[How nice! Henry only wishes he could take this stranger up on their offer for future friendship. They seem nice, whoever they are, and Henry likes associating with nice people. He wonders if they're a Monster, or if there's a chance that these cookies are actually enchanted by a Witch...

Even with that possibility hanging over his head, he eats them. The lily, however, meets a grim fate by becoming the subject for new necromantic practice as Henry challenge himself to keep it alive for as long as possible.]

[It might have been sent by the Fae but there is not a trace of Fae trickery added as secret ingredient to the dough, she can assure him!

Do show her what happened to the lily sometime once you become better friends though! Marie would be glad to see her gift found such creative usage. The Coven would definitely be able to point Henry in the direction of Marie if he asked around]

[He'll just have to do his best at sleuthing! Which he does. (For now, the lily project will remain his secret.) Upon learning who is responsible for the cookies, Henry returns the gesture - though it's in early Ieneuer before it reaches her. A sealed packet awaits Marie, embossed with her name in scarlet ink.

Inside is a very small brooch that looks something like this. Without light, it appears black and made of obsidian, but it shifts in color under light. It's fairly understated due to being so small, but a closer look shows that it's made up of tiny dragon scales and stone. Accompanying it is a note:]

Hiya! Thanks for the cookies and the flower. You made my day. I hope we can meet, too. Since you're so sneaky, I thought you could use a charmed pin that draws the attention of others to you if you just wish for it. It doesn't work on things without eyes, though. And it doesn't work on dead OR undead things, including vampires, which is kind of a bummer. But it'll work on me!

[Marie usually has no trouble grabbing people’s attention even without the use of magical accessories. However, this one is really pretty and the extra bit of attention definitely cannot hurt. So she eventually sends a short note to Henry’s device]

Thank you for such a lovely gift! I sincerely hope to grab your attention soon, with the help of your brooch or without it? We shall see!
