(Ame finally spoke, now that both Ame and Fleur are back at the garden.)

It has been a decade and it still stings.

(Ame let out a sigh.)

I'm out of tears to cry. I'm just tired.

(Ame reached out his hands to Fleur.)

You want to rest here? Or do you want to go back to your house?

Can I stay here? For a bit? Please...

[Fleur had to admit it stung a little. Okay, not a little. A lot, actually. Fleur turned to Ame, really hoping nothing showed.]

We've got cake... to eat...? Or stuff... I mean, you also haven't opened the tarot deck...

Fleur?

I'm fine, I think. Reminds me too much of my school days.

Ah, that... I understand.

[Fleur sighed, running a hand through their hair before giving Ame a smile that seemed more a grimace.]

Also, I want to buy you take out! I swear there's this one Indian place that makes a good tandoori, you'll love it.

This is Elizabeth speaking, Elaine is currently having an aneurism as she gave me the phone to do the talking whilst she runs around the bakery to prepare for finding, tagging and finding homes for these cookies.

Whilst it isn't too uncommon for illegal bakeries dump cookies so carelessly to try and reduce their crimes, them dumping legendary cookies and in groups is especially worrisome, not only for the cookies themselves as they in grave danger from the elements but they may also find themselves being hunted by crumb rings to be used for sickening entertainment

We have contacted few of our trusted associates to keep an eye out off any groups of cookies and to bring them here or any trusted bakeries to be rehomed, those that are too distrustful and clearly do not wish to be adopted will be tagged and possibly be taken to a sanctuary to live out their lives as peacefully as they can

I have been planning to come to such forest that you reside in, Do not fret, I am not going to immediately come and grab the group of sugar swans and take them away. Clearly they have found a home in such forest and do not seem to be in particular distress, instead I may ask for their permission to tag them so that if they get lost they could be tracked better

Well. Now what?

(Ame looked at Fleur's house for a moment.)

Oh, I caused this, huh?

(Ame sounds a bit deflated. Hm.)

@legendary-sanctuary

It's fine... I don't mind the flowers anyway. And it's... uh, it was much worse, trust me.

[Fleur slid out of Ame's arms and dusted themself off.]

And uh... i-i'm not sure? I might just pass out o-on the couch... I don't deal with stress well... aha...

Hm. I can make tea if you'd like to join us for a bit, Ame. Unless you'd like to go back home? I suppose your cookies would be interested about, ah, Myren. Transformation through experimentation...

Please don't mention that... hearing t-that makes my nerves fry...

Where did you send us now?

The farmer's market, of course!

Why? Isn't that supposed to be Sunday?

I also just adjusted the day to Sunday!

(People are staring at the sudden Zephyr of Life Wind Archer appearing in the farmer's market. And also Fleur.)

Well, I guess we are here. We can look around. Maybe we can find something useful.

( @fleursflowershop @cluelesscookiefinderarchives )

Oh, for fuck's sake...

[Fleur buried their face into their hands and rubbed their eyes. They just hoped this sudden shift in time didn't freak their cookies out. Please.]

Okay, sure... this may as well happen. Right, I've never really been to a farmer's market before. Let's just hope I can find something nice...

Maybe some clothes? These places usually have a mix of everything.

Hm... honestly, I just want to get new soaps and maybe a cardigan. And Ame needs wing care stuff.

Also, it's a flea market.

Huh?

Flea market. That's where we are, not a farmer's market. Trust me, there's a difference!

(Ame was showing his phone to Fleur.)

It seems that Myren got forced to transform into a human-cookie. Should be heading there after being rescued.

It is probably not great to keep putting my nose into the business of everyone else, but...

Human-cookies are increasing in number again. Need to protect each other...

(The air around Ame shifted slightly, the protective Wind Archer part of Ame can be felt in full.)

[Fleur looked horrified. Wonderful, good to know their newest nightmare is a real thing that can happen.]

Wait, forced transformations can happen? Like, those types?

Oh dear... and a child, too? That's...

Disgusting. Such a thing to force to happen..

[White Lily frowned, eyes narrowing as she looked at Ame's phone as Silent Salt gripped his sword.]

Right, I guess we're all coming then? Truthless, Recluse, Apple, into the bag, please.

Ah, okay!

Hm.

[Fleur scooped the three into their bag, paused, then took the still sleeping Croissant and Sage of Truth out of their pocket and into the bag aswell. Fleur then put White Lily and Silent Salt onto their shoulders.]

R-right... uh, where is the NHCA exactly? In America, obviously, but I have no clue where... it is... uh...

Hm.. let me check.

[White Lily scrolled through her phone, searching for something. Beside her, Fleur shifted uncomfortably.]

Ah, it says New.. Hampshire? I think.

Hey? Have you seen a Sugar Swan anywhere in this area? I can sense one, but I can't seem to find them!

Huh? Well, that's a new Cookie.

[White Lily looked up, staring slightly as she absentmindedly planted a new tulip bulb. Sugar of Happiness drifted happily beside her, lazily looking up.]

Oh, hello there~

Sugar Swan? There's one around about—

[White Lily pointed past the house.]

But didn't you say the cookie is not available to the public? How did one get over here so quickly!?

Zephyros seems happy to see the swan though, and is not flying around with the swan.

Oh sh— I mean uh, please hang on a second

*Sounds of the phone being put down and footsteps walking away was heard*

…..Released…..just today?! ……Oh for….

OOooOooO?

*Sound of Phone being dragged*

Jaws what are you doing?!

OoOoOooo!!

*Sound of Phone being picked up*

Ahem, sorry about that, just had to make sure of something and My cookie Jaws, A shorbet shark took the phone while I was gone,

Anyway. thankfully it seems the cookie is released now by the company, It’s species name is Sugar Swan Cookie, they are a legendary rarity! they seem to have domain over life, in a cookie’s life anyway as they seem have no power over humans.

They are very calm and friendly to everyone but they do have some tension with Dark enchantress and Longan dragons specifically.

They often are accompanied by another newish cookie, a blue slushy as they act as their small bodyguard.

Sphinx—Chimaera!Ame and tiny 5-Year Old Eris!

I have never drawn a 5 year old before, so like...????

Ame should be allowed to look fancy, as a treat! He wears specialised shoes since his feet are talons now. They're padded and have a slight raise to allow him to clutch the shoes. And yes, he has lion paws for hands.

He also gets special privileges, so Ame gets cool eyes.

I'm also tagging my friends so they see this.
