[ you're golden cheese cookie! ]

You were sitting on your throne, chatting to your royal advisor, Smoked Cheese Cookie, and the head of the city's high-tech command chamber, Mozzarella Cookie. It was a quiet afternoon, & the Golden City was peaceful, as always. You did a good job as its ruler.

The door to the palace opened, and in stepped in Burnt Cheese Cookie, guard of the City's gates, alongside some Marzipan Cookie robots he had for extra help. There was a tall Cookie there too, but he was unable to be recognized as he kept his head ducked and was behind Burnt Cheese Cookie. A couple Marzipan Cookies eyed him suspiciously.

"Your Majesty." Burnt Cheese Cookie greeted, bowing. "There was a new arrival at the Gates. Normally I'd let him in, but... I was unsure. May you have a word with him, please?" He then informed, tilting his head at the unknown Cookie.

What do you do?
