Oh, Constance. It takes you a moment to realize what he’s asking, what it means. After all, you were very distracted with the antics of this wicked horse. But after stammering out a request for him to repeat himself, and receiving the reply that Catherine is the [i]cat,[/i] see... well, you know what it’s like to care dearly for a cat.

“I have a way with cats,” you say, proudly but without arrogance. It’s simple truth. “If Cath can be found, I promise I will bring her back to you. I can’t say for certain that she can be, but I will give all that I can.” And here, you look to Robena, and you will brook no dispute. You [i]are[/i] going to go save a cat, and that’s the end of it.
