Alright, so after Dark Choco leaves the sword in episode 14, Caramel Arrow makes contact with him again and they begin their relationship (I'm not going to get too into detail about how that happens because this ain't about them).

However, Dark Choco is still an exile, he still isn't allowed into the kingdom so Caramel Arrow is only able to see him during her time off work. Despite their difficult situation, they bake their son, Caramel Shortbread Cookie.

They aren't really ready to tell Dark Cacao about their relationship, so they continue keeping it hidden. This means Caramel Arrow doesn't bring Caramel Shortbread to the Kingdom with her ever. Especially since their child so undeniably looks like them, I'd be impossible for Dark Cacao to not wonder where the child came from and guess who the other parent is.

Post-episode 14, Dark Choco spends a lot of his time alone in the wilderness, and with their situation, it leaves Dark Choco being the main caretaker of their son. Caramel Arrow still needs to keep up her duties in the Dark Cacao kingdom, but she tries her best to get as much time off as she can, so she can be there for their son as much as possible.

To help keep Caramel Arrow's visits as frequent as possible, Dark Choco lingers around the outer boarders of the kingdom, below the cliffs of the Great Icing Ridge. Being below the ridge helps too since the blizzards aren't as harsh as it is further up where the kingdom is.

Dark Choco is basically raising his kid largely in the wilderness where it's cold and dangerous. Caramel Shortbread's fur collar helps with dealing with the cold. His hair is a little overgrown and messy due to being outside so much, and also Dark Choco just never thought to ever cut his hair lol.

Of course he has the signature white streak through his hair that every Dark Cacao family member has. However, combine that with the explosion of colored hair streaks that is Caramel Arrow's hair, his hair is also an explosion of hair streaks, now with white included. lol

The cold ridden wilderness isn't exactly the safest place to raise a kid and Dark Choco learns that the hard way. Dark Choco is a very skilled fighter, allowing him to fend off against any beasts that come their way. However, even the most skilled can fail with the smallest error. While fighting off a snow lion, the lion pulls an unexpected move, causing the beast to get the upper hand and attack Dark Choco's son. Luckily, Dark Choco was able to stop it before too much damage was done, but the beast still got too close, causing the scar across Caramel Shortbread's face that he now has to live with.

Caramel Arrow of course wasn't too happy with Dark Choco for letting this happen. She does soon forgive him as she acknowledges how unsafe his living conditions are, but it's the price they need to pay to keep their family together.

now here's more art of him
