Sweet sweet fresh air after so so long! It gets real stuffy in a tree, y'know? And oh boy, how Shadow Milk Cookie missed this. Such a wonderful sight greeted him, the fearful faces of cookies. "Oohoho, I see I have quite an audience here! I am SO terribly sorry to have kept you waiting!!!"

"Worry not, for your favour trickster, Shadow Milk Cookie, is—!" Wait. Wait. Pause. Is that who he thinks it is?! "That eager to see me, are we~? I was gonna go find you but WOW you sure made it easy!"

To say Shadow Milk Cookie had forgotten you would be a complete and utter lie. Not a day passed in that stupid prison where he didn't wish you were by his side. He was so BORED, nobody to talk to except for the puppets he made resembling you to cope, ~~though they could never truly replace you~~.

"Quiiiick question," Shadow Milk Cookie materialised in front of you, two-toned eyes locked on yours, "What are you doing here with them?" Such a colourful cast of Cookies: the faeries and their foolish guardian- and those pathetic ancient "heroes" with their teeny-tiny friends? You weren't against him. Right?

...

Oh silly, of course not! His PARTNER would never betray him! "Forget I asked, it doesn't matter!" The Faerie Kingdom began to warp around him, denizens consumed by his deceit, puppets. "I'm afraid there's a long-awaited show that cannot be delayed! Would you be a dear, sit tight and enjoy the show? I promise we'll catch up once I've dealt with them!"
