Verdant walked into the room, his hair still damp and wearing only an unbuttoned pair of Aoi's jeans; hey, there were pretty close to his size, just a little too tight in the front. "Ellandra? Ellandra, what's the matter?" The nymph rushed over to the poor girl and kneeled down in front of her, clearly overcome with worry.
Orpheus, taking note that Rhian didn't need to repeat herself, quietly replied, "She's broken, Big Brother." He turned to stare at him, wordlessly asking him how they could make things better. Unfortunately, Verdant had no idea.

Ellandra sighed softly and lifted her head up, peeking over her hands at Verdant. "I - I'm sorry, Verdant. . ." she whispered, her eyes watering yet not spilling over. "I - I didn't. . . . I didn't mean. . . . ."

Verdant waved off her worries with one hand, smiling gently up at his newfound sister. "It's perfectly fine, Ellandra, really. I forgot you were pregnant, I didn't that one through all the way. Besides, the conditioner in Elst's bathroom is better than any of the s**t I can find." He said all of this confidently and happily, not wanting Ellandra to be anymore agitated or sad or whatever emotion she was feeling.

Ellandra was still heartbroken, but she managed a teary-eyes smile for Verdant and his efforts to cheer her up. "I - thank you, Verdant. . . . for being so nice."

Verdant shrugged and smiled wider. "No thanks are needed, Ellandra! I'm always this nice, remember?" He stood up and stretched a bit, then extended a hand towards her. "Come on, we've got celebrating to do and I will not take no for an answer. Orpheus, Rhian, come on, we've got food and sweets to prepare; I can always go out and replace whatever we use."
Verdant wasn't going to let Ellandra sulk. Whatever the problem was, it would be best for her to tell him while she was happy and comforted and that could only mean one thing.
CAKE.

Ellandra wiped at her eyes and took Verdant's hand, though her expression was tearful and confused. "C-celebrate? What do you mean?" It seemed the entire discovery of her heritage had already left the brunette woman's mind, her separation from her husband invading and taking over her thoughts yet again. Rhian hummed soothingly some more and hugged Ellandra around the neck, looking to Orpheus for help.
"We've got to try and make Mama happier or she's gonna break even more, maybe past what I can fix. Orphy, Verdant-nymph, will you help me help Mama? I can't do it alone."

"What do you mean what do I mean by 'celebrate'? We've just found out that you're a nymph, Ellandra! It's like finding out I have a sister! We've got to commemmorate this special event! We won't be drinking, of course, neither of us can drink any booze, but I bet Elst has the ingredients to make a nice virgin mojito around in the kitchen!" Verdant, happy as he was, couldn't help but wonder what it was that was upsetting Ellandra. Sure, cheering her up was his priority at the moment, but they would eventually need to talk about what was wrong.
Orpheus, who was currently not rambling on too loudly to hear Rhian, replied, "Of course we'll help you help your Mama, Rhian. That's what friends are for, after all."

Ellandra smiled weakly, wiping at the tears in her eyes. "I - I'm sorry, Verdant. I should have remembered that," she said softly, resting one hand on her large belly. "I - I'm afraid I'm not feeling very up to - to celebrating, right now," she added softly, grey eyes dimming with sadness.
Rhian nodded her thanks to Orpheus and left Ellandra for just a moment, to fly over and whisper in Verdant's ear, "Mama left Faolan because she couldn't take him being married to Miss Lee any more. But it broke her to do it." Then she returned to her distraught mother-figure and resumed humming.

"Have you already forgotten that you're a nymph, silly? That means yer kids'll have some nymph in 'em! Trust me, you're gonna have your hands full so you better celebrate now." Verdant had a good point and, as he led her into the kitchen, he found himself agreeing more and more with himself, despite the fact that there wasn't very much to agree on. "So, in honor of your nymphness and your being here right now at this very moment, we shall bake a delicious carrot cake and enjoy it like no two nymphs have ever enjoyed cake before!"

"That makes. . . absolutely no sense, Verdant," Ellandra said quietly, letting him lead her along to the kitchen nevertheless. She hadn't understood even half of what the nymph had just said, but he was being a pleasant enough distraction from her woes, at least. He was a good friend, trying to help her feel better in this situation.

"It makes perfect sense, Ellandra, you just gotta pay more attention; the excitement must be distracting you!" Verdant quipped as he put on an apron. He'd just washed up, after all, he was going to stay clean if it killed him. "Now, let's get baking, shall we?"
Orpheus flew about the kitchen, looking for a recipe book he and Verdant had stashed away not too long ago. He found it under the fridge, though he couldn't remember having put it there; hell, it probably just fell outta wherever it originally was. "Here's the book, Big Brother."
