DC is usually patrolling or at Pure Vanilla's house. But poking his notebook will always eventually get his attention!

"What do they need to hatch? Just heat? And what food and care?" Of course he's just thinking of the Babies. Screw himself.

Dear...

"They need warmth, yes, and presence. I believe the eggs may have resurfaced intentionally for their parents, but... few can enter the Black Sun's domain freely, so it is possible that they were separated while incubating.

When they hatch, they will take milks for two weeks before their fangs are strong enough to have solids, but at that point they can eat meat and fruit- their preferences will vary as any children would. Oh, but I don't know if they can have prepared foods...

They will be young for a very long time, so you will have time to learn and know them all."

So likely they will hatch soon. Good.

"Just like any child." He remembers Choco's picky years very well. "Do not worry. I will not fail you.

"I believe in you... and if you are by my statue, pray if need be. I will do everything I can to support you as well."

Ourania squeezes his hands gently.

"Take care of them, my dear Bitter Moon. And take care of yourself, as well. I'd cry if I were to learn you were in poor health, you know. You wouldn't want that, would you?" She smiles like she's making a joke but she's very serious.

...

But it's almost time to wake.

Ourania leans down and presses a soft, motherly kiss to Cacao's forehead.

"It is time to wake now, dear one. Be safe. I believe in you."







And Cacao will awaken, the hazy purple dawn shining through the window.
