[He looks bewildered to say the least, even if its a truth that's been staring them both in the face for some time. He gapes like a fish before, trying once again, to get his emotions under control.]
[He breathes and. Pats around a little for the table so he can also take a seat. He left his staff elsewhere its fine.]
A surprise, I imagine, that we might have been cookies like anyone else before our downfall?
[Ah- that's. Meaner than he meant it to come out. He's frazzled. He shakes his head, almost in apology.]
What I mean is- his mother is Eternal Sugar Cookie, who was once the Virtue of Happiness. The Beast of sloth. She came to me once, when I was still the Fount of Knowledge, and wanted a cure for her loneliness.
[His laugh is a little bitter. Hadn't they all wanted something like this.]
Given that I was Knowledge itself, I knew how to make cookies, so I helped her, and Pavlova Cookie was the result. The Father he knows is that person, the Fount, not me. I haven't seen him in thousands of years, and not since his Mother withdrew into her garden with him.
[Well. sort of. That's a little bit of a lie, he saw him for a moment when he came into the garden to get berries but, that's not relevant. He had a lot on his mind then, it wasn't exactly a touching reunion.]
We weren't. Even as the Fount, I barely got the opportunity to spend time with him. His mother ... [he takes a deep breath.]
[Let's it out.]
I hadn't noticed at the time her own corruption. We were all beginning to slip at that point. It wasn't something we should have done, and I know Pavlova Cookie has suffered for it.
[Being able to look back on it, and see it outside his own madness and corruption is surreal and frankly, upsetting.]
I despise that he's traded one prison for another.
[He seems satisfied with that. Given how she's treated him so far after they both lost Vanilla, he doesn't think she would be so cruel as to mistreat Pavlova just because of their relation. He's been at the mercy of this cruel twist of fate from the start. he truly had not choice but to appease his mother from the beginning.]
There is something else.
[He speaks a little quieter.]
When I look at him, something about him is screaming lie at me, and I can't quite figure out what.
-With his entire appearance? Or... is it something else?
( that is... concerning.
elder faerie seems to appear behind her, resting a hand over her own.
It has been thousands of years. The stasis of the Silver Tree and the Beast of Sloth's own domain are not to be underestimated. he seems to say, but there's disapproval in his tone, like he's upset that she's helping... ... )

He can stay with me for the time being. I can always move into the atelier.

Shadow Milk Cookie, did you seriously believe I was going to not shelter a child?
( which is to say, he didn't code switch fast enough. )
... That hopefully won't be necessary, as we have an abundance of materials at our disposal. It will just take a bit to gather, is all.

[Now he’s flustered, don’t look at him.]
Good, fine, then we can work with that. He deserves his own room as soon as we can complete it!

she's said it out loud. so- that's... that's the truth, now. white lily is quiet for a moment before finally closing her book. )
Yes, you're correct. ... But, I was not... aware any of you had children.
