“♫♪!!” it seems Doughael has a friend to sing along with, should they be in the mood for hymnals. Mininilla seemed unaware of the danger, though the tiny sunbeam smile was more than enough to ( hopefully ) prevent a catastrophe. “𝄞?” Was Doughael looking for something??
Their days inside the isolation chamber were lonely. The only cookies they had for company were Espresso Cookie, who was more focused on research and collecting samples, and Madeleine Cookie, who was generally kinder company… there was only so much one could take of Madeleine Cookie.
They also had little to do to entertain themselves. There was a television, but Doughael couldn't really watch it much. It was just noise.
But they did still love to sing - even if the hymns tasted bitter these days. So when they found their lonely singing accompanied, they were more than a little surprised.
They reached for where he sound had come from, grasping the tiny cookie gently around the middle with their soft dough-coated hands, “Where have you come from? How did you find yourself here? What are you?”
They expected their dough to engulf the little thing, but nothing of the sort happened. It sat in their grasp unharmed.
A blessing. Something to help them endure the isolation.
They placed the little one on the bed next to them. This little creature was theirs now.
