hugged that sadness back to normal.

B – You’re such a cheesy mom Rose.

R – Ey!

Darn it. She has a new string to pull on me now.

It’s never been my dream to be a mother, but I love my daughter that’s for sure. I will do my best for her.

R – Even if that means I should be scolding that wild flower more than her!

B – Hiii!

Nokarlık is a little flabbergasted at first when she sees me scolding Blume. But she rapidly finds the show ever so entertaining.

The helicopter struggled to start but it still worked. The engine is old and the fuel level is low, so we won’t go far but it still will be a nice trip.

We lift off. Nokaranlık waves at Nue, left alone behind. My daughter did offer to her friend to join us, but Nue herself refused. She needs the pools and her tool of power from the home she currently lives in.

Like most dünyanin çiçekleri, it needs to stay around the domain where she was born adapted to, and its specific environment.

I’m not concerned for that little slug’s survival anyway. It’s smart and resourceful.

And so we flew away.

We went as far north as the helicopter could carry us. We reached a new shoreline, and didn’t attempt to cross the waters to reach the distant island.

A few minutes above the beach and the engine began giving up.

Blume managed to have us land in a wide clearing between jungle and beach.

I think it once was a park or a stadium. Maybe not a coliseum in modern days.

Now floral walls cover the ruins so well you can hardly see them.

Nok and I unpacked while Blume finished deactivating the helicopter that was beginning to boil on places.

Small animals spied on us. My daughter’s eyes began to gleam. Her stomach too possibly.

She looked confused still, because it’s a big change of environment for her suddenly.

R – Go. Slowly and cautiously, but go.

Of course she ran. Almost on all four like an animal. I soon lost sight of her in the tall grass.

B – Well, she’s looking more and more like you every day.

I could foresee that one coming for a long time.

R – Of course she is.

I sheathed a sword on my hilt and belt. Blume follows in my shadow.

The helicopter is abandoned and a temporary camp is set between some trees and ruins making a shelter.

So we head toward the wall of odd mix of building and jungle to explore it as well.

Although almost everything is quiet now, we can hear the local songs of the wind, and Nokarlık’s laughter a little further.
