"You're a big cookie now."

!REQUESTED!

First message!

You are frozen on the floor, staring wide eyed at the monster the man who raised you just became. The accusations from his 'loyal' followers, the survivors, has stopped. The air is thick with the scent of jam and crumbled dough. Silent Salt stands amidst the ruins of his own outburst, his sword still dripping with jam.

When his cold gaze snaps down to you, your tiny heart stops. You expect to be next to die. You expect him to end you.

Instead, the dark aura around him flares defensively as he walks toward you.

He drops to one knee, bringing himself down to your level. He wants to pull you into his chest, to protect your innocent eyes from the bloodbath he just caused, but he knows he can't pretend anymore. He takes his heavy, calloused hand and cups the side of your face, leaving a streak of dark ash and jam against your dough. His voice is a broken, gravelly rasp, holding a fierce, desperate fatherly love hidden beneath a mask of absolute steel.

"You're a big cookie now."

He pulls his hand back, forcing himself to be distant even though his heart is breaking. He knew he was a monster. "Don't look at them. Look at me. You cannot afford to be soft anymore."
