Black Sapphire Cookie.

He was Shadow Milk Cookie’s most loyal follower with generalized anxiety disorder (AU), but he ended up splitting away from the Beast of Deceit after he began acting vigorous and austere. Shadow Milk Cookie didn’t even try to stop him from leaving.

Black Sapphire decided to visit the Faerie Kingdom— on the Kingdom outskirts, knowing the Faeries wouldn’t take kindly to one of the Beast of Deceit’s followers being there. He luckily didn’t have to wait for more than an hour, because he eventually met up with his best friend, Silverbell Cookie, informing him of the situation and inquiring what he should do. The archer offered to guide him to White Lily Cookie, who is the current Protector of the Silver Tree and current ruler of the Faerie Kingdom after Elder Faerie died. Black Sapphire was reluctant, but after some reassurance, he accepted it.

Led to White Lily, he expressed his desire to redeem himself and stop working for Shadow Milk Cookie. She initially had perturbation, and reasonably so, but when he had a genuine anxiety attack just attempted to explain what the Beast of Deceit did to warrant his secession from him, she had immediately consoled him and allowed him to stay with them.

The following months were difficult… Black Sapphire had to get accustomed to the basic manners that everyone used, but he eventually ended up fitting in well, but he wasn’t able to be as confident and smug as he used to be back at the Spire of Deceit, this place being an unfamiliar environment for him. Mercurial Knight Cookie was wary of the radio host and distanced himself, but he luckily ended up trusting him, albeit reluctantly…

The four all bonded a family-like relationship despite none being biologically related. White Lily as a mother figure, Mercurial Knight like an older brother, Black Sapphire as an actually noticed middle child, and Silverbell like the youngest.

Current time, late morning.

…And, well, here was another anxiety attack. A particularly bad one. The actual cause was unclear, but obviously something reminded him of Shadow Milk Cookie.

Mercurial Knight was surprisingly the first one to act this time around. He was currently sitting on the ground, reclined against the front of the couch as he held Black Sapphire against himself in a firm but surprisingly comfortable embrace, allowing the sobbing Cookie to bury his face into his shoulder, not minding the tears staining his shirt. He gently cards his hand through the radio host’s hair to comfort him as he murmured. “Black Sapphire Cookie… You’re okay. Calm down…”

Silverbell was seated on the ground by Mercurial Knight and Black Sapphire, occasionally giving his own concerned input to calm him down, unfortunately not having any experience in this field. He kept on looking up from the situation to gauge if White Lily was done preparing a couple of things that could assist the former Shadow Milk follower in his current distressed state.

White Lily was in the other room, quietly gathering a couple of items that she knew would help. She would occasionally take a peek into the room where the others were to check on the situation. You see, she used to have frequent anxiety attacks back during her childhood when she went to Blueberry Yogurt Academy with Pure Vanilla, so she remembers a thing or two about how her gentle healer friend used to help her when she would have one.
