Well, maybe I know them already? Who are you apologizing to?

[ he lets out a soft sigh and shifts in his seat as he holds out his hands. One by one counting them on his fingers. ]

Cloche, Machina, Auron, Jecht, Ignis, Noctis, Demyx, Ventus, Xion, Chloe, Jill, Sheena, and... Sora.

[ The kitchen starts to get a cold chill. ]

Oh dear... Squall sweetie... [She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a hug.]

What am I going to do with you?

[ He flinches again, but he doesn't pull away. He just sits there with his hands in his lap with a frown on his face. ]

The fog that was in town... it really had a negative affect on me. But it's no excuse. What I said and did... it's inexcusable.

[She gently tilts his chin up.]

Is it? So not under the effects, would you say or do those things now?

[She presses her forehead to his.]

Let me ask you a different question. If Sora was overtaken by darkness or this island and you let him hurt you, would you blame him?

[ With their faces so close, squall darts his eyes to the side, looking a little more embarrassed. ]

He already did once and I told him I wasn't mad at him about it... I was mad at myself that I wasn't able to stop him... but that's different. He didn't say anything, he was just... acting on instincts. I actively said... terrible things to them... to Sora especially...

I'm not saying you shouldn't apologize, but I am saying you shouldn't blame yourself. If you meant any of those things you wouldn't be trying to apologize for it, now would you. People don't apologize for things that they mean.

Are you going to forgive yourself, I wonder?

I'll be more willing to try when i make up with everyone...

[ His eyes slowly move to look at Snow white once more. ]

You're avoiding it but I'll let it go because of your eye. Don't think I won't come back to that subject, though, Squall.

But, alright, to start, Chloe's favorite is blackberry pie, Sora's is strawberry shortcake, Jill likes a blueberry tart, Demyx likes strawberry pies. Mnn, perhaps you should write this down, or I should what with your eye.

Sorry... I wasn't trying to avoid anything... What did you want me to answer...?

[ He gently pulls away from her for a moment to pull a small little note book out of his pocket and starts jotting down the information. ]

[She gently shook her head.]

As I said, I'll let it go for now. Ventus likes anything with chocolate, but if you want to stick to fruit, he also likes strawberries, Sheena likes anything with pineapple, Noctis likes butter cookies, Machina doesn't like sweets, he likes my shepherd's pie.

I'm afraid I don't have any idea what Cloche, Auron, Jecht, Ignis, or Xion would like. But I hope this helps, at least?

[ He continues jotting down the information she was giving him, at least out of those she knew the answer to. ]

It does a lot... thank you Snow.

Do you need help making all this, Squall? Or do you already know how?

I don't... want you to do all the work, but if... you wouldn't mind helping me, I would appreciate it.

When have I ever been unwilling to help you, Squall? I've not abandoned you before, and I'm not about to now.

No, I... I didn't think you were going to. I just meant it's okay if you have other things to do, but I also... don't mind the help.

Well I do have other things but I always have time for you.

Thank you, Snow... I really do appreciate it.

[ For the first time since coming over, Squall decides to be a little more friendly, gently nudging her forehead with his own, like a cat might do to be affectionate. ]

[She pressed a kiss to his forehead.]

We'll have to find some way to get those other people, but for now, let's focus on the ones we do know, each of those are going to take some time... well unless we make cookies with their favorite fruit as jam centers.

[ He avoids looking her in the eye again, but he doesn't pull away. ]

That might be a good idea... Something like a lighter snack...

Well, you're in luck that I know a recipe for strawberry shortcake cookies. We'll start with those for you and Sora.

[ The moment she mentions Sora, the whole room gets a sudden chill to it and Squall visibly frowns. ]

Alright...

Do you want to start now, or are you still feeling dizzy from your eye?

It's fine. I'm not feeling dizzy or anything... It happened a few days ago after all...

Well, alright, we'll need to get all the fruits to make the jams and jellies, I don't have any of the fillings here, though we can go to my bakery and I have plenty there if you want?
