Ebony had loved her last trip to the Sevens building. She was becoming less and less afraid of it with each visit and with each nice new person she met. True, she'd been there twice and met three people, but it was still wonderful in her eyes that there were any. And she particularly liked the three people she'd met.
It had been at least a week since Dartie had last taken the child. The woman had awkward concepts of time and Ebony wasn't much better with it, so how long it was isn't exactly sure. However, Ebby was quite eager to return to meet some more of the nicer sins and possibly another virtue. Or at the very least, see the people she'd met already. The girl was sure that Hyacinth might like more visitors, and Enki would delight in someone to talk at. And Almas seemed so lonely!
So it was that she was practically skipping on her way to the building. Well, practically in that the child had a tightly wrapped package in a back on her one arm and was holding a potted plant in each arm. She was bringing a set of bluebells for Almas and a hyacinth for Hyacinth, as well as brush for Enki. The last object was because his fur seemed in dire need of some more attention, and she was sure he'd be delighted to have someone make him feel even prettier.
And soon enough, they were walking through the door into the room Almas was seated in. The two had been directed there by techs and Dartie had to hold the door open for the girl, but still. It was amazing how they were even allowed in this area at all, let alone just to visit.
"Hey Almas!" the lust spawn called happily to her friend.

Almas turned to look over his shoulder to where the little girl was, eyes widening slightly, "Ah! Ebony!" He said and rose to his feet to walked over to her. He checked the clock on the wall, for a moment trying to recall what day it was before he for gave up. The days were blending together for him, he hadn't left the room aside from the Parent Meeting he'd done between Adriel and the Angel of Liberality.
"How have you been?" He asked before looking over to Dartsmoore, "Welcome back."

"I've been okie. Brought this for you." the child said, carefully holding out the bluebell plant to her Fallen friend. There was a warm, gentle smile on her face, and a happiness at the thought that she was giving something special to someone she cared about. "Hope you like it. How've you been?"
Dartie mostly just nodded to Almas and leaned against the door. She had a feeling this would probably end like the last one - them going on a walk and her sitting around for a while. Which was absolutely fine with her.

Almas looked at the bluebell and then reached his hands out to take the plante, looking it over closely before giving a bright smile, "Wow... this is so pretty." He murmured, lifting it up so that he could inhale the scent that they gave off. What a lovely smell, "Thank you, so much Ebony this is very kind of you."
He moved to set it down carefully on a small table in front of the vessel before giving a smile, "It brightens up the room a lot." The place was so cold and empty but the flower helped it, gave it a feeling of life and a nice scent.

The child smiled brightly. "I brought a flower for Hyacinth too - he sounded like he didn't know much about the plant he was named for, so I brought him one. " she said, pointing to the pretty red flower in her other hand. "I brought Enki a present too but it's just a brush. I thought he might like that,"
"If you like, I'll be on watch duty if you two want to take another walk. I don't mind - you can take a longer one today if you like." Dartsmoore offered with a shrug. May as well. Ebby had mentioned she thought it was funny how concerned Almas seemed with not making Dartie wait.

Almas couldn't help but chuckle, "I am sure that Enki will love the brush." The Fallen said, knowing that he would see it as an item that would help to enhance his beauty... he was sure he was going to be hearing a lot about that brush.
"If your sure." He said, giving another glance to the vessel, "Alright, we can take another walk and drop off the presents." The vessel and the one within it were both safe with this woman he felt, she hadn't hurt it the last time after all.

Dartie took up her previous position, calmly stationed in front of the vessel in the spot Almas usually sat in. She had no trouble waiting and was more than eager to do so. While she did love her daughter, dealing with children was a lot more tiring on her mind than sitting for long periods of time with something completely inert and making sure no one touched it. That was a cake walk for Dartie and she enjoyed that.
Ebby smiled broadly. "Can we take Hyacinth his prezzie first? I don't wanna put it down and forget about it when I give Enki his brush. And then it might get messed up." she asked, taking Almas's hand with her free one. After all, the child was quite concerned with getting her angel friend his present in the best shape possible.

Almas nodded as he led the way out of the vessel's room, "Sure, I bet he will love it." He knew that the angel couldn't wait to see her again, to have another visit with his friend. Almas worried that she might get bored with the visits to the labs when she got older but for now it was a good thing.
"He has talked of you often." He told her as he led the way to the place the angels were staying.

"Oh?" Ebby asked, cocking her head to the side. She didn't completely know how to respond to such a thing. She half wondered what he said - did he like her? Did he think she was weird? But she also felt it wasn't really something she needed to know. Well, so long as he liked his present and it made him happy, she was content with that.

Almas nodded, "You seemed to have made a good impression upon him, Enki too... the demon won't shut up about you." He said with a bit of a smile. He seemed a lot more relaxed now, happier even. As though things were going better then at least the last time they had crossed paths.
They reached the door to Hyacinth's room and he tapped lightly on it before allowing the girl to go in before him. The room was the same as it had been the last time she'd been by though maybe a little neater, as though the angel had been cleaning for possible company.
Hyacinth looked over at the door from where he was sitting, reading and a smile appeared on his lips, "You came back." He murmured, a little breathless from excitement. She had been telling the truth about coming to visit again!

"Yes and I brought you a present!" the girl said, her bright smile increasing at the look on his face. "You said you were named for a flower, so I went and found one that was pretty and red just like your hair - it's not as nice a shade as your hair but I think it's pretty." As she spoke, she held out the hyacinth to Hyacinth.

The angel paused mid step and his blue eyes went wide in wonder as he starred at the rather exotic looking flower... not something one saw unless they ventured into the gardens, "Wow." He moved closer, slowly settling to his knees so he get a better look, get to smell it, to touch it carefully and otherwise inspect the item, "So this is a hyacinth." He looked almost like a child given something amazing, so very innocent despite looking full grown.
For some reason Almas felt a little envious of that, how long ago had it been that he'd lost his innocence? Lost the feeling of wonder that came along with new things? It felt like forever ago... He moved to lean against the wall by the door, remaining silent to allow the pair time to interact. It was good for them both after all.

Ebby felt warm and happy like she had before but to a greater extent this time. She'd brought him joy in some way, shown him something he had not seen before but was significant to him. That was good. She liked that she had made him happy and that he found this plant enjoyable. That's all she really had to ask for.
It felt interesting, having absolutely nothing to say and feeling content with that. Ebony usually felt awkward and scared when she wasn't sure how to continue a conversation and had to be silent. But it just felt right to be quiet and let him look, just enjoy being in his presence. And that was good.

The angel of Patience was quiet for a long while, just happy to bask in the warmth the flower seemed to add to the room. After a while he rose slowly to his feet, "We should find a nice place for it to sit and then get it some water." He murmured, looking around the room to find a spot that would be good for the flower to sit and grow, he finally chose a small table that said next to his bed and moved over to it.
It took a little rearranging of the many books he had sitting on it to make room but soon enough he was motioning to the little girl to bring the flower over to its new home.

Ebby carefully carried the plant over towards the table like she was instructed.
"The lady at the store said plants need sunlight too, so you may have to take it outside in the garden some." the toddler informed her friend quietly as she gently placed the flower in it's indicated new home. "It's how they make their food."
