Pride Month Drabble Challenge: Day 23, Smile

Reblog of the challenge rules with links to my posts is here.

“Look!  They’ve got the tillandsias growing upside down to look like jellyfish!”

“Cute.”

“I’ve seen photos online of setups like this but it’s the first time I’ve seen one in person.”

“So, buying one?”

“I’d prefer to make my own holder and pick my own plant for it, but… Oh!  They have spanish moss!”

“...”

“They never have spanish moss in stock here.  I don’t know why, it’s not like it’s even that exotic.”

“...”

“New plan, I’m making jellyfish out of this.  Do you think we have room for another hanging in front of the living room window?  I’d put it out on the balcony but I don’t think it’s native to the area.”

“...”

“I guess we could set up another grow lamp, but I’d rather not bump up the electric bill any more than it already is.  Maybe something with mirrors…”

“...”

“What?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“You look like you’re about to start laughing.  What’s the joke?”

“No joke.  I just love seeing you like this.  Right up there with listening to you talk about space.”

#pride month drabble challenge #Being from Florida and Mississippi respectively Spanish moss is something that Lacuna and Eris both have nostalgia for. #Eris moreso though being from a more rural area. #That goes for both this and their canon counterparts. #I like to think that wherever this version of them are living together is covered in air plants all over the place. #In contrast to canon Eris's apartment being fairly spartan save for a few mementos and one extremely well cared-for cactus #and canon Lacuna's apartment being an utter mess that sunlight never enters and nothing grows except perhaps shower mold. #Now I'm trying to think what would get canon Eris excited enough to ramble like this. #Not much I think. Maybe rom-coms and only in very select company after a couple of drinks. #Her other big thrill that she would potentially nerd about is monster hunting related topics but she's trained herself not to #what with the whole “feeling self-conscious about enjoying doing violence” thing.
