Shadow Milk had gone missing.

Okay, well, they knew where he was. Which was, presumably.. in the past.

It was hard to explain.

Something must've happened to mess up the time travel spell, surely. Unfortunately, Black Sapphire nor Candy Apple could exactly tell what happened, just that something had..

And now they were stuck with the Fount of Knowledge. Shadow Milk's past self, the history Master Shadow Milk clouded in mystery so thick not even Candy Apple's pertinacity could break through it.

But now, she had the perfect chance!

Despite Fount's lack of awareness towards the future, he was undoubtedly Shadow Milk underneath those sweet layers of syrup-thick pleasantries. She could feel it!

Ohh, how she longed to see her Master again.. But this earlier version of him would suffice. For now.

... Ugh, could Black Sapphire take any longer getting Master Shadow Milk back?

Oh well. She skipped alongside the pre-corrupted Beast of Deceit (or rather, Virtue of Knowledge), whistling something far too cheery to be appropriate for the situation.

"We'll get you all settled in, Sh- Fount~ KYAhaha!"

She giggled nefariously, raising a gloved hand to the front of her mouth, back up and fingers splayed, a signature rich person laugh. Okay. She was being a bit much. But who cares!
