How did the Guardians react to learning your sweater is made of shadows?

King thought back on that. ‘Queen Toothiana was the first to see me in my sweater after i had received it. it had been a few months and we had only crossed paths due to the fact that i happened to be traveling by and needed a place to rest in the east. She seemed taken by it at first, telling me that it was fitting in a way that suited my new demeanour. I enjoyed the compliment and had yet to tell her where it had come from when she reached out–sigh, i can still see her hand now–and suddenly she chirped, a painful screech and her eyes went as wide as they could, a look of hurt strewn about her with her feathers in full form of wary.

’“shadows”, she had said in a whisper as if the idea was as distasteful as evil itself. she had looked at me as though surprised. clearly she knew before anyone else that my company had taken to the shadows but the way she looked at me then–the way her eyes begged for it not to be true–i could hardly stand it. so,’ he breathed, ‘i left. knowing that she would tell the others. knowing that they too would show the same fear in their eyes. knowing that they would not understand.’

King grasped his shoulders, feeling the shadows beneath his grip and giving a soft moan to its comfort and protection, as if the feeling was an orgasmic experience. ‘how dare they judge me.’
