Nevada's hands were busy in the ground, tearing up weeds and grass, loosing soil like Shiloh had showed her to plant the watermelon seeds. Storm's had passed on the Island, and their little garden patch had been ravaged with it.
A small thing of hers destroyed, a small memory vanquished. She could fix this, she could at least fix this and when watermelon seeds would grow for them, they could eat them and think back on it. This was Shy and Nev's patch of garden, it was filled with love. It was filled with what she wanted to fix.
Her arm came up and she smiled over at the help she had hired...or pretty much dragged out with her. He had more free time, instead of his chores for death. She hadn't asked him why yet, but she didn't want to ruin the relieved smile...the happy that spread around him.
"How you doing over there Handsome?" she maybe peeped at his gardening area she had given him, "Oh that's good, It'll get a lot of sun over there."

Otto had no idea what he was doing.
The teen mimic'd what he'd seen Nevada do, and just guessed at where things should be planted. He'd watched his mom garden before, but for the most part he'd had no hand in it. Besides all that, he kind of enjoyed this. It was simple. It was an activity done outdoors in the sun. Getting his hands dirty with soil rather than blood. It was heartwarmingly simple.
Otto looked over as Nevada spoke, "Yeah? Oh.. cool.." Yeah, he'd totally picked this spot on purpose! Yeah! Sun... and stuff...
...OH!
"Oh right!" That reminded him of something important he hadn't gotten t tell her. "I transferred to Sun, recently."

Nevada hummed a little as she patted the seed in. She was most defenitly listening to Otto, it was hard not to when that's all she wanted to hear. When it was all she wanted to focus on. The clarity would be short lived, she was sure, but with the highest hopes she had felt since Leroy was broken, she was happy. She was hopeful, optimistic.
She couldn't wait for the bond to mend again.
Sitting back on her hands, she gave him a wide smile and laughed. "You joined Sun!" That's why he had so much free time! Why he felt happier, She was happy for him. "That's really facing the danger head on right?"
She moved her way from her spot to his, laying her hands on his to help with the gardening and kissing his cheek. "I'm proud of you. A step in the direction of one bit happier! I can't wait to see Allan dress you up in a maid costume."
more little chuckles.

"Yeah, but that's why I like it." He admitted with a shy smile. "It's a total 180 from Death. Overanalyzing stuff and still not having the full picture is exhausting. In Sun, all I need to know is what needs attacking." Not that he planned to be all brawn and no brain. Just less brain and more brawn.
She came closer, and he leaned into her kiss on the cheek with a warm smile. He had more time for warm moments like this, and less worrying about work and how terrible a hunter he was.
"Oh God, don't remind me." There were many downsides to joining sun. Costumes were one of them. But they all outweighed the cons of being a Death Hunter. "I'd rather see you in one."

"I don't blame you. Death isn't my forte much either. And they often are more suspicious of their own hunters then the going ons of other places..." Not that she could say anything, after all it was probably death that moved on the information that she gave Lance. Lance just drove Aria out...probably to save her.
"I use to think I might go into a more Life/Mist lifestyle. Process date, fill in the reports. I'm not so brainy for that..." She laughed, "I like mist...specilize in all, but not one. It was a good balance." Not to take away from his sun.
"I like suns too..." She smiled wistfully, "You're going to be taking care of my twin sister too, you know." She nudged him, "Don't fall for her okay, I don't wanna have to beat her up."
She laughed again at his disposition of costuming for suns. She thought it would be amusing in the most sanest way. He could've picked a far worse division after all. His comment about her in a costume earned a raised eyebrow and another nudge. "You got a thing for maids Otto...." She teased, "Maybe if you find me a costume, I'll wear it for you..." A bit more seriously, she looked at him...
"I know the best way to clean up dirty boys...." The wiped her dirt covered hand all over his cheek. Super srs face.

"Mist sounds like a division of busy bodies." He commented with sass, giving her a smirk.
As if he could fall for her sister. "I think she'll be safe from your fists." He liked Nevada, no one else. Not a single one had clicked so well with him. He prayed Stormy's idea would work and save her. He wanted more years with her like this.
Otto's lip curled a bit at her terrible pick up line, pinching her nose between his thumb and forefinger. "Bullshit. You're just as dirty and terrible as me."

"Well we are duh." She gave him a look, "Have you met more of the mist division. Stormy...She's always in business...and me? I'm always in people's business and who else..." She tapped her fist to her palm, "Dorian...Molly...Jesus we really are. Candace!" Mist was also full of mother hens..even Dorian.
"That's good, she's stronger then me." She hadn't seen Alaska yet, hadn't told her she was dying..that she might be dying. Might.
"Hey!" She rubbed the dirt off her nose, which was actually adding more and gave him a wounded look. "I am pure as the white snow in winter, as giving as a angel descended from the heavens...." She raised her arms and then looped them over his, resting her head on his shoulder. "I can't say it seriously, yep I am just as terrible, just as dirty. woe is my pure reputation I never had." She teased.
"Why did you choose Sun...say instead of moon?"

