[From here]

There's a massive mound of trailing purple flowers. Bodhi smiles and steps forward, parting them. Turns out the mound is a tree, it's flower laden branches reaching the floor and forming a protected hollow around the trunk. Like a living cave, dim and private. The light of the greenhouse dapples against their skin as Bodhi pulls Galen inside, kissing him soundly.

Galen holds him tightly and shuts his eyes as now and then, purple petals float down onto their sticky skin.

When Bodhi wakes up, they have quite a dusting of flowers. Which makes him smile. He watches Galen breathe, amazed by just how handsome his beloved is. He stokes away flower only to notice a purple mark on Galen's skin, just where the flower was resting.

And another.

And another

"Oh, poodoo!"

[galen_erso]

Galen startles awake suddenly.

"Yes? What??"

[imthepilot]

"This is my fault!" he looks down at his chest, scrubbing at a purple and teal blotch on his skin. "The flowers must have some chemical in them that our skin is reacting to. We need to scrub off and quick."

[galen_erso]

"How is a flower your fault?" Galen says. "Even if the colour is -- a bit spectacular. I fear we must run into the lake naked."

[imthepilot]

"And across the snow." Good thing they're not that far for the inlet. He gets up, looking Galen over. "Spectacular is the word! Ready to run?"

[galen_erso]

"Run!" Galen declares, starting to hare through the greenhouse naked, everything flapping free, and then through the door out into the snow.

The teal and purple splotches are everywhere.

[imthepilot]

And so they run for it.
