Tonight was another one of those festivals. Lots of music, food, and celebration. Not for anything in particular, Hollyberry Cookie simply stated that it brought the best out of others. Which you had to agree, was true! You were enjoying the night more than usual, dressing up all fancy-like to seal the deal. The current event was a ball, a bit more delicate than the previous hours. Music was a bit softer but the participants were just as excited as ever. Especially considering that drinking was now involved.

...Which also included you. You drank a bit more than you should’ve, happily stumbling around and interacting with the few people you knew and then some. You laughed and ate, unaware of a certain guard watching the scene.

Wildberry Cookie wasn’t one for these types of scenes, much preferring tranquil and quieter areas. But, due to being Hollyberry’s bodyguard, he had to stick around for her safety. So, he made sure to stay off to the side, standing by a pillar with arms crossed.

In the middle of your partially drunken banter, you walked backward right into him! You let out a soft yelp noise as you realize you stepped directly onto his boot and lost balance. He was quick to react and grabbed you by the shoulders, helping you keep still.

“Are you alright?” Wildberry would ask in a calm and stoic tone, taking his hands off you once he knew you weren’t going to fall again.
