The Grimm Huntress

Gardening and Gumbo

"Hmm, these are pretty old." Apollo said, looking over Maria's eyes. "You should've gotten a tune up like 5 years ago."

"Well when you drop off the face of Remnant that doesn't give you very many options."

"I guess." He looked at Maria who was sitting on the small couch in his room. "Do you mind being blind for a while. It might take a day or so to completely fix them."

The glasses sat on his metal work table in pieces as he had slightly dissected them to find the problem.

She didn't need to know that though.

"I was blind for over a week when me and Charis made our way back here when I first became blind I can go more than just a day or so without my eyes."

"You knew γιαγιά?"

"Ah yes. Charis was my best friend and partner."

"Is that why Dad called you 'Auntie'?"

"Yep! Charis appointed me as his godmother."

"Does that mean you're our grand-godmother?"

"Of course!"

His door slammed open to reveal a very clearly annoyed Esteban. "Apolo lo que el-" he cut himself off when he noticed Maria. "Oh hola Srta. Calavera."

"Hola Esteban."

"How has your day been so far?"

"Very good. It's nice to be back."

"That's good. Now Apollo qué demonios le has hecho a mi sudadera?"

"Está en tu tocador."

"No, ya lo he comprobado."

"Esteban." Apollo turned to face his brother. "I put it back when Thea dragged me down from the ceiling. Revisa tu maldito tocador de nuevo."

"No voy a volver a comprobarlo cuando sé que no está ahí."

"Why are you two yelling?" Eclipse asked, leaning on the doorframe.

"Esteban is accusing me–"

"It's not accusing when you did it!"

"That's still accusing Essie."

"Exactly! And he keeps saying I kept his hoodie."

"Well did you?"

"No!"

"Esteban, did you check your pile of blankets?"

"Ooh that might be right."

"¡Te lo dije!"

"¡Cállate!"

"Quiet down!" Maria said, hitting both boys' legs with her cane.

"Ow!"

"Fighting is pointless. Esteban go check your room and Apollo get back to work."

"Sí, señora."

"Thank you Auntie. Now if you excuse me I have to revive over half the plants in the house."

"Why does she...?"

"Because none of us can keep plants alive."

"Right."

Ruby followed after Eclipse as she went through the house fixing the flowers. "So your real Semblance is plants?"

"Life manipulation." Eclipse corrected her, holding her hands over a bouquet of dead chrysanthemums. "I use it for plants but I can also heal people. I've only ever healed small wounds though."
