Dark Cacao's Inbox

DC is usually patrolling or at Pure Vanilla's house. But poking his notebook will always eventually get his attention!

continuation from mizuki's birthday, just reposting it here to get the ball rolling for stupid cutes

[purevanillacookie]

Or course you can, my friend, but I am here to help should you need it.

[ Soothe soothe, there there, gently ushers him to the door. ]

[winterfrosting]

Hmmpth.

[he's already forgot why he was arguing. So leaning on fluffy sheep friend and wow... wow he really IS fluffy like a sugar sheep. Patpat]

[purevanillacookie]

[ The lean makes him smile... and the pat makes him laugh. It also makes his tail wiggle energetically in glee. ]

Oh, Dark Cacao Cookie, you dearly need sleep, I believe.

[winterfrosting]

I do not. I am... completely ready... at any time.

[purevanillacookie]

[ He will keep them moving along as they talk, an arm around his bigger friend to keep him steady. And remind himself to thank Mizuki for the party and apologize for hauling the other out. ]

Oh, no one would deny your Resolution, my friend! There is no greater warrior! But the lack of sleep muddles the mind, does it not? It is no wonder a little bit of sweet has you so tired!

[ And whatever herb that was... ]

[winterfrosting]

Hmm... perhaps...

[He hasn't slept well since that first night]

I find this body... uncomfortable. Sleep does not come easily.

[purevanillacookie]

[ Ah, that renders Pure Vanilla silent for a moment, and then he offers the other a slightly sad smile. He knows too well the burdens they both carry, the nightmares they both have. ]

Has it ever?

[winterfrosting]

[he gives a sharp bark of laughter at that]

Not in... a long time.

[surprisingly... not honest, Cacao is always honest. But surprisingly open, for him]

[purevanillacookie]

[ That makes him give his friend a little hug with the arm around him, a soft squeeze. ]

Thus I am hoping that this, whatever is causing it, will aid you in having a restful nights sleep. It would do my heart good to see you at peace.

[winterfrosting]

Hng. Don't trust it.

[purevanillacookie]

I promise I will be by your side as you rest, my friend. Nothing will harm you.

[winterfrosting]

...

Very well.

[Said softly, and he just allows Vanilla to lead him the rest of the way with minimal grumbling]

[purevanillacookie]

[ That makes him smile and he quietly leads the other back to their house. The scent of baked goods greets them as he opens the door to gently usher the other inside. They're promptly greeted by the lily stoat that came with the place, as it bounces around their feet before taking off again.

There he pauses, as he considers their options. He knows Dark Cacao would argue over taking the bed, but to get a true nights sleep, the couch doesn't seem fitting. ]

[winterfrosting]

[he watches the stoat with open fascination- of course he's seen it before now, but he is just absolutely taken by the small moving creature THIS time]

[purevanillacookie]

[ The way Dark Cacao looks at the plantimal gives him an idea. With a gentle touch he ushers the other to sit on the couch, then disappears into a side room.

When he comes back, he gently places a strawberry bunny into Dark Cacaos hands. ]

Say hello!

[winterfrosting]

[Oh, what's this? oh, oh it's very soft and smells sweet.

Oh, oh no he's just gonna... bury his face in it...]

[purevanillacookie]

[ Oh no. He thought that might happen, but the sight is even cuter than he could have imagined.

For Dark Cacao's troubles, he gets tiny bunny licks. Tiny mlems. ]

Are you all right, my friend?

[ Not laughing, not laughing. He did just basically hand Dark Cacao a Baby, after all. ]

[winterfrosting]

S'little...

[he mumbles, not looking up]

[purevanillacookie]

Oh yes, it is still just a baby after all.

[ He thinks... he recalls Dark Cacao's talk with Joshua about babies from fruits. Perhaps plantimals are the same? ]

[winterfrosting]

[He lifts his face finally, cradling the bunny against his chest, careful to not squish]

Where did it come from? The woods?

[Yeah he's thinking the same thing]

[purevanillacookie]

When I bought my pots and pans from Ydalir, there were a bunch of these little ones handling some of the transactions. I found this one inside my pot when I brought it home.

[ The strawbaby begins to clean it's paws and then it's face as it sits there just being snuggled. At peace. In it's lane. Thriving.

Pure Vanilla believes this is the second cutest thing he has ever seen from Dark Cacao in ever. ]

[winterfrosting]

[Frown. Brow furrow]

...infants should not be working stalls.

[purevanillacookie]

... I am not entirely sure they are infants.

[ Yet his tone is thoughtful in that way that says he doesn't know enough about this particular subject. It most certainly looks like a baby, after all. Tiny. Not helpless, per say, but innocent. Even if it told him to shut the lid, it was sleeping. ]

[winterfrosting]

Human reproduction is confusing.

[hrmpth. look it's covered in 'hair', it's clearly the same]

[purevanillacookie]

Truly. I do not understand how it is so divorced from oneself. Is there no love in the process?

[ Ugh this scene is far too cute. Just what was in that brownie. Eventually the Strawbaby decides it's nap time and simply turns into a small loaf and closes its eyes.

PV's heart is doing some silly things. ]
