Looks.

"... ... ..."

On one hand, he could intervene. On the other...

A part of him was too tired to get involved.

     the most beautiful star , he said . as elpis glanced up to the sky , he tried grasping whatever beautiful star he could , before realizing he grasped all of them within sight . and as he counted them , before he could move on to the next he had already lost count , or counted the same star twice ... or so he thought .   how many stars were there ?

     his attention shifted to the one that erichthonios considered his favorite , which only made him think that , after all , elpis didn’t have a favorite star at all . if he recalled correctly , in the days of his youth , igeyorhm told him that the stars were but other worlds spread across the universe . to look up to the sky and its stars , elpis was always fascinated to be met with a sea of worlds . he could only wonder what life would be in any of them , as his adventurous spirit rejoiced at the mere thought .

     ❝ hmm , i don’t think i have a favorite star . ❞   but he did have a favorite person   ( it wasn’t the same thing , but still ! )   , and it was erichthonios , of course ! he didn’t know if he would sense what he felt at the moment by gently lacing his fingers with his , but he hoped that erichthonios somehow felt the same way — that , somehow , he was his favorite person as well . he didn’t want to know , but , instead , wished to be carried in his heart .

Mun questions!

Yeah, I get easily distracted lol.

I'm not a native English speaker, so that also makes the process of writing a bit more troublesome in a way.

“Is it normal for... for cake-creatures to do that?” sherbet mutters aloud to himself, inspecting the odd creature at a respectable distance. // To werehound!Dark choco!

From the very moment dough had turned to cake, creme fur growing to overtake him, candy horns poking from his head, paws- hands unable to wield the sword he’d fought so hard for, everything became unbearable. Too loud, too harsh, too obvious. They’d even leashed him with hard sugar chains. It was all so... wrong, even for him; the cookie who’d always considered himself a monster.

Dark Choco needed to get away.

Down through the tower he’d gone after chewing through his bindings, wincing with every too-loud clack of dark chocolate armor against stone and avoiding anything that would slow him down, be it other monsters or complicated movements.

It was only once he’d gotten a short distance away that Dark Choco had tried to really face what he’d become. He looked himself over - which was much easier when his scarred eye had become open again in the process, though the scar itself remained - huffing in quiet, angry breaths to himself. 

Next came an attempt at restoring at least part of his dignity...

Walking.

Dark Choco eventually managed to stand after repeatedly pitching himself up onto his backwards legs, only to quickly be weighed forward by his now-oversized head. The monster ran forward in what almost looked like a mad dash for the wall, crashing clumsily into it with a thud. It was there that he stayed for a moment, and it was also there that he’d become aware of a presence.

It was cold despite the red flames, seeping through his creme fur in an almost pleasant sensation. His thick tail wagged slightly beyond his control.

      ah , his reactions always were priceless !   and elpis adored each and every single one of them , for they warmed his heart aplenty ! 

     in fact , as erichthonios juggled his arms back with the hope of melting the ice faster , elpis simply couldn’t contain it and let out a hearty chuckle -- this time even bringing both hands on his stomach !

      ❝ i am so sorry , eri ! ❞   he admitted , even though the constant giggling leaving him breathless and bringing his voice on the highest tones made anyone assume that he didn’t truthfully mean it . a finger to wipe away his tears before he approached his adored friend and rested a hand on his back , exactly on where the ice melted . he could feel it through the robe .

     ❝ i think they’re cute , but — ❞   not a single member of the convocation , excluding the emissary and the traveler , would be happy upong finding their seats taken by raccoons ! and their little eyes would not suffice to win their sympathy either , especially lahabrea’s ! but they sure won elidibus’s , who had been wishing to pick one up .

“You assume I brought them here but you have no true proof, I just happened to be the first victim... in fact! I recall a certain someone happily calling in ladies to show your shoulders to the night before they arrived!”
