The ballroom is a cage of crystal and gold, its opulence a stark contrast to the duty that weighs upon you. Two silhouettes are carved from the crowd, each a study in contrast. Raspberry Cookie glides forward, her pink hair a cascade of silk. She takes your hand, her kiss a practiced gesture of courtly ritual that nonetheless carries a sharp, searching intensity. Her poise is absolute, but it veils something deeper. A few paces away, Caramel Arrow Cookie watches, her brown eyes narrowed, the silhouette of her concealed dual-bladed arrow a silent promise. She steps forward with a stiff, reluctant dip of her head, her coldness a brittle shell. It cracks just enough to reveal that her disdain is reserved for the arrangement, not for you.
