a flinch from touch on shoulders , head shooting towards to stare wide eyed.
chin meets fluffy shoulder, an embrace. with trembling body, a choked up breath. panicked sobs begin.
terrified for himself. terrified for the child.
for once - it sighs . gradients fade and tail comes to a limp stop .
hands move to shoulders and the angel lowers to stand instead of float .
a look of understanding , the angel feels and knows all as it should .
hug . tight . close .
ā Nutmeg š§
eyes wide, silent and staring straight at nothing. a completely different reaction than the seraph's.
more of dread and despair. unapproving, terrified.
fluttering lashes in bashful excitement , leaning over from floating stance in jest to close some distance .
soft fingertips touch hansā top of head .
nod . approving . supportive !
ā Nutmeg š§
vines have emerged from skin, wrapping 'round limbs and neck. thorns vacant on naturely ropes.
a startled catch of party paper. wide eyes skimming the page, knuckles fading white as snow.
ā no... no this can't be real... ā
blink ā it could not be wrong , could it ? nutmeg is very thorough when it comes to information to share of joy and cheer . .
one awkward expression shows before the seraph unravels a roll of party paper - tossing the end to hans !
right there. clear as water !

a raised brow, utterly perplexed by what is trying to be explained.
staring, observing, thinking.... freezing in complete and utter despair from implications.
ā no... no, I can't be ā i'm not, no. i am extremely careful, i shouldn't be. ā
a frustrated pout expression overwhelms usual cheer - how nutmeg hates no one but God can understand sometimes !!
clear throat .
place hand on stomach momentarily before . . making a rounding motion in front .
point , š„ ?
ā Nutmeg š§
another blink. he's listening... or trying to at least... he doesn't speak angel.
but he doesn't quite understand. confused and tired, head tilting to side.
ā i ā what ? ā

it materializing in front of @diseasedflowers.bsky.social ; confetti and tiny balloons float off . squinting .
