[Tamas smiles and lifts Tim up, giving him a piggyback ride towards the garden. He reaches the great and tall hedge and presses his hands to it. The branches part to his touch, opening up to a wonderland of flowers, trees, low-hanging citrus and apple trees and the smell of herbs in the sun.] This is my little paradise. There are pears and raspberries ripe. And a few late oranges. What would you like?
[He giggles and clungs to Tamas as they walk, gasping with delight as the hedge parts. He gets to his feet and spins around as he looks at all the wonders around them.] It is a paradise. How do you ever choose?
[Tamas gives of wave of happiness at Tim's appreciation.] I've worked very hard with the help of a lot of wonderful people to build and grow this garden. [He comes to sit under the oak at the centre, smiling softly as he feels his garden's harmony.] I feel most at home here.
[He nods to a nearby pear tree where ripe fruit is hanging close enough for Tim to reach.] Try that one. [He calls to the tree through the earth, the branch bending a little to Tim.] They're very sweet.
I'm glad you like it. [Tamas beams.] Help yourself to anything you feel like. I can tell you what's ripe and ready to eat. I grow it to be eaten after all. That's what it's for.
[He giggles and takes careful, polite bites of the pear, beaming at the taste.] I've never had fruit that tastes this... this... good, and fresh and... it's like it's more? I-I don't know the correct word... Thank you for sharing with me.
Food grown with love and for people we love always taste better. [Tamas smiles, picking a handful of raspberries to share with Tim.] The food grown here is grown to be shared. And I'm glad to have you here to share with.
[He smiles and curls up beside Tamas to nibble on the berries.] I'm. I'm very glad to share it... it's wonderful. Your family is very lucky to have you... you're a very good person.
[Tamas reaches out to hug Tim gently, avoiding touching his back.] As your family will be very lucky to have you. Come share the peace of the garden with me.
[He helps Tim finish over the raspberries and wipes his hands on his jeans. He offers Tim his hand, pulling Tim gently to lean against him. He closes his eyes and finds the harmony of the garden, letting the peace he feels here flow to Tim.]
[Tamas clears a space with a wave of his hand, folding up his jacket for Tim to use as a pillow.] You will always be protected here, my brother. Always. [He presses a soft kiss to Tim's hair and lets him rest, keeping watch with his back braced against his oak.]
[Giggling and filling the air with flowers.]

[He takes a slow careful bite and bounces a little on the balls of his feet.] Oh! Oh this is so good!
