Markus was bathing in the sun, letting his wings soak in them. He was comfortable, enjoying being lazy. He often acted as a kind of bee for the flowers as well, since a lot of pollen got stuck to him whenever he crawled into the blossoms of flowers.
He looked up when he could feel some pollen land on him, curious what was on a higher flower. He could see the magic of another fairy.
“Hello”, he greeted with a smile.Markus was surprised by Oliver’s action, but he didn’t mind at all. He smiled softly, leaning his head against Oliver’s.
He hummed in thought, playing with his sleeves. What to tell Oliver?
“Well, flower fairies usually live in groups. I just don’t because of how I’m treated. We live off of sunshine, and nectar from flowers. We take care of our flower fields, to make sure they can grow, and no weeds bother them. Or whatever else might!”, he began telling Oliver then, smiling as he did.“We’re pretty common, and the smallest fairy kind. Weed fairies like to latch onto us, and many of us die in the winter, since we don’t tend to go to fairy rings a lot. I’m one of the lucky ones who haven’t frozen to death on my first winter.”.
“Doesn’t it get lonely, sometimes? Without a hive, or group, of your own? Since there’s so many of you, why don’t you start your own group?”, Oliver asked, tilting his head. Even if other flower fairies didn’t like Markus, it was possible that he could find more fairies.
Oliver had dealt with weed fairies before. He had recently recovered from his last encounter with a large swarm of them.
“It does get lonely, some times. I.. I’m not sure why I never did, really. I got used to being alone. And whenever it’s mating season, I find another flower field with fairies. It’s not really bad to get back here alone.”, he shrugged lightly, careful not to disturb Oliver resting on him.
“I’m just used to being alone. Maybe I’m afraid I’ll be treated differently by everyone.”, he mumbled. He didn’t have anyone he really cared about, he didn’t have a bond with anyone.
