"Eh… No, that was all I could learn." The pup responded, with a fast tone that gave the impression of him trying to hide something. "Well, she also told me that—"

"So, he killed members of his own family," Cookie looked at Vanilla. "What does make you think he won't do the same with you?"

"The fact that I have the necrostone and the key fragments with me, and not he does not," Vanilla confidently responded. "But that's assuming I decide to help him in the first place. He was an idiot for giving them such important items to me."
