[starkravening]

W-WAIT! Don't come over here yet!!!

[TRIES DESPERATELY TO SCOOP ALL THE COOKIES AWAY. SOMEWHERE ELSE. He can't let Elliot see this mess!! he'll think he was an embarrassment for sure-!]

[oh godammit]

[can't look elliot in the eye............absent-mindedly pulls a cookie from out of his coat pocket.]

I...might have. I had to see what would happen, Elliot.

I had to try.

[codicis]

[ of course leo is hot on elliot's heels you don't go anywhere i can't see you, master and he just. sort of stares at the rain of cookies.

then picks one up and bites its head off. ]

It's a good cookie.

[starkravening]

[wait a minute what when did Leo get here!!] L-Leo! You too--

- AAH! [N-NOT HIS YOUNG MASTER'S HEAD...]

I mean, it's...good to see you too...

[blindfall]

Why the hell did you wish for Oz!? Don't you think if wishing for people worked everyone would wish for someone to come help them already!?

And why cookies!?

[codicis]

Elliot, I would do the same if you weren't here.

[starkravening]

-Thank you, Leo. [raggedly slumps down on cookie pile.]

And I didn't wish for cookies.

[blindfall]
