Cracks knuckles. Time to summarize the dentist clinic scene.
⚠️ Warning in game spoilers for book 7 chapter 80.
I know most game fans of Twisted Wonderland probably have seen that chapter but imma leave it just in case for newer twst fans.
This takes place a day or so after chapter one. Whitecourt has arrived at the dentist clinic in Briar Valley, more specifically the one Sebek's father works at. There she goes to ask the staff at front desk if this clinic would be willing to display some of her flyers of Aria and Red. The employee bolts off with the flyers saying they be right back as they recognized Lilia as Red. Whitecourt hasn't realized Red was recognized by this employee. Whitecourt waits in the longue till Sebek's father shows up asking for her.
Now the interaction between Whitecourt and Sebek's father is where. This is when our chapter 2 summary deviates from chapter 1.5, which is a draft/outdated version of chapter 2.
You see in the draft Whitecourt and Sebek's father chat in the lounge/waiting room.
Instead of that happening Sebek's father, the dentist leds Whitecourt further into the clinic for teeth cleaning despite not having an appointment. During this they do make time to chat about the people Whitecourt is looking for. I'm not sure what changes in I wanna do for the dentist in this scene. Like do I wanna change how I describe his appearance, make him less nervous or more friendly. Regardless he still will be kind person who wants to help Whitecourt out. He probably sympathizes with Whitecourt's predicament, as a father himself.
The outcome remains the same, the dentist will take some flyers of Aria and have them displayed at the clinic. He also does inform her about recognizing Red as possibly being Lilia before Whitecourt could leave. He also gives her directions to Lilia's cottage.
Sebek's father is also wondering if Aria really is Lilia's biological daughter but doesn't say these thoughts out loud.
Whitecourt tries to at least pay for the teeth cleaning before leaving. When she leaves the dentist clinic Whitecourt does bump into Baur on the way out and keeps walking away.
Now as for the brief paragraph of Baur and Sebek's father in chapter 1.5....
Baur doesn't argue or stop his son-in-law from displaying the Aria posters. He still doesn't trust Whitecourt and is a little upset son-in-law just informed her about Lilia and even told her where he lives!
Baur is in denial that Lilia had started to try walking alongside humans as their neighbors and not as enemies before adopting Silver. Especially to the point of somehow having a biological daughter around/tad older than Silver.
It still is Silver who is the first human Lilia truly starts to love and care for humans. Lilia wasn't really that deeply emotional for Whitecourt, he dated her on a whim to make his vacation trip to the Queendom of Roses more interesting, chaotic, and fun.
Lilia was trying to see humans not as enemies during that trip but didn't fully care for any human until he found and took Silver home.
I also feel like this line in Twisted Wonderland videogame book 7 chapter 80, "but am I truly capable of loving a human...?" hits different knowing he did try and fail to love Whitecourt albeit half-heartedly less than a year prior to finding Silver.
Anyways back to Baul xD
He does feel some sympathy for Whitecourt & Aria. He would be beside himself if any of his grandchildren went missing. So, he does hope Aria wasn't in Briar Valley after all, for it was very far from a safe place for a half fae to go missing.
So yeah, that's chapter 2.
I summarize it because I just don't feel up trying to write the dentist teeth cleaning scene, but it would be more accurate and better to be canon than the draft I posted (chapter 1.5) of the dentist scene.
Hope this summary and chapter 1.5 is satisfactory enough cause I rather move onto the next chapter/scene and not dwell on this dentist scene much longer 😅
Chapter 3 is still wip at the moment and I will try getting back to it as I really want to continue writing this fanfic it's been such a delight! :D
