Characters: Vulcan, Carmine, Delta, Corryn Where: Dreamscape When: A WHILE ago(The little ones were a bit younger than they are now) - - - Flowers brushed Vulcan’s sides, swaying as if caught in a light breeze. He had grown himself a field of it. Magnolia. Atlas magnolia as far as he could see. It felt like a haven here. Like here he was finally granted the peace he had once begged and pleaded the stars for. He hummed, closing his eyes, not noticing the footsteps coming in his direction and the movement of the flowers. “M..Mister?” A small, meek voice spoke. He opened his eyes, blinked, looking over. A small red planet covered in what somewhat resembled poppies stood there, looking quite nervous. A child. Vulcan raised his eyebrows slightly, using his hands to help him sit up, “...Yes?” The small red planet looked down slightly, swaying his foot by the ankle, “Um… you have a… very pretty field here. Did you… make it?” Vulcan blinked a couple more times, before nodding, “Yes, I did. And thank you,” The small red planet nodded, a bit hurriedly, moving their hand to the back of their neck as they did so. Vulcan tilted his head, monitoring the small planet for a few moments, before murmuring, “What’s your name?” The small planet looked up, almost surprised by the question. They then looked away slightly while answering, “...Carmine.” Vulcan smiled a bit, “That’s a nice name,” Carmine smiled a bit as well, “Uh… thank you, mister,” Vulcan chuckled, “Vulcan. My name is Vulcan.” Carmine frowned a bit, nodding, “Sorry… thank you, Vul…can..” He hesitated for a moment, as if debating whether to speak more, before eventually shaking his head, “Um… Sagittarius told me to come talk to you… well… told me and my siblings…” Vulcan raised an eyebrow at ‘siblings’, and also the fact that Sagittarius had sent Carmine to him, “Oh… did they give you a reason why?” Carmine fidgeted with the collar of his t-shirt, “We… we were told that you were once a lot like us… and that maybe you would…” He hesitated again, “Stay with us…” Vulcan’s eyebrows furrowed, slightly concerned at what ‘once being a lot like them’ could mean, “I see… may I… meet your siblings?” Carmine nodded, “Yeah… uh– follow me,” He then turned around and started walking off. Vulcan got himself up onto his feet, going after him. ——— They reached a small clearing, where a small blue planet with a feather in her hair seemed to be messing with a small purple planet with web patterns on her, slightly taller than the blue planet. Like Carmine, they both seemed to be quite young. “Uh– sises! I found who Sagittarius uhm– told us about,” The two planets looked up, and the blue one immediately darted over to Vulcan, “Woah–! You look cool!” She gasped, very excited. Vulcan raised an eyebrow, “Um, thank you–” The small purple planet watched from a distance, studying Vulcan’s body language before finally going over, “Hello,” Vulcan looked over at her, “Hey there,” He paused, “What you guys’ names?” The small blue planet immediately chirped, “Delta!”, the purple planet seemed to hesitate before finally responding, “Corryn.” Vulcan smiled, “Nice to meet you both, my name is Vulcan–” Delta gasped, “Are you our new dad? Ooo– I’ve never /had/ a dad beforeee!” Vulcan jolted a bit, “What? No I’m not–” Delta immediately cut him off by hugging his leg and jumping, “Dad!” Vulcan paused and sighed, pinching his nose, suddenly knowing there was no way he’s getting out of this.
