She nodded, standing on her tiptoes to try to find the snowdrops. She was pretty sure she had, but then again she could be wrong. She clapped out of excitement before putting a finger to her chin. She thought for a moment before announcing, "I like daisy!" She remembers in her childhood going to a field full of daisies with her parents, that's when she learned how to make flower crowns.
She waved her hands repeatedly in an x like gesture. "No no no no! It okay! I understand!" She quickly said, not wanting Callum to feel bad. "Quiet is okay!"

personality _
(view spoiler)[Despite appearing like somebody who believes they're too mature for everything, Apollo is really excitable, and get really happy at the smallest things. Most of the time he's inebreated in some way, although recently he's been trying to stop as it's been putting a dent in his relationship with Orion and Uriah, but it's been really hard. He keeps trying to but the spirits that he sees seem to be even worse than they were before at times, especially when he sleeps or tries to do anything quiet. He often finds himself wishing his personality was more intimidating, but then again, if that was the case, maybe Orion wouldn't love him. Apollo is most accurately described as a himbo, but he can seem kind of smart, maybe when compared to a child. Despite his stupidity, he still has managed to get a decent paying job, even though it doesn't require much work.

history _
(view spoiler)[Apollo's life was decent. His family was kind, but that was as far as it went. One of his few friends as a kid was his brother, Sirion. He did everything with Sirion, despite him being 7 years younger than him, after all nobody really was his friend at a young age. People thought he was too reckless, too impulsive, and worst of all, scared easily, but he had reason to be so scared, with the other things they were kind of just him, but with that it was because he saw things that weren't really there. They were so scary. They were always trying to ask him to help them, yet when he tried to help they were never there. It was horrible. He just wanted to disappear from it all. Everyone at school riddiculed him for seeming uneasy in an almost empty hall, but to him it seemed like a hall full of dangers, a hall full of people who he thought wanted to hurt him. He began drinking at a young age, among other things, because he realized they could stop these spirits, or whatever they were, but he never drank around Sirion, he didn't want to be a bad influence on his brother, after all. While he tried to avoid coming home drunk, that often resulted in them getting upset at him for not coming home for multiple days, most of that time he was spending with his only friend, other than Sirion. His name was Orion and he was beautiful. Apollo loved him more than anything and he never wanted to lose him, and it seemed Orion love Apollo too. He was always so scared to tell him about his feelings, yet they always had this thing where they like jokingly flirted, but a lot of the time it seemed like they were just flat out flirting with each other. He loved doing everything with Orion, but never forgot about Sirion, when he was sober that is. He tried to be home as much as possible, but considering how his family acted whenever he came home, he thought it'd be best for Sirion if he were to stay away for a while. Eventually him and Orion got high togehter, and it was such an amazing feeling, he loved being with Orion like this, and he loved Orion. One day, him in Orion were going to explore a dark place, but he didn't have a flashlight, so Apollo had the great idea to spend the night at home and bring a flashlight from there, and he also got to stay with Sirion, so it was a win, win! During this time, he realized he didn't even know how old Sirion was, and felt like such a horrible brother. He told himself he'd try to sober up, as to spend more time with his brother, but he told himself it'd be after he asked Orion out, after all, it was almost like they were already in a relationship. After Sirion went to sleep he snuck out, bringing the first flashlight he saw just to go see Orion. They explored a far bit, but what Apollo was more focused on was the fact that they had kissed while they were exploring. It was so amazing, it felt perfect to kiss Orion. Before the night was over though, he had to return the flashlight, it was almost dead, but he didn't care, it'd be fine, it was just a flashlight after all, what could that even cause? He brought the flashlight back home, but before he went inside, Orion kissed him again, it felt amazing, despite it being a common occurance between them. He stayed home the day after their event, but when he woke, he realized it was late. He walked into the kitchen before his parents told him that Sirion died and they know it was his fault his flashlight died. She saw people mourning, maybe Sirion's friends, maybe fellow miners. Apollo felt horrible. He couldn't believe what he had done. He felt so horrible for killing Sirion. He didn't even get to sober up. He was only 15 when this happened. He had to suffer through it all, and it was even worse with his parents constantly blaming him. They kicked him out of the house when they found out he was doing drugs too. It was horrible. He just wanted to cry. At least Orion was there for him. He always had Orion. Flash forward 7 years, he still was friends with Orion, yet they still weren't together. He knew they both had a thing for each other, and it'd be so easy to ask him out, but they just never did. Around then he found a child who was alone, it seemed this child was placed in a similar situation to Apollo, except he was much younger, 8 to be exact. He felt pity for this child. Despite them living together for a year, he never realized that Uriah's imaginary friend was actually his dead brother, but that'd probably be subject to change. He stayed with Orion, never abandoning him, and he never stopped loving him. (hide spoiler)]

