"Okay. I can do that… But, I just have to ask first," Nelphy blurted. "I don't need a detailed answer this second, but I need to know. Can I ask about how you and Mom got together?"
"... I was expecting that question…" Sighing, Bil took the meat out of the oven to rest. "Did you see the play?"
"Yeah."
"... I'm going to say something. This will not change how I answer your questions, but I think this will help you understand why I never let you attend Conqueror Day growing up…"
Bil shook his head and made sure he was breathing normally. "... Personally, Conqueror Day is my least favorite day of the year. I avoided it not because I wanted to hide it from you, but because… I don't… I don't react well to everything the public does and presents on Conqueror Day.
"I already know about your chat with Hath," added Bil, getting a strange look from Nelphy. "I'm not mad at all. Nothing he mentioned was really a secret, apart from the bit about Falix and me in prison…"
