||: Demigods popping up here and there ... As Lizzo once said, it’s about damn time!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

ㅤChiron’s definitely gonna wash out your mouth with soap if he heard that. 😁

ㅤ☺️❓️

ㅤFace twisting into a grimace, Edelweiss sinks into the nearest chair. Her body hurts all over.

ㅤWHY NYO. Heart been broke so many times... 💔

ㅤJust admit it, my cute little cousin. 🤏🏻

ㅤAwe, but I miss you too, Maxie! 🥰

ㅤOh? Really? 👀

ㅤCracks neck.

What are you busy with today? — “Mm, nothing much. Just work and ... Stuff.” By stuff, she means fighting off monsters. You know, the usual. curiouscat.me/blossoming-pet…

ㅤOh, suddenly she feels like eating waffles. Maybe she should make some.

Which do you like better, pancakes or waffles? — “Oh, this is a hard one. Waffles!” curiouscat.me/blossoming-pet…

ㅤCarefully wraps a bandaid around her forefinger and puts another one on the crook of her thumb. She’s been spacing out a lot more often lately, causing a lot more cuts and wounds as well.

ㅤA nod is given as a response. The name ‘Edelweiss’ is indeed derived from the flower, courtesy of her father’s tremendous love towards flowers. ㅤ“Well, the flower does have great meanings, but it’s ...” she lets out a sheepish laugh, “... kind of embarrassing to say.”

ㅤEdelweiss lifts her shoulders in a slight shrug, her lips curling upwards into a small smile. ㅤ“I think Hayden has a nice ring to it. Does it have any particular meaning?”

ㅤA groan slips past her lips. Edelweiss woke up to her body hurting all over, the throbbing pain most prominent in her broken ribs that have yet to heal, thanks to the encounter with a cyclops that she had last night. ㅤGods, she really has to take the day off.

ㅤ“Morn’ ...” she mumbles, eyes still half closed; not entirely awake yet.

ㅤHer stomach rumbles loudly—a mortifying sound that makes the tips of her ears turn bright red. Now, when was the last time she ate a proper meal?

ㅤ“Just Edie is fine.” Edelweiss gives him a slight shake of her head, deeming such formalities unnecessary. ㅤ“So ... Hayden? You have a nice name.”
