"—Lady… My Lady…"
A distant voice floated into my dreams, tugging me out of a very important scenario where I was being swayed gently
I cracked one eye open.
Agatha's face hovered above me, gentle but persistent. "My Lady."
I yawned then I stretched—front paws extended, back arched, tail high.
"Refreshments are ready," Agatha said softly.
Before I could respond, she carefully scooped me up—like I was both nobility and fragile porcelain—and set me down at the small balcony table.
I blinked.
The table was covered.
Pastries. Delicate fruit tarts. Small butter cookies dusted with powdered sugar. Cream puffs that looked criminally soft. A slice of sponge cake layered with something that definitely required self-control.
And instead of tea—
Milk.
A small porcelain cup filled to the brim.
I gasped. "Nyang!"
Translation: You understand me on a spiritual level.
Agatha smiled faintly, dipping her head. "I thought milk would be more to your liking, My Lady."
