birds dance or build a nest. rabbits play and jump over one other. deer will battle for a mate.

but how does human courtship work? i would very much like to know.

[faeshim]

you will never know that feeling again either. not for as long as you are here, i promise it.

[pinkblinded]

I'll make sure you don't feel that way while you're here either, Daeshim. I promise.

[faeshim]

i believe you.

now, about henry. do you think you might get married someday?

[pinkblinded]

[Oh wow...that's so sudden...]

I...

I don't... I don't know. I've never even thought about marriage. For me.

I thought I'd always be alone.

[faeshim]

it is understandable.

lennon believes that i tricked him into marriage. i would be happy to help you trick henry into it too!

[there's a reason he can't see the very big issue with this. trickery is in a fae's blood.]

[pinkblinded]

Oh no. I don't know that I want to trick him! I don't know that I'd even be good at that anyway.

[faeshim]

hmm. it is something of a gift. even if humans can lie, they are poorly matched when it comes to fae dealings.

a natural way then. i still believe that someday i will taste that cake.

[pinkblinded]

...You wanted to taste wedding cake?

[faeshim]

[he pauses before he responds. but the words still spill out the way they would if daeshim was speaking them]

legend has it that they are the most delicious of cakes! with many layers, and edible flowers that sparkle with sugar! they are sweet on the tongue and so moist! you don't even need milk with them!

it is my dream to one day taste one.

[pinkblinded]

I could make you one.

[faeshim]

is someone getting married?

[pinkblinded]

No. But there's no rule that says you can only eat that kind of cake on weddings.

[faeshim]

doesn't that make the cake a lie?

[pinkblinded]

Mm. I don't think so. You can always buy wedding cakes at bakeries even if there's no wedding, after all. I think it's mostly about the type of decorations they tend to have.

[faeshim]

...let's try it! i will see for myself just how delicious it is.

[pinkblinded]

I'll get what I need and make it. I can message you when it's done!
