Swimming lessons had become relatively frequent. Lucifer, Maze and Tenebrae had all wondered up to Earth every month or so and his little shadow had become quite the avid swimmer. She loved the waves and relished in getting tumbled by them and thrown to shore. Something Lucifer, as a helicopter parent was first concerned about, but then soon learnt to just let happen.
At some point she even tucked her arms and legs under herself and her wings spread over the water. She was trying to float like a bird. Lucifer couldn't help but applaud and encourage her to carry on. Maze just rolled her eyes, she'd figure out what kind of animal she was sooner or later. Could chickens float... She wondered. Clearly that was more important in the moment.
Tenebrae ran out of the waves, making a beeline for the demon and devil lying back on their elbows in the sand. She ran up, throwing her whole body on top of her father.
"Oh- ugh!" Lucifer grunted, his mouth becoming full of now-curly, wet blonde hair. It was cute how her hair got all curly when it was wet- but he still didn't like it in his mouth. Moving it out of his lips, he caressed the tots face, moving her head till her eyes met his. "Are you having a fun day, little shadow?" He questioned, watching as she stuck her thumb in her mouth with a grin, nodding happily.
"Yes, dada," she replied, her little pink cheeks raised higher from her gigantic smile. "Flowers?" She asked up to him, relishing in the feeling of her fathers hand brushing back her blonde tufts of hair. It was calming.
"We can go see the flowers if you want to," he replied, letting the decision be completely her own. As overprotective as he was, he still liked Tenebrae to have as much power over her decisions, within reason.
"Yeee!" She replied, scrambling off of the devil and bolting away. Lucifer rolled his eyes, hopping up and walking after the little princess. He followed her off the beach and into the luscious forest of Earth. It was not Eden. The garden had long since disappeared since the last time he was here, something to do with a snake and an apple... surely he had nothing to do with that...
Earth was very different to Hell, especially the flowers. There was a lot more of an abundance of colour- especially green. It was almost overpowering... But beautiful nonetheless. Tenebrae had a particular interest in the white flowers with the yellow centre. The Princess of Hell had plopped herself down, analysing the flowers in front of her before deciding which was best and plucking it from the Earth.
"Little shadow!" Lucifer called, plopping down beside the blonde tot. "What are you doing, little love?" He asked, watching as she analysed the flower in her hand, trying to see any faults in it.
"I got fwowers dada," She exclaimed, shoving them in his face to show him.
"Well, I can see that," He nodded, pushing them back from his face. "Why are you picking them?" He quizzed.
"Pwetty flowers," She stated, picking two, three more and holding them in either hand.
"The most beautiful flowers will always be picked, Tenebrae," he advised, knowing the tot would have no idea what it meant. His mind wandered, as it did almost everyday, to the woman who gave him his precious turtle. She was a beautiful flower, she was plucked from the ground, and now she was gone. It was cruel. Something so beautiful was taken so swiftly from where she was safe, loved, needed.
