When people meet Herb, the last thing they would guess is he's got a problem. He's cheerful, outgoing, down-to-earth and he's great with kids. What most people think is he has it all. A nice house, a loving husband, a green thumb, everything one could ever need.
It's a lie.
"Herb, your gonna make yourself sick again love. You've had too much," Sparkling says as they walked. "I know this week has been hard but you can't just run off to parties and drink that much. What about your sober streak?" He holds his lover upright as Herb stumbles about, mumbling something about the plants needing to be watered when they get home.
"Ya-*hic*-Ya know, mom ain't coming home," He slurred, tearful. "I g-goootta take care o' the plantsss!" Sparkling nods along, unlocking the door. "Yes, hun. The plants are okay Herb." Herb continues his tearful speech about his lovely plants as they head through the door.
Sparkling listens, just like always. It's all he can do really. Besides, having your mom be trapped in crystal can do some serious damage to a child, no matter the age...
