(CW: Mention of controlling and alcoholic parent)
Dextur got to know Averie's boyfriend several weeks ago. He already grew fond of the cyan grumpus, with his kindhearted and welcoming attitude. Yet...this reminded him of a good friend of his...and it was best to finally tell more about the shared history.
One day the brown grumpus approached Filbo and invited him for a long talk, along with his child, and all three sat down in the living room.
---
"Wait...YOU KNOW MY MOTHER?!" was the first thing Filbo exclaimed after Dextur told the name of Minette. The middle-aged grumpus nodded, then took an album with him, sitting back down on his spot. "Unbelievable, but true...I kno...knew your mother, boy." He then proceeded to open a page, where three grumplings were seen. One was Dextur, where he still got his right eye, a blue grumpling and a seafoam coloured one.
"That's...that's her..." the cyan grumpus gasped, as he pointed at the seafoam grumpling. "This is my mother...and..." Dextur saw how the purple eyes of Filbo clouded when his paw moved to the blue grumpling. "My...sire..." the cheerful tone strayed to being not amused. Dextur sighed. "Toka..." He placed a paw on the cyan grump's shoulder. "Toka used to be much more different than...honestly, I don't remember what happened to him after I saw him...last time..." the brown grumpus let go of Filbo, discovering Averie's expression being worried as they slid closer to their boyfriend.
"I knew both of them." Dextur decided to tell the story. "Minette and I knew each other since we were small. We...were childhood friends...and close friends too." he pointed to the orbs the two grumplings were wearing. "Orbs were a tradition within the Flickersnap family. If you feel close to someone, then you create matching orbs as a sign that you have a deep connection. It's not exclusive to romantic partners...this can also count for best friends or siblings. Minette and I wore matching orbs...just like you two do. Only that we were best friends."
"And...what about you and Toka, dad?" Averie asked curiously, of course making sure first if Filbo was okay hearing all about this. Given from his previous expression it seemed that he and his father didn't have...the best relationship. "You're fine to tell." the cyan grumpus nodded to Dextur. "I...really can't believe he was...a different grumpus as a child. I...may as well hear a version of him where he was less...controlling...and pressuring..."
Filbo quickly got hugged by his partner to comfort him, once Averie realized that he was shaking. This...worries Dextur...and intensifies his guilt for not listening to Minette to this day. Did Toka really drifted off that badly?
---
Some time passed and Dextur prepared tea for the two grumpuses, proceeding to continue going through the album after making sure Filbo was feeling confortable enough.
"Alright...how about I tell you the whole story...up until the point where our paths seperated?" the brown grumpus asked one more time to make sure it was okay to tell. Averie nodded, and so did Filbo, after hesitating for a moment.

My story, as well Minette's and Toka's, began in a small town, eastwards from New Grump City. I always dreamed of becoming a figure skater, and so did Toka. We skated every day together and usually Minette was tagging along to watch us. She...lost sight on her left eye after having an infection during her sixth year of life. However...Minette was always an optimistic grumpus who made the best out of the worst.
My parents...they tried their best to support me, but...when my own mother passed away, when I was ten, things turned sour. My father would start drinking...and I had to fend for myself mostly. However, I still got friends who looked after me, as well Minette's moms who would let me stay the night when my father got drunk.
During my early teens a scout had discovered my talent for ice skating, and I was starting to take part in tournaments in the junior class. To my joy and surprise, Toka would skate in the same league. There we became rivals, always striving to be better than the other...and still we managed to keep our friendship in good shape. The years of school and ice skating went by. I spent a lot of time with Toka and Minette. While Toka would study elsewhere, Minette and I went to the same middle school and high school.
During my high school years, something...special happened.
I got to meet the grumpus who stole my heart over time...and...who probably was the best thing that could happen to me...
---
I'm gonna stating again that the following backstory of Filbo and his parents are Headcanons. These are not canon to the games.
I just want to be safe than sorry and put this here.
Say hello to two new characters. And we finally find out the name of the seafoam grumpus from the previous drawing.
