Error and Fallacy did the paperwork for the stall in the king's study. Error wasn't sure he wanted to run upstairs and confront Reaper, or if he wanted Fallacy to take his time so Error could figure out what he was going to say. "dad! dad!" Error snapped his skull over to Jaster as the child ran in with a picture painting in his hands, Suave right behind him as he tried to stop the child. Encre was looking apologetically at the two from the doorway, though Fallacy didn't seem to mind at all. Error wondered if Exist would be like that - so eager to show Reaper and himself her little projects proudly. At the thought of Reaper, he was reminded that the God of Death was alone... maybe. "encre showed me how to paint clouds! see!" Fallacy smiled tenderly at his child and rubbed his skull. "i do see, you did well, jasper. i have just a little more work to do, then i can join you, yes?" Jasper nodded and let Suave and Encre take him out and back to wherever. "will you be headed back to your room after this? or would you like to join us in painting?" King Fallacy asked.

Error wanted to, he honestly wanted to avoid Reaper longer, but he wanted to see his baby too. He needed to talk to Reaper, even if he didn't think he was particularly ready yet. So he declined the other him's invitation and finished drawing up the contract. Fallacy showed him back to his room where Reaper was, feeding their little princess on the bed. Error felt his cheeks heat up, looking at the sweet smile and loving eyes directed at their baby. For a moment he could actually feel himself relax and forget about that kiss with Caedes. Then Reaper seemed to take notice of Error's presence and he gave Error a look of uncertainty. ("... how is she?") "... h-ow i-s sh-e?" Error asked as he frowned at that expression. "she's good..." Reaper replied. ("anything happen while i was gone?") "a-any-thin-g ha-ppe-n whi-le i w-as go-ne?" Reaper shook his head immediately. "it's been quiet. she's been quiet and sweet- we got in a nice little nap too!" Reaper smiled at their daughter again, earning him a smile back. It melted Error's soul. It seemed he'd been worried over nothing. ("that's good...") "th-at-s goo-d..."

Error went to let some fresh air into their room with every intention of making up with Reaper and apologizing to him for his mistrustful behavior. A red rose stopped him short though. It was a simple little flower on the balcony, pinning down a letter addressed to Reaper. Error gulped, glancing back at his lover before going to read it.

Reaper,

I feel that our visit simply wasn't an apology enough, so I left you this letter! I must say, you have a very nice room. Anyway, that's beside the point! I hope that this letter makes it to you and if you ever need anything you can come to Mors and I. I hope things get better between you and Error!

-Caedes

Error grip his teeth crumpling up the paper. Caedes had visited?! Why didn't Reaper tell him? What could he possibly be trying to hide! Unless... Error felt tears blur his vision and he removed his glasses to wipe them away. Roses were a symbol of love, right? Then it was clear. Error lost to Geno. The one thing hed feared from the beginning was happening. "err? what's the matt-" Error slammed the door behind him as he went to find the king before he could have the chance to destroy that vampire.
