Not giving it much though, Annie stuck her finger directly into her mouth. While it did prevent her from continuing the conversation for a moment, her finger felt a lot better. Nodding softly in response to his question about the head butler sending her out here, her eyes focused directly on the purring cat in his arms. It was so adorable. Slowly and carefully she reached out her hand. The cat seemed hesitant at first before sniffing her hand and tilting its head towards her palm. 

The young woman grinned as she pulled her finger from her mouth and gently glided her other hand over the purring cat’s head. “Midnight is adorable.” She said with a giggle as the cat purred during the petting. “But Adrian wanted me to make sure you had completed all your work for the day and… well yeah, that you weren’t slacking off. I only got here a few months ago,” At that she glanced around the garden as she continued to pet the cute cat in his arms. “But I haven’t been out here until now. You do a lovely job!”
