By the way, it has been confirmed that Tiger Lily and Princess are indeed sisters, their mother being Hollyberry  (source : the Cookie Run Kingdom artbook).
Sorry if this is pretty short,,, I was out of inspiration ;;

By the moon's arising, Werewolf walked in steady, yet light steps. He bent his head on the left, to see past the trees a lit up water source, slightly waving in sync with the breeze.Lying next to it, was the silhouette of another cookie he knew too well : it was one with long, floating hair, a spear lying next to it. Even without having to look at the face, he exactly knew who this was. And the mere fact of putting a name to it made his heart flutter in his chest.

It was Tiger Lily, a successor of the Berry royal bloodline, that abandoned her family to live into the wild. Werewolf has been knowing her since childhood, around the time he exiled his village, too. He knew exactly what it was like, leaving what was dearest to your eyes, and moving forward. It felt like the more he talked to her, the closer he felt to her. Several years have passed, since the first time they met. During all these years, he could elaborate something quite... special, about her that he never thought he would have. These were mysterious feelings, and he felt the need to tell her about them. With that agreed, he walked behind her, then sat down next to her. Tiger Lily eyed him, before she returned to her contemplation of the moonlit lake.

"Heya, Tiger," Werewolf finally said. "I know this might sound weird, but... I need to talk to you about something."

He looked at her. Despite her not looking at him directly into the eyes, he knew that when she looked down her feet, it meant that she was indeed listening to him. He then nodded before going on.

"Look. It's been years since we first knew each other. I first felt scared, because I thought I was the only one into this big forest. But then, you came. And I suddenly felt less... lonely. I knew I had a friend to hang out with," Werewolf paused to form a smile on his face.

"Now... it has been quite a lot of time since we first met each other. And I wanted to say that I really... really like you. Like, quite a lot, actually... you've always kept me company, where nobody would do so in the past. You've always stuck up with me, to the very end. And that, Lily, I cannot thank you enough for that. I know, again, that this sounded weird. But... I needed to tell you that for quite long, now. And you don't even have to say anything back. Just... get to know that I love you. There, I said it now. I... I guess I'll go, now. See ya tomorrow, Lily."

He stood up, then glanced at her a last time. Tiger Lily was still staring blankly at her feet. Her amber eyes lightened by the moonlight, and her turquoise hair flowing gracefully next to her pretty hourglass form. All the sand has now fallen. The time has come to an end, to him. Now he said all he had to say, he turned around, and slowly walked away, back between the trees to seek refuge for the night. Meanwhile, the wild-natured girl blinked. She recollected her thoughts, before she muttered to herself :

"Love... me...?"
