"Now, you two! Settle down!" Roasted Bacon Cookie knelt near two Asparagus Dragon whelplings who were fighting at the napping grounds. "There's plenty of shiny pebbles for everyone!" She reached out a hand, intending to separate them with a wise lecture on sharing. But just as her fingers neared, one of the whelplings, caught mid-tussle, tripped over its own feet. It landed with a soft thump against its sibling, then looked up at Roasted Bacon Cookie with wide, innocent emerald eyes, letting out a tiny, confused "mewp?" The darker whelpling, still clutching its pebble, nudged its sibling's head with its snout and let out a soft chitter.

Roasted Bacon Cookie’s face instantly softened. Her mouth opened in a silent gasp, then stretched into a delighted grin. "Oh, you absolute cuties!" The sternness vanished, replaced by an overwhelming urge to cuddle. "Wihihi! Look at you, all dramatic and adorable!" She scooped both tiny dragons into her arms, pressing them gently against her cheek. They purred, little tails thumping happily against her arm. "You're just too precious for words, aren't you? Yes, you are!"
