I liked him a lot in the story! :3 also an extra Polyheirs! (dunno how much people like em so it's separate)

at first I wanted to draw a wholesome interaction in a similar style to moominvalley, since I think herald and fount's relationship would be quite similar to moomin and snufkin's in some ways (I'm not gonna elaborate on that)

but then I remembered that trees are supposed to have shadows, and the style went out the window.

also, I put this aside like 3 times, so you can see full illustrations transitioning into a comic

it's not finished and I was kinda hesitating to upload this bc of the sudden change in the artstyle, the weird angles and the childish chatter were pissing me off, but I already did it.

the next part would be fount (still unbothered by herald's presence) explaining how children's books not only can contain political ideology but also show a lot about the author's mindset (I think none of the virtues actually understood how common cookies saw the world, because they never had the opportunity to be in their shoes, and that's why they never understood what they needed)

then herald would tease him bc 'of course fount is trying to learn about cookies through books' and threatens to eat the cake— finally managing to get Fount to put the book aside, and they'll end up eating the cake together while cuddling

(and sugar of happiness would realise she maybe didn't send the best cookie to convince fount to get his ass off there, but at least she has a nice sight. meanwhile flour of volition... she'd probably be high in the background)
