"I guess so.." Souvii answered, tilting his head. "I sometimes act weird reason why people leave me behi-"

"That's- enough." Toffee interrupted, his hand held out softly.

"o-okay.." Souvii replied, placing both hands behind him, looking down. "By the way.. Why did you follow me here..?" He asked in a relaxed tone.

"I came to ask questions. Only to you." Toffee replied. Stepping closer to Souvii, "Why you ask? Something in you interests me.." He added, placing his hand below his chin.

"Me..? I'm apparently the..weakest monster as of today.. Or, ever since the beggining." Souvii muttered. "That's all you needed to know.." He tried discouraging his new interest, but it seemed that he failed. Toffee still stood there in silence. Curious of who Souvii really is.
"I'll meet you back at my tent. You can leave the corns for now, and I will assign others for this task." Toffee waved his hand as he turned to face the other side, and walk back to camp.

Souvii was standing there, and looked down at the two fallen corns. He stared at it before looking at the direction of where Toffee exited. He switched looking from the corns and the path back to camp before suddenly heading off, he left the cornfield and headed back to camp.

Later, at the camp..

Souvii got back to camp, and spots Toffee just entering his tent. He rushed over and slowed down at the entrance of the tent. Souvii waited there, his hands behind him. He looked at both sides, seeing some monsters head over to the cornfield. He smirked and decided to enter the tent.

He walked in, to see a small space with a table at the center, and lit candles around the interior of the tent.

"Have a seat." He called, and pulling his own chair to take a seat.
Souvii paused before doing so. Now both of them were on their seats. "So..--"
"What are you hiding, lizard?" Toffee slammed his hand on the table, interrupting Souvii again. "Are you planning something to do against me?" He added.
"What?? N-No!-- I.. I don't even know how to hurt anyone.. I'm pretty harmless on my own.." Souvii replied, waving both hands to the side.
Toffee leaned over the table, his hands held together. Toffee kept quiet and stared at Souvii's eyes. "I see.." He grumbled, looking to the side; and getting himself up afterwards. Toffee stood beside a cabinet, and opening the top drawer. Toffee got himself a paper; it seemed to be slightly torn and was old.
He turned around, heading back to the table. Toffee placed the paper on the table gently. It had a drawn figure of a woman, holding a small item; it looked like a wand.
"This.. is Comet Butterfly. The current Queen of The Kingdom of Mewni." He'd describe the image. "She dislikes monsters like us. And you little boy." He grabbed the paper and walked back to the cabinet, placing it inside, "You are going to be our weapon." He smirked, chuckling. "You'll be powerful, and unbreakable.." Toffee added, clenching his hand. "You will be the one who will help me defeat our only rival.." He said, opening his hand as he leaned over the chair.

"Say.. Deal?" Toffee finished, smirking. "You.. will be better than who you are, when you accept my help." He added.

Souvii stared at him in silence, his mouth open. He shook his head and rested his back on the chair, "S-Sorry boss.. I don't really fight for how weak I am.. Plus I really can't change.." He replied, looking down.
"That is why I am helping you." Toffee said in a quite cheery tone. "I will make you stronger, and you won't do jobs like delivery anymore. So once more; do we have a deal?" He added, offering a handshake.
Souvii stared at his hand before bracing himself and taking a deep breath. "Alright.. Deal.." He later said as he got himself up and shook Toffee's hand.

Toffee smirked and would let go after shaking Souvii's hand. "You training will begin tomorrow. Others will do your job. Now, you can head back to you and your group's tent." He said in a calm tone, before placing his hands behind him.
Souvii nodded and turned around to head outside; before being called once more.
"Hey kid. I never caught your name, by the way." Toffee question, narrowing his eyes.
"Oh it's.. Souvii.. Cla-" Souvii replied, quite stuttering.
"Alright Souvii. Remember what we are to do tomorrow." Toffee interrupted, before turning around and doing leader stuff.
Souvii smiled and turned a little red as Toffee turned his back, and headed outside.
