[It's been...at least a day or so, now, since Sparkling saw the announcement Gnosis made about Mizuki's passing, which included the revelation that most of the Cookies in the grove had been bitten by the same creature that killed him. It's quite the terrible shock to receive, especially after how peaceful and downright jovial things had been up until now.

What had happened? What changed? Well...they were back in the Creature's domain. And it was clear the Creature was not happy.

It saddens and worries him to hear about the others, but more than anything...he finds himself distressed to know that Clotted Cream counted among their number. It makes him feel...feel in a way he can't properly put to words, other than very, very bad. And though he does not seek him out immediately, it's not for lack of wanting...he just isn't sure what is and isn't appropriate. Is he even fit to see visitors right now?

Well, eventually, Sparkling gets over himself long enough to come by. Surely someone will be well enough to let him in when he asks, Pure Vanilla if no one else...]

[ Thankfully for Sparkling, Pure Vanilla will be the one to answer the door. Dark Cacao might turn him away, being as how everyone is exhausted in one way or another. The sheep looks like a stiff wind can blow him over right now, but he will smile without forcing it when he spots Sparkling. ]

Sparkling... please, come in. Are you here to see Clotted Cream?

[Lol lmao oh...is it that obvious?

The Vampire fidgets a bit where he stands, feeling a weird tension leave his shoulders when he's invited in.

Huh. Weird.

Anyway, he steps forward, his expression nothing short of sympathetic when he looks at the Minotaur.]


I am, yes. But just as well...how are you and Miss Lily doing? I wanted to see if there was anything at all I could do to help.

[ He's a dad/grandparent/ancient old man who can smell love a mile away. He steps aside for Sparkling, shutting the door behind him as he does. It seems Pure Vanilla's open door policy is no longer in effect. ]

She is in and out often, and I do not blame her. The pain is intense for her, and in already frail health her body cannot handle it much. I am well.

[ Tired. Bags under his eyes more pronounced than normal. He pauses and sets his hand on Sparklings shoulder, squeezes it softly. ]

Clotted Cream seems to have suffered hallucinations far worse than Lily, please keep this in mind. You can help if you manage to ease him. I am sure he'd be glad to see you.

[What an awful time. It makes Sparkling feel strangely guilty, for not being there to help...though he isn't sure what he could have done. If Pure Vanilla's healing magic wasn't enough to quell it, then his own wouldn't have even touched it, weaker in comparison as it is.]

Mm...I'll do all that I can for him. If you need me, I'll be staying for a while.

[He means it, PV. If you need a break, let Sparkling take vigil for a shift.

From there, though, he'll step carefully and quietly further inside to where Clotted Cream is resting, though he can't help but feel a lingering sense of dread over the state he might find him in.]

[Ah...oh, Clotted Cream. He certainly does not look well, even if he is alive, thank the gods.

He approaches the Mer's beside carefully, wringing his hands as he goes. He's careful not to make too much noise as he finds a seat nearby, pulling his chair up until he's sitting reasonably close.]


Oh, Clotted Cream...I'm so sorry this happened to you. And that, I...

[Oh, what a relief it is to see Clotted Cream stir and actually wake. Sparkling would have stayed regardless of course, even if he just remained trapped in a hallucinatory slumber. Fortunately that isn't the case, even though he's still clearly struggling...]

It's me. I'm here.

[He pulls his chair just a little closer, and without thinking he reaches out to find one of Clotted Cream's hands. There's no hesitation there, he just does it. He thinks he, too, would want the grounding contact if he were stuck in a similar hell of his mind's own making.]

I heard what happened from Gnosis, and I came by as quickly as I could. Pure Vanilla told me you were resting in here.

No...you're lucky you can greet me at all, actually.

[And he would have (gently) coaxed him to lay back down, had he not done so himself. There's no need to push himself for his sake, no matter how he's feeling.]

