Everyone knew that the Protectors were somehow getting cookies but they didn't have any idea how. They had taken all the cookies they could find off the two cookieholics, they had taken the chocolate chips away and basically banned them from the guest house and they still somehow always had cookies. It was so confusing.

Then one day, Ritchie, Brandon, and Daveed had arrived super early for training but even as they were talking to them, there was a knock on the door. Jakey looked at the trainers before he went to the door. Everyone snapped to attention when they smelled the aroma of freshly baked cookies.

Curious to find out who was giving them cookies, the members of Divinus Magicae crept around the corner only to be shocked at what they saw.

"Remember, no one knows that I do this, alright?" Mario said with a glare as he handed Jakey two cookies, one for him, one for Kay.

"Uh y-yeah thanks, M-mario." Jakey thanked him before asking. "Can I ask why you do this?"

"If I'm being honest, its mostly because I feel bad. You guys got ripped from your homes, your way of life, and are just expected to act like you signed up for Divinus Magicae. Sure, I'd expect for my guild mates to give you some training but your not Divinus Magicae, your Protectors, and there's a lot of differences there. So a couple cookies every once in a while is to make you feel a little more comfortable." Mario told him before adding. "Plus, I've been making a few too many cookies in usual batches that I give to the villagers and I don't want to gain more weight due to having to eat cookies."

Jakey was silent for a moment before he turned and froze when he spotted the three. Mario caught sight of them too and sighed.

"You're the reason they keep getting contraband." Daveed accused.

"My counterpoint to that is why you keep accusing them of keeping contraband when both Kit and Inmo have a jar of cookies." Mario said with a smirk and the three stopped.

"Wha- How did I not notice that?" Daveed asked in shock. "He literally lives in my house."

"Also since when did you bake?" Ritchie asked.

"... Please go ask any of the residents of our island about my baking, please." Mario told them with amusement in his voice.

"So-" "Before you say you're going to confiscate the contraband, I will say I've seen you eat cookies as well so really you're just being a hypocrite." Mario said and Brandon glared him.

"Fine, just this once, I won't." Jakey smiled brightly at that while Mario smirked.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I got more deliveries to make." Mario said turning and walking out the door.
