“Uuuum, cake.” They have their big spoon in hand and they’re already reaching for a slice of some kind dessert with pink frosting. They have to kneel to get to the table, and they bounce happily in place and sing a little to themselves as they eat.
And they do! They eat a bit of everything, then stumbles on something mushy but sweet and kind of familiar, which turns out to be a mashed sweet potato. They eat the entire thing and lean their head against Sym’s arm as they start to slow up, eyes starting to droop and blink.
And Sym lifts the little one into his arms and puts them straight to bed, tucking them into the blankets before turning out all the lights. It leaves the mushrooms as a delightful nightlight.
