My Dad Macaque

Chapter 3: Questions, Questions, and More Questions

3rd POV:

Macaque brought Lavender downstairs and into the kitchen, since he didn't know when was the last time she ate something. He picked her up, she was surprisingly light, and put her on a stool next to the kitchen island. "Okay, kiddo, what do you want to eat?" Macaque asked.

Lavender looked around before jumping down from the stool and walking towards the fridge. 

Looking into the fridge, Lavender grabbed eggs and bacon. She took said items and put them on the spot that she had been sitting. 

Lavender looked around and saw the bread was on a shelf. She walked over to the shelf and pointed at it, saying she wanted the bread. Macaque chuckled as he grabbed Lavender the ✨GlUtEn✨ that she desired. 

Once it was in Lavender's hands she giggled, cutely. (Evilly >:> )

She went over to the stove and put a pan on the stovetop. Lavender cut a hole in the middle of the bread, cracked an egg and put it in the middle hole, seasoned it, and put 2 pieces of bacon on the side. Once the sides were done cooking she flipped them. 

Lavender did this process a total of three times, there were 3 egg-in-a-frames and 6 pieces of bacon. She put 1 egg-in-a-frame and 2 pieces of bacon on one plate then 2 egg-a-frames and 4 pieces of bacon on the other. Lavender put the plates on the table with two forks and two cups, a cup of orange juice and a cup of coffee.

Macaque was pretty impressed, to say the least. I mean a small demon, that was barely able to reach the counter, cooked a whole breakfast. 

As Macaque and Lavender sat down, he coughed getting her attention. "Okay kid, If you want to stay here, you're gonna have to answer some of my questions." He stated firmly, getting the point across. Lavender nodded but didn't speak. "Okay, Good. And to make you feel more secure, i'll answer the questions I ask." Macaque thought if she had to give him information then he should do the same.

"Let's start simple. . . Who are you? I am The Six Eared Macaque also known as Liu er Mihou." 
"Lavender Kaen or Xūnyīcǎo Kǎ ēn. . ." Macaque felt that name was even more familiar.

"What are you? I am a Demon Shadow Monkey."
"Ender and Soulbell Demon Mix. . ." 

"How old are you? I am over 6 thousand years old?" He wasn't sure how old he was himself since he never kept track, Lavender thought it was a little suspicious but complied.
"216 human years. . .8 demon years. . ."

Now Macaque had some more serious questions to ask her that he wouldn't be able to answer. "How did you get here? Why?" 
"My magic went out of control and I teleported to anywhere that would be calmer and safer than where I was. . ." Lavender looked down at her lap as she held her cup of orange juice.

"Do you have parents? Where are they? And who are they?"
Lavender nodded at the first question but didn't answer the other two, which Macaque was okay with. 

"Do you want to go home?"
"no. . ."

"Would- would you like to stay here?"
"Yes. . ."

Macaque sighed as he processed what he had learned. He wanted to know more but he didn't want to overstimulate the girl. He looked at her as he thought of more 'kid friendly' questions to ask Lavender, to calm her down and to learn more about her.

"You're not much of a talker are you?" He asked with a small grin on his face. Lavender looked back up at him with a blank expression. "Only if I need to and its terse." She stated.

"Do you have any favorite colors? Mine are Purple, Red, and Black." He spoke in a gentle tone with his hand on his chest gesturing to himself as he slowly gestured it towards her. Waiting for her to respond. Lavender blushed slightly, "I- I would have to say Purple and Black."

"Do you have any favorite foods, or snacks? I love mangoes and plums, but not so much peaches." He listed with a chuckle. Lavender hummed for a moment, ". . .Peaches, Chinese food, and spicy food."

"Interesting. . . Do you have any hobbies?" 
"Reading, art, cooking or baking, shopping, and quiet or warm places. I like the rain and the night. . . "

". . .What do you like?" She asked in a solemn yet interested tone. "M-me! Well I like manipulating my shadows, training, sleeping, and I like the warm and quiet places things that you said."  Macaque rambled. He didn't really expect her to ask him questions like that back but he wasn't against it. She nodded appreciating his response.

"Do you like music?" She asked again. The thought made him shiver slightly, "Well, I'm not the most. . . appreciative when it comes to music, but as long as it's calm and quiet I don't mind it. Do you like any?" Lavender nodded again, "I do but I've never found any I like, I'm only allowed to listen to fancy and classical." 

'Allowed? What does that mean?' Macaque asked to himself. 'What kind of parents does she have?' He asked again. 

They stopped talking for a while, thinking in or about their own quandaries and thoughts. Macaque felt as though he knew the child before him but can't help but feel he doesn't.
