I have been trying my best to be a respectable house cat these days, but it seems no matter my intent, such a thing simply isn't quite the role for me.

For those who would not know, The Duchess has arrived. A most polite Mistress, so, Alice? Pray cease trying to give me away, would you? There's no loophole for you anymore

The Duchess?

I know her.

1/2

[mustbemad]

Do you truly now?

[mustbemad]

Ah- that was rude.

Of course you do! And glad to, no?

[chosered]

She seems very nice. A little young.

[mustbemad]

A little young, he says. As if age has anything to do with the duchy.

[chosered]

I never said it did.

[mustbemad]

Ah, true, it wasn't explicitly stated.

But you're right about her nature, anyway.

[chosered]

That's good to know. I like to think I'm a good judge of character.

[mustbemad]

Will you judge me?

[chosered]

Do you want me to?

[mustbemad]

Give it a try- like a game.

[chosered]

We need to have a slightly longer conversation, first.

[mustbemad]

Whatever shall we speak on? Life, Love- Riddles?

[chosered]

Life and love both sound pretty promising.

[mustbemad]

I have eight lives, you know.

[chosered]

Do you have plans for all of them?