I. ...I have to apologize. Perhaps, if I had been closer, or...something, I could have helped you. All of you.

[Logically, Sparkling knows that if he had been there, he probably would have likely gotten hurt too. Maybe. He's not sure exactly how it went down, other than quickly...

He perks up the moment Clotted Cream asks after his water though, prompting him to quickly lean over and pick it up from the table.]


I have it here.

[He very gingerly places the glass into his free hand, though he's not above helping him if he's weak enough to need it. It's a delicate line he's toeing, not wanting to be patronizing, but also wanting to help him at the same time.]

If you need more, please let me know. I don't plan on going anywhere.

[Clotted Cream can take all the time he needs. Sparkling is patient, waiting for him to drink as much as he will before taking the glass back and setting it nearby in easy reach for when he needs more. Perhaps he'll ask Pure Vanilla for a pitcher, before long.

He's half expecting for Clotted Cream to go silent from there, honestly. Maybe go back to sleep, which he wouldn't blame him for in the slightest after all he's been through. But then...]


For me?

[It's truly the most unexpected thing he could have said, but he will move to open it regardless, reaching in to pull out its contents...]

[Sparkling holds the shell delicately in his claws, turning it over to watch the way the light dances off its surface. It's not hard to see the significance, not to mention magic, contained in the shell. And when Clotted Cream informs him that it's not just for everyone in the house, but him too? He's left at a loss for words.

He knows he hasn't done the best job of socializing with the other cookies. It's been a bit difficult, comparatively, to pull himself from his work at Luca's bar, especially with the others all functioning as a unit since before his arrival. Least of all with each of them being either Ancient or of some high social standing...it leaves him feeling a bit like a fish out of water, to say the least.

So, to say he's touched by the gesture would be an understatement as he holds the shell close.]


I...I don't know what to say. This is so kind of you...genuinely.

Another? Clotted Cream, you realize you are going to be spoiling me at this rate, don't you?

[It's all said in jest of course as he lets the necklace fall naturally around his neck, deciding then and there that that is where it will stay. It won't leave him, not unless it's coming off of his corpse.

Well. His ACTUAL corpse.

Nevertheless, he'll make his way over to the dresser to retrieve said box, tilting his head a bit as he brings it back.]


Don't tell me it's more jewelry.

[Sparkling is...speechless, even moreso than he was a moment prior, as Clotted Cream explains himself. Though he knows he can't fluster when his body isn't alive, he still feels like he must be, like his face is somehow growing hot despite lacking the ability to do so any longer. This isn't just a token of friendship or appreciation, oh no. It's something far more than that.

It's also a confirmation. Of something he's spent a long time wondering himself.]


You know, I...I had begun to wonder if I was just imagining things. You know? This...odd feeling, like we've known each other for a long time. I don't...remember it, and yet...

[He holds the pearl close, as if doing so will affix it to his neck just like the shell had been.]

...my unbeating heart recalls a life that I cannot.

[He looks up, gazing at Clotted Cream through blonde-white lashes.]

I would like nothing more, Clotted Cream. I daresay I would be quite happy to call you my boyfriend, as a matter of fact.

[This time, Sparkling has no reason to hesitate. He reaches his clawed hand gently out to take Clotted Cream's in his own, very gentle so as to not accidentally clip the thin membranes between his fingers. His only regret, perhaps, being that it's not as easy to intertwine them. This will do for the time being, though.

He doesn't even realize it, but his tail is wagging. Just, ever so slightly.]


Where is the best place to confess? At sunset by the beach, perhaps?

[Sparkling laughs right along with him, though it's a lot more fond than it is shy. He's just...so incredibly fond of Clotted Cream that he's not sure what to do with himself, either.]

I would like to stay here a while, if you don't mind the company.

Well, maybe when you're well again...I would certainly be amenable to a do-over. A recreation, perhaps?

[Sparkling is dramatic and corny enough to want to "renew their vows" even though they've been dating for all of two minutes.]

But in that case...is there anything I can get you while I'm here? Some more water, perhaps?
