After saving her in the Forest of Certain Death, Moon took to Toffee a lot better and dialed back her attitude. There was no more hide-and-seek, obviously. She also had started listening in their daily lessons and doing almost everything he asked of her without complaint. It was the least she could do to repay him for saving her life. Although, Moon's sheer determination alone wasn't enough to change the fact she loathed every minute she was being forced towards queenship. So, Toffee decided to offer her an incentive for her hard work and she had come to enjoy at least five minutes a day. He had agreed to five minutes, after her lessons, where Moon was allowed to ask him something personal. She could ask him anything she thought of, however, there was no guarantee he would give her an answer. Moon just got to fire off random questions, until he chose to answer one. Which she was fine with, for the moment. Eventually, she hoped he would tell her all the questions he refused to answer. Moon could tell he had a lot of secrets.
Over the past few weeks, Moon had learned the following things about Toffee:
-He doesn't like ice cream. He's cold-blooded and says it's on par with eating a pile of daggers.
-He's from somewhere called Septarsis (wherever that is). It's apparently in the same dimension as Mewni, but far away, past the wetlands of Avarius.
-His mother kept trying to eat him when he was a baby.
-His only living relative is his cousin, Rasticore. They don't talk...
-Although, he wouldn't dare disclose his exact age, it apparently is not that far off from her own. His species has a different lifespan to Mewmans, which is why he reeked of maturity and wisdom.
It wasn't such a great accomplishment, considering she'd only uncovered five little tidbits about Toffee in the month she'd known him. But, Moon knew it was more than her parents and probably anyone else knew about him. It made her feel somewhat special that he'd bestowed such a privilege on her.

"Princess?"
Moon could hear Toffee knocking on the door to her room, but she wouldn't let him in. For some reason, he was still struggling to call her by her name. Moon tended not to answer if he didn't, as if training him. Toffee had come to fetch her for lessons. Even though she was more likely not to run off nowadays, he didn't want to take a chance on wasting anymore time.
"No princesses in here. Sorry!" she replied, with a sing-song sort of cheeriness in her voice and a playful giggle. Moon was in a good humor today. Glossaryck was finally going to teach her how to defend herself with magic and read Solaria's spellbook chapter. She was sick of learning parlor tricks from past queens of Mewni. Her own mother had barely contributed anything to the book that wasn't something to do with etiquette and proper queenship. She was brilliant at cooking and potion magic, but hardly any of that made it into the book. Moon was also ecstatic because she'd thought of the perfect question to ask Toffee after their lesson.
"Moon—the king and queen wish to see you before we start." Toffee added. Moon groaned, her mood instantly dampened, and reluctantly opened the door to meet him.
"What do they want?" Moon inquired, slightly curious, but also rather skeptic.
"No idea." Toffee replied, simply. "Come along now. We best not be late..."
Moon sighed and diligently followed him towards the throne room, where her parents sat waiting. Toffee bowed low to them, while Moon walked a little closer before curtseying. Apparently, according to Toffee, it was not polite to keep stomping up to them and say, 'What do you want?' anymore. Even if they were her parents, she still had to treat them like the king and queen.
