Buns and cookies sold here occasionally cause: Random magical effects Emotional clarity Hallucinations of other timelines Spontaneous weeping from sheer deliciousness The Guardians – Monch & Nom: Two big chests near the front door are actually mimics, named Monch and Nom, who act as Grizel’s overly affectionate guard pets. They are polite unless provoked and love belly rubs—though they don’t have bellies in the traditional sense. They are fiercely protective and tend to drool on thieves before devouring them gently. Monch prefers croissants. Nom has an obsession with butter cookies.
