Life seemed to be looking up for Lotus and his new friends. His leg was pretty much healed, though he had to use a cane crafted by his own hands, and he’d probably have to use it for the rest of his life, but he was mobile enough to get a job with Wil at the flower shop. It helped that he was in Adhbhar. He kept the soil fresh and rich for all the plants, and he loved spending time with Wil.
He was off today, and was currently working on repairing the kitchen sink that had recently sprung a leak. When he wasn’t at the flower shop, he spent most of his days working around the small apartment. He even managed to fix the hole in the window where they use to shove a ratty old t-shirt through to keep the cold out. It was the least he could do for his roommates. They took him in, allowed him to stay, and nursed him back to health.
Lotus was almost done patching up the hole in the pipe when he heard the front door open. “Wil?” He called. “Is that you?”
He carefully pushed himself out from underneath the sink, grabbed his cane and used it to push himself up. Grimacing, he hobbled slowly toward the sound of another clio. His leg always hurt the worst after not using it for a while.
“Oh!” He said, when he saw it was Grey. “Hi!”
It was always a little awkward around Grey. Lotus still didn’t know much about him, though he wished he did. With Wil not being around, maybe today would be the day they could get to know each other a little?
“I uh...fixed the leak!” Lotus added awkwardly.
