Black Sapphire putting on a big relieved and happy face when he sees the twins, with the only sign of annoyance shown at the news Candy Apple is spending some time in the Faerie Kingdom (away from Recluse and the twins.) Shadow Milk doubts Eternal Sugar for a moment. It wouldn't be the first time she tried to turn them against each other.
But he watches him. Just to be sure. Just to be prepared.
(A quiet gift given after his visit to Eternal Sugar was Recluse's own eyes in the Spire, so they're both watching.)
Black Sapphire looked down at Recluse and his (blegh) half siblings.
"Twins." He mused softly, "How...unexpected."
"It was touch and go with your brother, but ol' auntie Flour had it handled." Shadow Milk chuckled. He watched Black Sapphire for a reaction like a hawk.
Black Sapphire's face remained unreadable. Then he blinked and turned to Shadow Milk, "I'll be able to give my report whenever you're ready." He smiled. Then he glanced back at Truthless Recluse and nodded, "Recluse." And he walked away.
Truthless Recluse winced as Pure Starberry unlatched, he traded hands with Shadow Milk, "Well...I think he reacted better than you thought he would." He accepted Starlight Vanilla from him and freed his other breast from his robe so he could latch on.
Starlight Vanilla squirmed and fought to latch.
"Ohhh, please..." Truthless Recluse gently patted his back, "Come on..."
Shadow Milk held Pure Starberry on his shoulder and began to gently rock bounce and pat her back. He hummed thoughtfully and stared at the door his oldest walked out. He closed the eyes in his hair and opened up his eyes in the Spire.
He glanced at Truthless Recluse when he sighed, "There you go, good boy." He brushed their son's few stray curls out from his face.
His eyes in the Spire watched Black Sapphire return to his room, hang up his microphone and go to the bathroom.
Shadow Milk stopped watching.
Maybe...maybe Flour had been wrong. Maybe Sugar was trying to turn him against their son.
There was...there was no way Black Sapphire would have killed nearly half a dozen of his siblings.
