[he's taking this in slowly. romantic love. she loves him? like that? his heartbeat is quickening, but he's not sure how to react. when he confessed to Silent Salt, he was so heated. now, here White Lily is talking about romantic love as easily as breathing.
he closes his mouth, only realizing that his jaw had dropped a moment ago. his fingers curl around her hand and he speaks softly]
You. Loved me. Romantically.
[saying it out loud, repeating it like that, makes his own cheeks burn. Elder Faerie is not one who flusters easily, but White Lily has him feeling like a young Fae right now]
( lily is quiet for a moment, despite knowing the answer. in the dream of the fairy kingdom, they had been together. it began with their wedding and her coronation.
Elder Faerie looks at her for several seconds, enamored, enchanted. his fondness for White Lily Cookie was always admiration, and love. but he never dreamed to be loved like that in return.
after a moment, he closes his eyes, thinking. he wants to sing a song of joy. so he does, words spill out in the Faerie Cookie language that she will no doubt know, expressing his deep devotion for her. it's all that he can think of to do in this moment, because regular words seem... silly. like they would not be enough]
the song is such a wonderful thing to experience with her hearing renewed. she can't imagine him giving her such a wonderful gift and not being able to truly appreciate it. to think that she could have potentially gone without hearing this forever...
lily leans against him, head resting above his heart as she wraps her arms around him. she could join the song, but she wants to let him speak first. while she rests against him, vernal snuggles up to puck and begins nuzzling through his feathers like little baby kisses. )
[Puck snuggles back, clearly enjoying the song. and the affection!
Elder Faerie sings a few verses, his notes carrying phrases about love, longing, blossoms in spring bursting into vibrant colors in summer. though she was baked with lilies in her dough, Elder Faerie cannot help but sing about his own love for her being a red rose, passionate and devoted to White Lily Cookie.
once he's finished, he leaves a kiss to her hair, grateful that he was able to sing to her, and that she could hear it. there are tears on his pale lashes, sitting there like dewdrops]
...My... apologies. Your words touched me, and I could not help but return the love you gave to me.
[he would be a hypocrite if he did not accept her. after all, he's confessed to Silent Salt already. he wonders... if she knows? or if they should all discuss this. eventually, yes. but he'll allow Lily some time. she just returned, after all!
his arms wrap around her, protectively]
Of course, my Lily. I always shall accept you, no matter what.
( lily hums softly, letting herself simply be for once. no hatchlings to chase, no clinic work, no fretting over dinner- simply resting in the arms of someone she loves. )

Oh, Elder Faerie, I never stopped.

( she sighs happily, the most relaxed he's seen her now by far since this mess started, little elf ears wiggling slightly. )
Even with all that comes with me, would you accept me?
( pains, multiple partners and all? )
