... Pavlova Cookie, have you heard of the Dark Flour War?
( It's a dark part of cookie history, but it's an important part of his conversation all the same. It's... difficult to know what he may or may not know, given the nature of the beasts and what has happened to them. )
( He is not surprised in the least that Dark Enchantress has been in contact with the beast cookies. Pure Vanilla had long since suspected that she would wish to use their powers in some way.
His expression turns grim. )
... Many cookies had crumbled during that time. We had ultimately stopped Dark Enchantress Cookie, however... I have always wished that we could have done so without force.
No matter what happens, I will seek to find another way to solve any problems we may face without bringing harm to anyone. However, I know that there are many times where it may not seem possible.
( He knows that well. He's aware of naive he may sound to others, however. )
[ It sounds like idealistic drivel. It sounds like the logic Eternal Sugar kept people contained with. Not exactly of course, but the idea of living without pain... Pavlova isn't sure such a thing is possible without becoming a prisoner like he has.
He keeps quiet, though. He's sure that's not what Pure Vanilla is thinking. ]
... I think it's fine to have that as long as you know it's not always possible. I think dad would be upset losing you to your own kindness. And Miss Lily would be sad too.
[ And him, but he's still struggling with that. This is a step in the right direction, slow and tentative. ]
My... mother had good intentions, too y'know. She still... doesn't think what she does is wrong.
( White Lily Cookie and Dark Enchantress Cookie both had forewarned him that he would one day get hurt because of his own pain. And yet... it is how he was baked. It's his kindness that's lead him to how his past and present has been shaped.
The conversation shifts to Eternal Sugar Cookie, and Pure Vanilla pauses thoughtfully. )

I dunno about wise, but I've been around for a long time. I may be little but I've seen a lot.

I know the name comes from... how many died in the war, though.
