Ahaha , you flatter me Fount ! I merely wish to learn all that I can .
Conversing so deeply with another is a rare occasion โ I cherish every opportunity I am granted .
I once met a prestigious academy's headmaster , and what a delightful experience it was .
The enthusiasm they answered with for my every question . . suffice to say , they were quite the knowledgeable cookie , hmhm ~ .แ
It was a perfect view to look at the sky . The falling sun and rising moon would be their backdrop for a much needed talk .
She wordlessly offers it a seat , waiting patiently for her friend to open up when the time is right .
One single nod was all that she needed to reply with . The warmth of her tender , caring gaze only left once she began to take the lead .
The Flour , glowing like it's beacon in the dark , moved only as fast as The Fount could follow . She slowed when it slowed .

They could only manage to whisper for now .
The silence that shrouded them was comfortable , meaningful . Whether it was broken or kept intact did not matter .
The Fount could see their endless walk lead them to a cliffside โ two kneeling cushions , a table with tea , and a cherry blossom tree .

โ I pray I have not kept you waiting long , dear friend . โ
Her words have a soothing warmth to them . She descends the stairs to meet it .
โ Let us find somewhere to rest . You can tell me everything after that . โ
Though its mind wrestled with burdening another with problems beyond their domain , The Fount still made the journey here for a reason .
This was her duty โ she pledged devotion to those in need for as long as she exists . There's no such thing as rest .
Not for a friend .

From atop ivory stairs , the moon looked so . . . lost . A terrible storm clouded its view , unable to see the path ahead . In the moon's time of need , who else would offer a guiding light besides the sun .แฃ
No matter the circumstances , the she always smiled at it .

A point to be considered certainly . As much as it saddens me to resort to it , a show of force has its uses .
The bandits that threaten my land and the people I watch over are not easy to convince . It seems nearly futile , but I must try .
... That is IF they are willing to be prudent, there's a reason why we demand generally evil cookies to surrender, here at the academy they teach us to act pretty defensively with most of threats.
Rarely I outright start throwing punches too, or well, attack.
In return , you show them compassion and understanding when they expect none . Every cookie has a story .
Giving them kindness will perhaps enlighten them to more peaceful opinions .
Feeling the impact of weeks of working without sleep ( or any real concern for herself ) she enters her chambers to retire .
As she started her walk , her mind became preoccupied with overthinking caused by such exhaustion .
Were anyone to follow , she'd likely not notice . . .

In a time that was nothing but legend to most , the vibrant sun began to set in the domain of ivory . The air had a tension to it โ an uncertainty of what might transpire in the night .
Their worry was palpable . . . and not entirely unfounded .

That was all it took to liven their spirits . As of late , bandits have been a problem for the pagoda . None of their raids have been successful . . . but . . .
She shakes her head . Everyone was safe . She was doing the right thing .
There was no reason to doubt that .
