"It's raining...?"

[mysteryl]

"You look really good today."

Mystery turned her head, slightly surprised upon hearing the sudden voice, but smiled.

"Thanks! It’s nice of you to say so. And how are you?"

[reucrion-deactivated20161026]

"Yes, quite. I arrived 3 days ago in the area. Not really sure where anything is…." it was true. and he had a horrible sense of direction.

[mysteryl]

"Don't worry- I can show you around. The City of Emblem- well, that's what this place is called- is pretty big but if you get used to it, it's fairly easy to maneuver around."

Mystery blinked at the Once-ler, confusion clouding her eyes as she tilted her head, observing the other. "Once-ler, are you okay? You seem sort of different."

Once-ler smiled devilishly at Mystery, and shook his head. “I’m fine, doll, why do you ask?” He adjusted his long green gloves and looked down at Mystery from behind his sparkly goggles.

“‘Did something happen’..” Once-ler scoffed, chuckling. “This happened, doll,” He gestured to the thneed around his neck, grinning like a maniac. “No reason to worry. Unless I’m allergic to money, which I’m sure I’m not, I’ve got nothing to worry about, and neither do you.” He leaned down slightly to Mystery’s height and pulled down his goggles to look over them at Mystery, his cat-like grin widening.

[mysteryl]

"You know what my name is, so please stop calling me that," Mystery said, stepping back. She was suspicious of this side of Once-ler for sure now. What did he mean that the scarf-looking object around his neck caused this? What had happened? That cloth did vaguely remind her of the truffula leaves that she'd seen a couple of times though.

Looking around, she wondered if she could snap him back to his normal form. "Hey, I haven't made cookies, but if you want some I can get a batch in the oven quickly."

[mysteryl]

"You look really good today."

Mystery turned her head, slightly surprised upon hearing the sudden voice, but smiled.

"Thanks! It’s nice of you to say so. And how are you?"

[reucrion-deactivated20161026]

"Most people call me Rae. Such a…mysterious name you have there!" he laughed a little , he hopped it would not offend the young lady.

[mysteryl]

"Already you make a pun." A giggle was emitted from the redhead. "Nice to meet you Rae. Are you new here?" She wondered if he'd be hungry for anything sold in bakeries.

[mysteryl]

"Hey, I haven't seen you around. Are you new here?"

[mysteryl]

"You look really good today."

Mystery turned her head, slightly surprised upon hearing the sudden voice, but smiled.

"Thanks! It’s nice of you to say so. And how are you?"

[reucrion-deactivated20161026]

"I am good miss" He said with a small smile. He liked making people happy even if all he needed was a single word. 

[mysteryl]

Mystery laughed slightly. "Hey, no need for such formalities. You can just call me Mystery if you'd like. So what's your name?" She was liking this person already.

[spelaeus-blog]

Mystery blinked at the Once-ler, confusion clouding her eyes as she tilted her head, observing the other. "Once-ler, are you okay? You seem sort of different."

Once-ler smiled devilishly at Mystery, and shook his head. “I’m fine, doll, why do you ask?” He adjusted his long green gloves and looked down at Mystery from behind his sparkly goggles.

[mysteryl]

"Once-ler, this is not like you at all." Already traces of concern were weaving their way into her voice, and she narrowed her eyes uncertainly towards the other. "Did something happen?"

[mysteryl]

"You look really good today."

Mystery turned her head, slightly surprised upon hearing the sudden voice, but smiled.

"Thanks! It's nice of you to say so. And how are you?"

The bright smile melted off his face, and was replaced with a sympathetic frown. “Mystery, it’s alright, it’s not something you can control.” He said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Offering a smile, he took a step towards Mystery’s house. “Well, then, let’s make some cookies!” He cried restlessly, both trying to get Mystery’s mind of negativity, and genuinely excited for the indulgence of the cookies he had yearned for for quite some time.

[mysteryl]

Mystery perked up considerably. "Yes," she agreed, her visible aqua iris regaining the spark of life that had vanished from there a second ago. "That will be so fun!"

She hurried to her house, practically pulling Once-ler along. "What are we waiting for? You get all the butter and the softer ingredients out, and I'll mix the flour and everything! And let's get a lot of it out- the more we make, the more batches we bake, right?"

She laughed as a leaf suddenly blew into Once-ler's hair.

"Hey, Lavi! I haven't been back in a while, so I'm going to make more vanilla cookies! Want some?"

"Hey, it’s been ages." Lavi gave mystery a brief hug. "Yeah sure!"

[mysteryl]

"Besides that, how have you been? You're right, it has been ages. There's a lot to catch up on!"

[spelaeus-blog]

He groaned, rolling his eyes, but he kept the smirk on his face so it was obvious he was kidding. “Vanilla cookies..?” He sighed, jokingly pouting. “Well, I mean, if we have to…” He chuckled as his bright smile returned back to his face. He was almost jumping with excitement at the thought of vanilla cookies, those of which he hadn’t had in a long time.

[mysteryl]

Mystery tilted her head, itching to get started. "What's keeping us, then?" She gestured towards her house, practically urging Once-ler to come over. "If you want, you can help! We can make the largest batch of all! It'll be just like old times, right?"

At that, a hint of sadness entered her voice and her green eyes got slightly duller. "I'm sorry I didn't come back in a while," she said, pale fingers unconsciously moving to clutch at her black cloak. "I promise to stay this time. There's nothing anyone can do to change my mind."

Once-ler chuckled as he accepted the hug, nodding. “I’m glad to see you!” He felt relaxed and calm after being near Mystery, as he had forgotten how comfortable she made him. He smirked at the subtle hint of the smell of vanilla, and he suddenly realized he was hungry. “Do you wanna grab a bite to eat or something?” He asked, hoping to catch up with Mystery over something as casual as food.

[mysteryl]

"Hm." A hint of slyness crept into Mystery's expression, and she turned, tapping her chin with a finger while never breaking her gaze from Once-ler's. "Yeah, I would like that. What do you say to vanilla cookies?"

She gave a small laugh after that. "I haven't shared those with you in forever. You up for grabbing those to eat?" She tilted her head humorously, knowing how many times she had dumped her treats on him after staying awake all night making them. She was surprised he wasn't tired of it already.
