His words made the stone cold heart of Jester feel warm for a split second . . . Purple eyes opened wide at the soft, gentle contact, and the kind words . . .

Taking a soft breath to collect herself, Jester would brush his hair back slowly while speaking softly .

He in a way felt like crying but in a good way . .
“ . . I truly love every version of you . . “ he let out a sigh .

His hand moved to take a hold of her lower leg kinda just being clingy .

“ I trust you . . Even if you take control over me . I know you’d never do anything-

slightly, at least nobody got hurt . . . Though she had to admit, the idea was pretty original, but had poor planning .

❝ I'm sure there's other ways we can handle waiting in line . . . Don't concern yourself with so many things at once, okay ? ❞

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Listening to Columbina explain their little trick, Jester let out a soft sigh and folded her arms underneath her chest, her purple eyes glimmering lightly under the dim tent lights.

❝ That could have been a hazard for the visitors . . . ❞

She reminded before she'd shrug

" 𝐈 must shoulder some of it, the idea was mine, after all —— 𝐈 goaded Pierrot into participating with me, " Columbina informed, the shame visibly lingering despite Jester’s kind reassurance. " It was meant to be a simple trick. 𝐈 brought one of my party cannons and

Jester whispered softly now, watching as he nuzzled into her further, like he was seeking her warmth . . . How adorable .

It was no surprise her other version fell for him . He was more than he thought he was .

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Merely running her fingers through the other's hair, she'd observe the sight of him so calm across her lap . . .

A small smile appeared across her lips at his words, but she didn't really say anything back to that . But she'd remember that .

❝ You can trust me, Dual . ❞

“ I’m okay just . . . Frustrated I think . “
He sighed shutting his eyes .

“ thank you though . . For . . Listening . . When I was only here to help you out originally . “
He nuzzled his cheek against her knee a bit .

She’s not his but he still truly cares for every-

She reminded, knowing of the lady's tendency to always make sure others weren't in trouble . Despite being one of the youngest monsters there, Jester knew everything about everyone here .

❝ So tell me, what was the trick you two wanted to achieve ? Perhaps I could help . ❞

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Stepping away from her desk, Jester would find herself standing right before Columbina . The height difference helped elevate Jester's role here, as she observed her before she spoke .

❝ I merely called you here because I knew you'd feel bad and try to take the blame . ❞

The lady in pink freezes in her pantomiming, simultaneously putting her hands down and clearing her throat, " Yes, Mistress, 𝐈 understand. But if the matter was dealt with —— pray tell —— what did you call me for? " Though not completely relieved, she would approach the

❝ Just relax . . . Don't think about this too much . . . ❞

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Purple eyes observe the other as he lowered his head on her knee . . .
Her hand found place against his head, carefully laying it down on her lap before her clawed fingers gently brushed his hair .

❝ Shhh . . . ❞

Making sure he was comfortable, she'd then try to focus

He actually moved a bit and set his head against the others knee . . She could put her hand on his shoulder if she wanted too .

“ . . . But . . Doesn’t give me the chance to . . Have my own . . Child . “ he sighed . .

He always thought about that but never put two and -

on making sure he calmed down, even if it meant he'd fall asleep on her lap again .

She didn't want Dual to feel so down, and let this get to him . For whatever reason, she hated seeing him feel down . . . She felt the urge to fight whatever force was mocking him

She spoke in her usual, stern but calm tone while her eyes remained on the rosé lady before her . Columbina seemed like the nicest out of them all, which is why Jester wasn't mad right now .

❝ But you need to be reminded of the rules here . . . Machines are no playthings . ❞

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Tending to paperwork within the private abode of her purple tent, her purple orbs glimmered in the dim light when the tent canvas opened to show Columbina entering . Settling the papers aside, Jester would observe her pantomiming gesture, and the way she frantically tried to

" You wanted to see me, Madame Jester (@PUPP3TSTRINGS)? " The voice of the lady in rosé resounds through the purple tent. Light peeks in when she enters, though it’s quick to fade once she pulls its curtains back together. " If this is about the cotton candy incident with

[𝕵 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑬 𝑹 @PUPP3TSTRINGS]

Observing his father vulnerable state, Jester felt both proud and softened at the sight . It meant Dual trusted her, but also showed his emotions .

She didn't want to touch him without permission, so she glanced towards his eyes, reaching her hand out as if she'd

He stared at her . . . Before he looked away with a soft sigh .

He twiddled his thumbs a-

❝ I am the same . . . Which is why you can rest assured that that is also a valid option . Just like how you have the right to not have children at all . ❞

Jester's expression softened a bit,
