Hideaway Strath too soon

Hemlock joined him in the unwelcome task, digging at his side until she had to move away, cramping and gasping as she attempted to control herself. She watched for a moment as Arturo continued their work, her viridian gaze taking stock of his body and knowing that tonight, for all their sakes, she would need to make sure that they slept a dreamless sleep. She briefly had him pause, face tucked against his scruff. "I love you." She said it softly, urgently, and couldn't remember if she had even gotten to say it to Lotte, to them both, before now.

Sne waited a few brief moments before she turned away, making several trips because with several plants brought up by their roots. She would make sure that Lotte was safe, with not only the hemlock to guard her but flowers to keep her bright and happy, to encourage birds to come so she has songs to listen to.
