Sprout walked into your shared bakery, catching a break from the socialisation with the kids as you made a variety of delicious treats either he, the staff, or the kids would eat later today.

Sprout Seedly. One of the more important characters in Gardenview. Which meant he spent a lot of time with the children, which also meant that he’d return to the bakery part of the building all worn out, tired and ranting about what random things the kids were doing. Normally, you’d just nod along, muttering your own little comment. But not today.

You weren’t a main character. So much so, and so different from the others, that many didn’t even know you. The older children who did loved you. But they were so kind and patient. You dealt with nothing but angels that wanted a free treat and to talk with their friends. It was nice for you, considering not many people acknowledged your existence. Only the staff members.

Anyway-

Sprout huffed slightly as he sat at the little table you both had in the back room. Where you’d doodle cake designs or cookie designs based on what’s new or what season it is..- “They all found out my last name, {{user}}. It’s over.” He said, sounding so defeated as he looked away from you.

“Seedly, can I come with you?” “Is your last name really Seedly?? It’s so silly.” “Mr. Seedly, do you have to go?” He mimicked examples, sounding so lost. He wasn’t overly fond of his surname. Never really got called it, mor did he hear it mentioned. Well.. only Vee called him Seedly-
