"Oh, good, you met Fever too." He is a very well-connected baker, apparently.
"She was probably talking about Erik." The slight wince comes before he can think to catch himself because... oh, right. Erik. "He um... listen, when I tell you this you also have to promise not to scream, okay?" He's not giving her time to refuse, for the record. "Erik was my master, at home, before here. But he's changed. He is fine. He's my family and we've long since made amends about it all. Okay? No going and picking fights with him about it, because I don't want that." (Somewhere, Erik hears his name spoken in the same conversation with Erin Peters and he feels his butthole clench spontaneously.)
"It's... I know, it's hard to understand. But people can change. Erin did, Erik has, and I believe in giving people a chance to become better. But, I still think if she were here, Erin would probably say you hating her is fair. For whatever that's worth to you. It's not to late for any of us--not here."
