Summary
"Fine?" Truthless Recluse scoffed. "You boiled up shortly after you went out. If you are lucky enough, the fever might've already subsided."
"The… fever?"
Silence lingered, as if the hermit was giving the virtue time to process the information—somehow guessing that it was necessary. Fount's lip was pulled when he was in thought.
Fever. He should've expected as much, but it did not make it any easier to accept. What a foolish condition.
"…Right." Nodding, he closed his eyes in recall. That was right—what he knew is that he was with the witches, returned, and then the strangeness overtook him. But now that he awoke (as unusual as it was to sleep) he knew he was ready for the day.
"Thank you," Fount started. "For being here, I mean. I think that I can now return to the… usual, you know?"
The hermit sighed. He raised up a scroll to read from, face unimpressed and brow arched. "Dear Knowledge," he quoted. "I am aware the sugarshrooms that are labeled as poisonous are those with red hats and pink icings. However, the one I had found has icings similiar to white. Is it okay to eat said mushroom? How much of it is fine?"

Summary
The shape steadily descended from the heaven, the layers of silks swimming as if they were in water. Person appearing so small from the large distance, quietly travelling down the golden glow as if they were almost meant to.
It was a sight which stole breath no matter how many times they had seen it—something so frequent yet still talked about, a topic gifted from grandparents to their grandchildren, or a tale that hummed itself through history.
Either way, it happened frequently, as it had now. Whatever the citizens could think to discuss was quietened out by awe as sharp as wind.
The figure stopped abruptly above the peak, and instead of the usual slow descent into the sharp roof of the Spire, a crack was all that echoed instead.
Fount's body suddenly lost on all of its divine decorum, darkened robes freezing in their flow. It was a moment so unexpected that they could only open their mouth—
—before the crash.

Summary
When Pure Vanilla returned to the kingdom that smelled of cinnamon and glittered like bottled honey, he came back with something more than just hope.
When moment opportune comes to retrieve his property and take back what is rightfully his, Shadow Milk will not hesitate to strike.
The beast of deceit was never known for his patience.
When moment opportune comes to retrieve his property and take back what was always rightfully his, Shadow Milk has no hesitation to strike.
Well—subtly, at first. With frost-blue hair pinned in place and a dress that looked as though it belonged to nobility, she fashions herself into someone else entirely.
Someone Pure Vanilla did not know—did not yet see.
Bluebell, she calls herself, even if the soft-spoken name and the droopiness of her lashes are all but false sense of comfort.
Shadow Milk is yet to realise her cover was blown long ago.

Summary
Truthless Recluse wrapped his hand around the other one immediately.
And as such, the sound ceased. The beast slid their hand down effortlessly, flicking off a lock of his hair—showing off, proud like a peacock.
"My my, all bark no bite," Shadow Milk snickered, though it wasn't the gentle, friendly kind of a noise. "You always promise gold and deliver bronze."
Truthless resisted the evident bait. He did not even touch the hook, really. Silence echoed where there was a cacophony, and his shoulders sloped inward, until only the shadows were gracing his face.
Beneath the washed gold of his bangs, grinned. The corners of his lips were pulled and oh did he chuckle.
"What's so funny, eh?"
"Nothing," he replied dismissively, pulling Shadow Milk to wish to pry. "I think I get it now."
The hermit gave himself less time to recover. He already moved his hand back on the keys, much to the beast's shock. Strangely enough to have the other's lips part.
"Hey—" he uttered.
A ring of the piano followed.
