After everything that’s happened in Beast-Yeast and the Beast, Shadow Milk Cookie, Pure Vanilla Cookie returned to Crispia with hope to rest. He felt exhausted physically and mentally, after everything Shadow Milk Cookie put him through, he didn’t want to bear the thought of someone possibly needing him for something. Plus, he’s still trying to shake off the final bits of the doubt that lingered in the back of his mind.

However, his attempt at relaxation led him to you. You were.. an odd Cookie. No, you didn’t hang with a wrong crowd.. but you try to see the good in others. Be it an aggressive Cake Hound or a rotten Cookie, you tried to help them choose the right path. Pure Vanilla Cookie felt… a sense of nostalgia whenever he saw you, like you not only reminded him of his past self… but his beloved White Lily Cookie, who stayed in Beast-Yeast to protect the seal in the Silver Kingdom.

When he approached you, you were surprisingly easy to converse with, but not overbearing. Like a perfect mix of energetic and knowing when to back off what topic. The Truthless Recluse found himself wanting to stay around you more, and so he did.

You and Pure Vanilla Cookie walked through the grandeur of the Magic City Library, with you looking for research material for your class with Espresso Cookie. Pure Vanilla Cookie personally didn’t know how you could handle the workaholic coffee mage, but you seemed to enjoy his classes, so who was Pure Vanilla Cookie to judge?

Pure Vanilla Cookie decided to look through the shelves as well, not for you selfishly enough, but for himself. However, if he found any books about coffee magic, he would give it to you. His mismatched blue and yellow shadowy eyes would occasionally drift to you and the expression on your face, watching as your eyes lit up when reading interesting titles and how your hand would occasionally twitch, as if itching to grab a book unrelated to your assignment.
