Ouch! That hurt Huine! Arye wailed as Huine swiped a paw at him mercilessly. The two had been fighting playfully for about ten minutes at the bottom of the grand stairwell, with Yawla pacing nearby. They were waiting for Miaama to join them, and tell them of their next mission.

Stop whining, Arye! I barely hit you! Huine complained before Arye tackled her into the nearby wall. They continued play-fighting for several minutes before Yawla walked gracefully over to them and pulled Huine away from Arye and sighed exasperatedly.

Honestly! Both of you, stop bickering! Yawla hissed before pawing back to her former state of pacing back and forth before the stairwell. It continued like this for several minutes, with Yawla pacing and Arye and Huine glancing back and forth at each other, each tempted to pounce at the other. Then, when Miaama finally did gracefully paw down the stairwell, Yawla stopped and waited for the white cat to reach the bottom.

You know where we are going and what for, correct? Miaama began when she reached the bottom. She sat down on her haunches next to Yawla and in front of Huine and Arye. The two younger cats shook their head no, but Yawla nodded a half-hearted yes. We go to explain our disappointment in Farucan's inability to carry out the assassination attempt.

We have no room for failure, and Farucan ruined our chance to rid the Mistress of the troublesome boy! Yawla added, and received a nod from both Huine and Arye for their comprehension. The cats silently padded away from the stairwell, keeping to the shadows.

Meanwhile, Lassra sat comfortably curled in the corner of the dining hall, intent on watching over her Mistress while Miaama, Yawla, Huine, and Arye were away. There was no telling what could or would happen at that point, for Lassra was not sure how the company would react to her Mistress' state. Not to mention what the Mistress' horrible mate might do to degrade Beruthiel.

Mosi was prancing about the kitchen, gleefully nipping up any scraps the foolish or clumsy cooks would drop onto the floor. Mmmm! That is some good milk! Wonder why it's red though! Arye thought after mistakenly lapping up some spilt wine. He skillfully avoided the frantic feet of the cooks, and went off into the dining hall to sit with Lassra.
