[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?

Ah... sure. Just lead the way and I'll do as you instruct...

Well, then let's head to the bakery, there will be more room to work with there. Come along then, you know the way there, don't you?

[ He slowly moves to stand up and holds his hand out for her to grab. ]

Yeah, I know the way by now...

[She takes the meat from his eye and tosses it to Bernard who begins to tear and destroy the "snack." She then took his hand and smiles.]

Come along then, Squall, we've no time to waste.

Everyone, Squall and I are heading to the bakery, please keep cleaning the house, alright?

[There's a cacophony of noise that is clearly each animal agreeing to what Snow White requested.]

Frederick, will you give us a ride?

[The other bear came shuffling forward and chuffed, Snow White sat side saddle on his back and then patted the spot behind her for Squall to get on.]

Have you ever ridden on a bear before, Squall?

No I... can't really say I have. I've ridden chocobos back home, but a bear... is definitely a no.

[ Squall's not so sure about climbing on. Just because she had some weird kind of control over animals, doesn't mean it won't want to bite him or something. ]

Well, this is a bit closer to the ground than a chocobo. But just as safe, I promise!

Now don't dilly dally, silly goose.

I... think I'll walk.

Squall, are you scared of riding Frederick? I would understand if you are, but you really shouldn't be, so long as I'm around. Don't you trust me?

It's not that I don't trust you. It's more that I don't trust his opinion of me.

Why wouldn't he have a high opinion of you?
