Do we need some ice? Pain potion? [Mel sat comfortably on the counter, enjoying her cookie as she waved to her siblings.] I think all the baby beasts deserve a treat, how does that sound? Mama and papa are so proud of you for defending your little sister!

“Yeah! With mama! I mixed the colors in the frosting!” [Persie smiled proudly as she nodded.] Our baby beasts are always the best little helpers in the kitchen.

“Shoogar cookie… with frosting…” [She took Mel, gently setting her on the kitchen counter before she procured the potion for her, giving her a small portion.] Here we are, love. Drink up, and papa will get your cookie. The ones we made earlier today? With the fun shapes?

Yes, love, c’mon. Mama will get you a potion for your head and papa will get your cookie for you, okay?

You’ll gelt your chance, little love, don’t worry! And mama will punch his parents in the nose, too! How does that sound? [She gently stroked Mel’s hair, hoping to soothe their baby girl.]

cleaned up, and mama will give you a nice potion to help your head? And then we can all have some nice cookies and hot chocolate?

Aww, precious baby girl… [She gently rubbed Mel’s back, pressing a kiss to her temple, trying to hide the tiniest smile at hearing how their baby beasts always looked out for one another.] I think your brother and sister showed him a thing or two. But how about we get you —

Darling? [She hurried over, hearing little Melinoe.] What’s happened? Who do I have to kill?

Of course you can! There’s plenty of both! [She grabbed a plate and set once of each on it for him before handing it over with a kiss.]

[And she wouldn’t be far behind, with treats for them to enjoy!] This all looks so cozy! [Setting down the donuts, she smiled softly.] I even glazed some this time!

That sounds perfect! I’ll bring the donuts right out!

That sounds lovely! I can get us some of those apple cider donuts that I made, too!

[She gripped his shirt and drew him closer, intent to kiss that pout right off him!]

Don’t be silly, my darling darkness. We’ve been enjoying the spooky season with the baby beasts! Now we can enjoy some actual time together, though! How does that sound?

[She matched his suspicion, her lips pursing.] If you don’t recognize your /wife,/ the better question is who are you, and why are you impersonating my husband?

I’ll get us some sweet treats, if you want to make the drinks?

[She contently clung back, nuzzling his jaw as she kept close. She wasn’t going anywhere!]

And soon you’ll bring your winter gifts around, too! I know how you always look forward to that! [She gave his hip a little bump with her own, laughing softly. She knew her baby brother!]

And your grandmama will be happy to hear it! She always has such amazing autumns! [She smiled, agreeing with him.]

Thank you, my darling boy! [She happily offered a hug, smiling to him.] Time for spooky season now!
