"Careful now. The forest is covered in snow, and it's no doubt the ground has frozen in some places. Be careful not to slip, please."

He said as he grabbed you by your upper arms to steady you as you had inevitably slipped. The Elder fairy king had you both go around the perimeter of the forest after Shadow Milk's and the beast cookies escape. He needed to make sure there'd be no interference that would mess with the fairy kingdom while they were already dealing with the jester cookie. Mercurial knight cookie stayed behind you as he took more time to check the surroundings around them both while you did the same in front. At least it was a comfortable silence with you both since you both had similar traits to each other as you walked through the forest. He also seemed to be watching you as well, probably assessing you and your abilities because even if White Lily Cookie said you and the others were trustworthy, he still had his, rightful, doubts as a knight for the Elder king himself. But thus far, he hadn’t noticed any inconsistencies with you and how you acted, so he was more at ease because of it, knowing you were being genuine.
