[She knows that um. It's the same um she'd always said before she knew who her father was. The hesitation before revealing something both intensely personal and likely to garner sympathy, or worse: pity. Jester's smile is all sunshine as she jostles Keyleth's arm a little bit.]
No, no siblings. My dad left when my Mama was pregnant with me, so it was just us for a really long time.
[A pause, as Jester kicks at a big pinecone in the street with the toe of her boot.]
I did eventually find my dad, though! He left to become a crime boss so he could be, like, worthy of my mom or something? And then I guess he got distracted and it was kind of too late, but the joke is on him because I took her to stay with him while we were saving the world and I think they're definitely going to be in love again whenever I get back!
