[GOOD EVENING, SOMARIUM. Today finds Ange scrambling around, seemingly trying to grab hold of something. The "something" makes itself known when it jumps gracefully onto a nearby wall. Ange slowly approaches the animal, and it affectionately bats at her head with a paw

My, my.

What graceful paws.

[storychained]

[Oblivious to your love of the feline species, Sebastian.]

She's in decent shape, for just escaping the flood...

[thebutler_epic]

[Ahem. What an unprofessional slip. Sebastian bows to the Dreamberry]

Quite so, madam. I believe many of the animals within Somarium were so fortunate. [Correction: he knows they disappeared because he checked his bureau first thing]

[storychained]

[S'cool, she didn't notice.]

That's good. They must've gone to the same place that the other citizens went to.

[Which is to say, they disappeared entirely.]

[thebutler_epic]

Yes.

I take it they were well-cared for.

[storychained]

Hn. Seems like it.

[thebutler_epic]

If you need any assistance in caring for the cat, I would be glad to be of service.

[storychained]

I've never had a pet before. Anything really important I should know about cat care?

[thebutler_epic]

I find it's simpler than caring for humans. [Chuckles]

[storychained]

[What a weird thing to say. And then she takes in the outfit.]

... You're a butler?

[thebutler_epic]

Yes.

[Bows once more] I'm Sebastian, the Phantomhive butler.

[storychained]

Phantomhive, huh? Can't say I've heard of them.

[thebutler_epic]

[Smiles]

I'm not surprised, though the earl returned to Somarium last fall.

[storychained]

He left and came back, you mean. Happens to the best of us.

[thebutler_epic]

Ah, yes. My young master has no memory of his previous visits, but I was here to remind him.

[storychained]

Lucky him. How long've you been here?
