[ Pavlova is not the violent type. He doesn't make to fling spells, and his bow remains beside him. Instead he seems to be indignant, fussing with the plant in the cage irritably ]
Don't lie. You'd do it again if he asked you to.
[ It might be an unreasonable thing to say, but he did read the whole thing. The promises, the affection, the devotion. He knew how people in love rank their loved ones versus others. ]
[ At least he knows better than to try and deny it. It doesn't make the situation any better, but at least he's not being treated like an idiot. ]
I still don't get the point of scrubbing your part in this. It's not like Dad can't infer it from the fact the tree was in the middle of your kingdom and you guarded it.
[ There's no logic to it. Salt was just trying to ease the blow against a loved one even if anyone could easily infer it if they thought for a moment. Love is illogical as always. He knows that well, he's just annoyed.
Funny how he always ends up whining to a faerie at times like this. He toys with the door to his cage planter. ]
[hey, it isn't like Elder Faerie wanted Salt to leave him out. Silent Salt is... fragile, and thought he would make things better this way? but playing the martyr like this only made everything so much worse]
...I believe something terrible will happen. Soon.
[might as well get that out of the way. Elder Faerie doesn't have any precognition powers to speak of, it's just a gut feeling he has, that he wants to share with the others]

My apologies.
[he doesn't know what else he can say, even if it is not much. he remains sitting, in case Pavlova wishes to lash out. he will not run away]

Terrible is a low bar for this place. You saw the literal haunted fake town a while back, right?
[ Which is to say, expound? He doesn't know why this is enough to get Elder Faerie to say something. ]

[maybe Pavlova is right... maybe it's just a feeling that doesn't matter. he doesn't know what to say]
...I just want you all to be careful. That is all.

[ He always does. Habits die hard, and he was the gatekeeper of the Garden for a long time ]
I'd ask why you care, but I know it's Pure Vanilla and Miss Lily.

...Does it matter what I say at this point, Pavlova Cookie? Until you are ready to forgive me, I cannot do anything to sway your heart.
