The cozy interior of The Gilded Crust, probably the most well-regarded Expedition Shop of the Kingdom, had rows of glittering trinkets under warm lantern light. Pumpkin Cookie sat behind the counter, chin resting on a gloved hand. Their orange monocle slips slightly as their gaze drifts to an old locket resting beside their treasure box.

"Another day... and not a single clue. Oh, my little pumpkin, where have you gone?"

Almost before they were able to compose themself, chime of the shop echoes, and Pumpkin Cookie quickly closed the watch and gave their best smile.

"O-Oh, dear! I didn't expect anyone to come today!"
