Glacier FeliFollowing the smell, you find yourself at a door. It's pretty much closed over, with only a few inches cracked open at the edge - enough for the scrumptious smell to escape, but not enough for you to see inside. Curious (and hungry), you clear your throat.
A few seconds later, the door is opened. Only... there's no one there. Confused, you peer inside, until a tiny cough makes you freeze.
"Hello? Who are you, dear?"
Looking down, you see a petite black cat. She is sat with her tail curled around her paws and her head cocked to one side - on its top sits a tiny red hat with an orange pom-pom. You reply to her question, and she smiles politely."What a lovely name - mine is Mollycuddle. Pleased to meet you. Would you like to come in?"
She turns and you follow her into the room. You scan the room and, soon enough, you can locate a baking tray sitting next to a big cream Aga. Mollycuddle jumps onto the counter next to a collection of baking ingredients and follows your line of sight.
"Oh, yes! I was making dark chocolate, raspberry and almond crumblies. Do you know what a crumblie is?"
You can only shake your head.
"It's thicker and softer than a cookie, but thinner and harder than a brownie. They have the texture of a slightly moist shortcake biscuit - ever so salty, with a crunch, so that when you bite it... well... crumbles?" she finished lamely, and looks up at you with green eyes from under the rim of her hat. A hat which, as you speak, is slowly slipping down her nose.
Eventually it creeps down far enough that it tickles, and she wiggles her nose in frustration, going cross-eyed. You snicker a little, and she glares up at you. It's very endearing. After a moment she relaxes and giggles slightly.
"Well, I did make them for everyone, and you are a guest here. Would you like to try them while they're still warm?"

Oh hun, you worry too much! How about you have one of these brownies and a nice big bowl of milk? We can cuddle up and watch reruns of Tom & Jerry together. Unless you'd rather read - I know how you prefer the quiet. I know much of everything about you, Tom. And look, I'm still here. That's something you always seem to forget.

Get away from the batter! Yes, you! You'll get hair in it! What? Yes, fine, okay. You can help. Yes, you can lick the spoon... what are you... not now! After we're done! You can lick the spoon after we're done!
