“I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I realize it couldn’t have been a mere monster. Was it someone ... important to you?”

              cynthia was at it again, hauling home a basket full of fruits. had she purchased them herself, or were they gifted to her from another of her adoring, beautiful fans. in his mind, he could picture the hoards of women who would just... flock to him the way they did her. yet in reality, it was never quite so. “tell me, what sweet gifts have you gotten today? and are any of them frozen?” inigo flashed her his best dashing smile, marred only slightly by the forming bruise on his upper cheek from where a girl’s hand had met his face with quite a bit of force. in her defense, his hand had met her rear in a completely accidental way.