She couldn't even say it with a straight face.
He rested his head atop hers, looping and arm around her waist. "Moon sounds more like defence and looking out for people. I have a hard enough time looking out for me, or you."
"It's better left to people with a wider attention span for s**t like that."

Her hands curled into his jacket, sitting with sun and Otto. "I love you." She said testingly, because it meant a lot to her....it meant everything to her to say it to him. She never told Chelsea that she had, not even Tuck. She had told them she liked them seriously, but never loved.
"And I thank you for being my prince charming..." She turned her head up a bit to kiss him along the jawline, because of small comforts, small moments of affection. She wanted them all. "I wish I hadn't become such a trouble for you Otto." She closed her eye against his shoulder, resting. "I keep telling myself that I should let you go, you'll be happier without the added stress..."
And then she laughed, "But I like that your attention span has enough room for me." She pushed back a little, looking up at his face. "So have you sat with the sun hunters yet and compared your oversized weapons yet?" She was totally grinning because double entendre OTTO. Get it...oversized weapons wink wonk wink.
So pure...so pure Nevada was not.

His heart skipped. It was hard to breathe normally when he heard her say that. "I love you, too.." He murmured back, stealing her lips for a proper kiss. He loved the little kisses she pressed to his jaw. He loved just about everything she did.
Prince Charming. He smiled a bit at that. He hardly thought he was a prince or charming, but why not. "I wouldn't be happier, and you know that." He scolded her softly, ruffling her hair. "I need you."
Otto scoffed and shoved her away playfully. "Go plant yer damn melons, brat." He grinned.

Her's return the skip, and knew he wouldn't say it so lightly, so carelessly. Under her breath, she murmured a I love you most but it was swallowed by kisses. Her head always reeled at the idea that Otto was kissing her? Because he wouldn't be the type too just give them carelessly. Even if he claimed he could.
"Yes Yes, I'm the only one keeping those wolves at bay. Young females all over the Island suddenly fawning over you, large amounts of crowds coming to carry you off.." She was teasing again, even if she was shoved away.
"You want me to plant melons do you...?" She playfully cupped her own pair, "Well if you don't wanna compare oversized weapons, when my melons pop, we can compare the size of those." She clenched her fist with a detrimened look. "I will have the biggest melons on the whole Island. And they will be delicious and great." It set her upon tilling more land with a new passion and goal.

Otto bit his lip, trying not to laugh as she kept on with melons this and melons that. It was immature, he knew. But damn it was funny. "Your melons are perfect, no need to compare." Was he talking about gardening anymore? Who knew.
He set himself back to helping her plant.

Melons this and Melons that...
"I'm gonna plant Potato's over there.." She pointed a bit past him, "Because the soil over there is a bit tougher and grainer...good probably for root veggies...that's what the directions say. And we can have potato, watermelon salads or something." It sounded terrible, but she did it to chatter, she wanted to chatter...it was too nice of a day not to chatter.
"Oh oh Otto, you know how to get a girl right in the heart..." She fluttered her eyelashes, "Telling me of my perfect melons, those are swooning words Handsome. Swooning."
She made another row for the last of her seeds.
"Okay last question..." She smiled up over at him, "Aren't there some people you hate in Sun? Will you be okay dealing with them?"

"Not potato and watermelon together in a salad." Otto curled his lip. "Gross." He hoped she meant as separate meals. "Oh also, you can't eat the seeds otherwise a watermelon grows in your gut and explodes." He said this with a complete poker face, digging in the ground to make room for potato plants.
He smirked a bit at her swooning. Yes, he was a regular Romeo.
"Lot's of people, yeah. Rep, Kat..." To name some of the worst. "I'll be okay. As long as they work when they're supposed to, it'll be fine."

"You don't like veggie fruit salad???" She gave him a look, "You could use some more veggies.." Not that she was one to talk...she was back to eating....small amounts. They didn't fill the hunger she craved, but she had promised Stormy and Otto...and if her bond was mended with Leroy, she'd have to explain to him why she was in such a miserable state.
She could already see Leroy lecturing her. God did she miss him.
"Who told you that..." She gave him a look, "Thats a superstition mom's tell kids or something." She waggled a finger at him.
She didn't mind either Rep or Kat, the latter of the two was actually a sort of friend. She wondered what the young woman did to make Otto dislike her so much. "I still think you'd look the best in a maid outfit..." She started again, piling soil on her seed and grinning down at it because...well it was funny to imagine.
