[ Life's been rough, come hang out at Pure Vanilla's in a blanket fort, which is what the little jot in the journal says. The quest was for loved ones, but Pure Vanilla loves all of them? So, blanket offering.

Literally. ]

Please come visit tonight and spend a moment of rest and relaxation with me, my dears! This month has been rough, and I feel we can all use it.

[ Those who show up will find one side of his Cookie Cottage absolutely turned into the largest blanket fort he can make it. Most of it is made up of wool blankets, but when he ran out of those, he's stolen extra blankets from the Inn, as well as stripped his house of them. Pillows and furs line the ground, and small shards of light that seem almost ethereal litter around the area. Some float in the air like small gleaming prisms, some are attached to the ceiling of the blankets like their own stars, while others sparkle gentle amongst the furs. Touching one for any length of time will make it fade into the person who touched it, and give them a sense of warmth and peace.

And there's food. Lots of it. Drinks too, carefully marked that they will aid you into sleep. Peepaw spent the entire day busy. And a bunch of various things to do to unwind with. Books to read, marshmallows to roast over carefully shielded fire pits (there's little magic circles around them to keep the fires magically going and safe), a record player with various records he borrowed. If you really want to fall asleep, he even had his things to make yarn dragged out, just be sure not to fall asleep mid-spin. And a little telescope or two set up from the School.

It really does look like a school camping trip...

There's also a larger shield around it all, near invisible in the moon and starlight, but it shimmers occasionally. People gathering in one spot is always a prime target, and he's not going to let his loved ones be hurt.

Vanilla will greet every one with a wide, happy smile and a hug. Get loved. ]

Thank you for coming!

[ Oh. The wiggle catches him by surprise, and he makes a noise around his s'more, turning pink but there's a smile on his face.

Give him a second to hastily chew and swallow and try not to die around his s'more, before turning his head to press a sticky kiss into the corner of Vash's mouth. ]

Sounds like a date, my dove.

[ Oh and Vanilla will plan a date, Vash. Candy pizza and root beer again maybe... ]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Aw, Vash is practically glowing. He loves getting the edge on someone, especially after Pure Vanilla's had him on the back foot for so long.

The kiss helps too, of course.]

A date? Promise?

[Oh he looks so excited.]

[purevanillacookie]

Promise.

[ He reaches up to cup his cheek, smiling to that look, ugh, he's adorable. ]

A little picnic, maybe?

[oleaeuropaea]

[He's still holding PV from behind but... somehow manages to give a little finger gun.]

Sounds perfect!

[His voice pitches lower. A little more conspiratorial.]

As long as we end up somewhere private later.

[Aaand he gives a little smooch behind PV's ear.]

[purevanillacookie]

[ The finger gun makes him amused, his expression crinkling as he takes that finger to hold it. No more shooting!

The kiss behind his ear turns him red, and Vash should be very thankful right now that Pure Vanilla isn't a Minotaur at the moment. Or there'd be some hello wiggling. ]

My dear, if you keep that up-

[ His tone is playful and warning and there's a little gremlin look in his eye. ]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Not the hello wiggling!]

Mmm, what's that? Something wrong?

[Pure Vanilla gets a few more kisses, oops! The low laughter in his ear probably isn't helping either.]

[purevanillacookie]

Oh, no! Absolutely not!

[ He takes both of Vash's hands now and raises the flesh one to gently nip the finger, while under the guise of giving him some marshmallows or s'mores or chocolate. ]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Oop, there's another little squeak!]

Hey, c'mon now! You can't be doin' that!

[purevanillacookie]

Doing what?

[ If you're going to play innocent, so is he! ]

Marshmallow?

[ Offers one cutely? ]

[oleaeuropaea]

You can't just - bribe me! You know that, right?

[He says this, and yet he leans down and takes a marshmallow. And also nips Pure Vanilla's fingers in kind while he's at it.]

[purevanillacookie]

[ His turn to look like a sad wet bug. ]

I can't?

[ Sad wet bug trying not to hehe to the finger nip. ]

[oleaeuropaea]

Mm-mm.

[Vash shakes his head. Yes, still with those fingers in his mouth. Omnomnom]

[purevanillacookie]

[ No his FINGERS! They are shaken so aggressively!

Giggles.

No wait, he's sad here.

He pouts and forces his lip to wibble. ]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Aw, Vash finally lets go, in favor of perking up and getting right into Pure Vanilla's face.]

Aww, what's with the face, baby?

[purevanillacookie]

[ He's so glad Vash is playing along. He puts their foreheads together. ]

How am I supposed to get kisses and tease you if I can't bribe you with sugary goods?

[oleaeuropaea]

[He LOVES their silly little games. No one makes him feel more indulged than Pure Vanilla.]

Mmm.... you could try... kisses! And hugs! And affection!

[Give him a second before his face softens.]

And maybe the occasional sugary good.

[purevanillacookie]

Mmm..... I guess.

[ The softening expressions makes his own sweeten into a smile again. ]

Oh good. I love seeing you happy, after all. Kissy?

[oleaeuropaea]

A kissy? For me?!

[Vash puckers his lips and leans in, making the most obnoxious "mwah"s, just as Pure Vanilla had earlier. He is being insufferably loud about it too. Sorry not sorry?]