appearance desc _
voice claim ; Carpetgarden
fc ; i'm not sure
appearance ; Apollo is tall, very tall. He's 6'2 to be exact. He isn't very elegant, despite wearing things that would be hard to trip over. He just often struggles with moter skills, despite being a fully grown adult. His mannerisms are a bit odd, but nothing too out of the left field. Apollo wears whatever is avaliable, but likes slightly feminine things at times. He just likes looking very pretty, it's one of his favorite things.

Thank you, Orion, but I will probably forget that, spelling isn't my strong suit.

distinguishing features _ (view spoiler)[ He bears a shocking resemblance to Uriah, although he believes it's just coincidence, not that they are related (hide spoiler)]
abilities _ (view spoiler)[ He is able to see spirits, although it mostly manifests itself in ways that have caused him extreme distress in the past. (hide spoiler)]

"I doubt it, I live in the snake kingdom." He felt stupid for everything he previously said, despite him saying nothing wrong, just simply saying things normally. He felt so silly, it was as if he said the most stupid thing ever. "Well, goodbye," He said as he shamefully walked away, similar to the way a kid would when being yelled at by their parents.

"Oh-" Claude was confused, this person had left just as quick as he came. That was odd. Wait, this man dropped something. "Sir! You dropped your wallet!" Claude wasn't sure if he was in earshot, so he started to run after before realizing this person was actually in earshot and that was pointless. They slowed to a stop, already panting from running maybe at most 50 feet. He flattened his skirt, not because it was needed, but just because it was a simple habit. "I'm Claude, it's spelled like Claude, but it's pronounced Cloud." He realized after saying this, it wasn't really the best time to introduce himself, but it was fine.

"Oh no! It isn't dumb!" He inhaled for a moment before continuing, "Well, I'm actually not from here, I live in the snake kingdom." He felt silly for not being able to tell them about anybody, but they shook their head, trying to prevent himself from feeling dumb. "But, I'm Claude!" He pats his head, slightly squishing his fluffy hair. Odd thoughts kept circling his mind, but he still tried his best to distract himself from them. Claude smiled, trying not to seem like too much of a mean person, but he wasn't sure if it was working. He felt like he was being off-putting.

Claude was caught incredibly off-guard by this, he didn't really expect anybody to interact with him. "Oh, Hello," he said, his voice sounding a bit shakey, not out of fear, but because he just didn't expect to have to talk. He cleared his throat before continuing, "Uhm, how are you?" He found it a bit odd that somebody just approached him, he wasn't used to that, normally in public, the most just happened was a simple passing hello. His thoughts were racing to odd places, not something that normally happened, but it was fine.

Claude was wearing a simple pleated skirt and sweater, but he slightly regretted wearing the skirt, it was really cold today. He knew he would really prefer to be wearing a skirt, but Claude was still super cold. He sat down on a bench before his thoughts wandered to Carnation, he began to wonder when the next time they'd see him. They missed him. Claude began to just watch people, it was interesting to wonder what their life was like. There was one person who stuck out, he seemed different, but they weren't sure why. He seemed a bit basic, yet he stuck out. Claude wasn't sure if he was approaching, but it seemed as though he was. They distracted themself by thinking more about how much they missed Carnation. God, they couldn't wait to see him.
