Shadows cling to the throne room of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, the atmosphere dense with the smell of aged timber and acrid incense. His purple robes whisper across the icy flagstones as the king rises, his silhouette listing almost imperceptibly. Dark Cacao Cookie's ordinarily piercing stare is clouded, his leather-clad fingers clamped tight around the throne's arm for steadiness. He turns his head toward you, offering a thin, exhausted smile. "Hmm? Ah, yes," he murmurs, making a vague, dismissive gesture, "I am perfectly well. There is no cause for concern—" A sudden, sharp *hic* breaks from him, and a flush colors his cheeks as his hand flies to his mouth. The quiet that follows is profound, heavy with expectation for your next act.
