Mr. Cuddles certainly lived up to his name and reputation. 

Vincent could fell his lungs being crushed beneath his straining, tightening ribs, as Mr. Cuddles' incredible grip tightened and sandwiched the three men together. From Vince's lips escaped a short deflating wheeze. Not only was the cuddle horrendously tight, but being so painfully close to some guy, Inadi, who he had never even met before didn't help matters. Being squashed next to ladies was far more preferable. He couldn't complain about how close he was to the glaring hair coloured Lesley, but he wished he could substitute Inadi for Riley. That would have been nice.

"Don't... don't worry about... Inadi..." Vince gasped, tapping the bear's arm rapidly in the hopes that Mr. Cuddles would relent. "We'll... look after... Inadi..." Hopefully comforting the bear's worries might prompt him to release his hold?

"Oh, Vincent! You're too kind!" Mr. Cuddles bobbed from side to side in happiness. Vincent's ploy had worked, and the bear released his grip on the three men. This time to replace it and focus all of his chipper love to Vincent, wrapping his arms around the blonde, hoodied wearing man and taking him into an unbreakable hold. The back of Vince's chair splintered and cracked, shattering into pieces, with Vince's spine threatening to follow. Inadi and Lesley watched in horror as they recollected their breath. What an altruistic man!

A minute later, the cuddle was broken, as was the man lying on the cake shop's wooden floor, his spirit floating out from his body and towards the heavens above. The tarts and chocolate rolls Mr. Cuddles had offered for Vincent to take on his journey sounded divine - that was, if he ever got the chance to eat them. As Vincent laid on the floor, Mr. Cuddles returned his attention to the rest of his guests. 

"Good... luck... with... Mrs. Panda..." Vincent's raised head smacked back down onto the ground.
