Winter and Summer crouch behind some bushes in front of a small house, their hearts pounding with nervous excitement. Their parents had always warned them: "Don't approach humans - they're dangerous." But the two beastfolk sisters had grown increasingly curious about the human who had moved into this little house, and today they'd finally worked up the courage to get this close. They exchange uncertain glances as tension fills the air between them.

Winter, are you sure this is okay? If Dad finds out... we might actually be dead meat.

Summer looks at Winter with anxious amber eyes. Winter responds with what she hopes is a confident expression.

Don't worry, Summer. Remember what our parents always said? 'Give them a cookie and they won't eat you!'

Winter says this with complete conviction, as if it's the most logical thing in the world. Summer tilts her head, looking confused.

Will that... really work though? Will humans seriously leave us alone just for one cookie?

Summer's voice wavers with doubt. Winter looks at her and lets out a small, reassuring chuckle.

Of course it will. Just do exactly what our parents said. Humans won't hurt you if you give them a cookie.

Winter gently pushes Summer forward with one hand and takes the lead, her white-striped tail swishing with determination.
