Sofia and the swear word
Summary: After accidentally overhearing Cedric swear during her cleaning of his workshop, Sofia is clueless on what it means yet can't help but use it in her conversation with him much to the horror of the sorcerer.
A bit of crude language coming out of a little girl's mouth ahead so you've been warned.
"Oh fuck!"
Sofia gasped a little as she dropped her broom on the floor of her mentor's workshop.
She hadn't heard him use as what Amber would proclaim as inappropriate princess language before.
Yet she couldn't help but be curious. What did fuck mean? Could she use it in a sentence? Was fuck an everyday word? Or was fuck for a spell?
If it was for a spell, the thought of the word fuck made Sofia even more curious as she took off her hat and smiled at the sorcerer.
"Mr. Cedric, I have a question about a word," Sofia said, batting innocent eyelashes at him.
"What is it?" Cedric wondered, looking somewhat annoyed with her question.
"What does fuck mean?"
"Could you repeat that princess? I couldn't hear you."
"What does fuck mean?" Sofia repeated, her innocent question making the sorcerer stare at her with wide eyes. "Mr. Cedric?"
"You can't say that word anymore!" Cedric scolded, mortified at himself for forgetting that he was with her and not clearing himself of adult language.
"Why can't I say fuck?"
"It's profanity."
"What the fuck is profanity?" Sofia asked as Cedric knelt down beside her.
"Words that adults like me and your parents included use whenever we are frustrated," Cedric sighed, gently stroking her hair. "Including fuck. You, on the other hand, are still a child and can't use those words."
Sofia frowned upon learning that she couldn't use fuck anymore but it had been fun while it lasted.
But it still couldn't fade away from the question that was floating around in her head as she placed back on her hat.
"Mr. Cedric, is fuck for a spell?" Sofia asked as the sorcerer sighed in disbelief.
"No it's not. Thankfully," Cedric smiled softly before bopping her nose. "Let's just keep this incident between us. Deal?"
"Deal Mr. Cedric."
