"Korvo's curses!" Cream Cheese Icing was correct about the omen, but he read it wrong. Still, he got a nice prize for guessing about Health, so it wasn't all a loss.
He spent the day helping Biscotti with their cookies; he got another treat there with eating up the crumbs. The Wintermarkt was bustling around him as he wondered about killing time until the next Mush. He actually stopped to chat with one of his pack mates who happened to be here. Kaya was here with her Stockings. This reminded Cream Cheese he needed to find a trinket to put on his Stocking back home. The cookies had distracted him! There were lots of pretty things here to buy, but nothing really struck him as being a true memento of the Mush. Ah well, there was another day tomorrow to find something.
Cream Cheese Icing had found his quiet tent to nap for a bit before the next Mush. When he awoke though, he realized he had slept just a tad too late and had to rush over to the games. Thankfully the betting line wasn't too long, so he had time to place his bet still. However, he had neglected to visit the Meese this time, so he had to guess blind.
"Going off my gut, I'll say: Serenity first and Wealth last!"
He trotted quickly off to find Kaya and watch the race.
