- Meowww...
- Huh? Oh, it's a cat. Looks like something spooked it.
- What's wrong, little guy? Is someone chasing you?
Heh, not that you'd be able to tell me anyway.
- ...
- Jeritza? What's wrong?
- Wait a sec. Why do I feel like this has happened
[cdb]before?
- There you are.
- Uh...yeah? What's up?
- Not you. Her. The creature who raided the pantry.
- Wait, you mean...the cat?
- She is swift. This is not the first time she has
[cdb]eluded my grasp.
- Not the first... Ohhh. So this is who you were chasing
[cdb]the last time.
- Yes. She was injured.
- I tried to tend to her. But she fled. Eventually,
[cdb]another soldier apprehended her.
- ...
- ...
- So that's what was going on. It wasn't a person who
[cdb]went missing, it was a cat.
- Now that I think about it, I don't know if you ever
[cdb]said she was a person. Sorry for jumping to
[cdb]conclusions.
- The fault is mine as well. My word choice was poor.
- Honestly, I'm more surprised than anything.
Never really saw you as a cat person.
- I always thought your antisocial tendencies extended
[cdb]to everyone, human and animal.
- I only loathe people.
- I had a cat once. Back at House Bartels, with my
[cdb]sister.
- No kidding? So they weren't always scared of you?
- No.
- However, the cat vanished. After my mother and
[cdb]sister left.
- Perhaps it was frightened...by the sight of me covered
[cdb]in blood.
- That might be it.
- Nah, probably not.
- I'm no cat expert, but they say animals can sense
[cdb]danger.
- Maybe it could tell that you'd become a threat
[cdb]somehow.
- Ah.
- I'm no expert on cats, but do you really think they'd
[cdb]just forget someone who took care of them?
- I do not know.
- Eh, cats are fickle. Anyway, what do you plan to do
[cdb]once you've caught this bread bandit?
- Take her with me. And make sure she never steals
[cdb]again.
- Mreowr?!
- What's that supposed to mean? Look, you practically
[cdb]scared the whiskers right off her!
- I only planned to give her some food. I wonder why
[cdb]she was frightened.
- Yeah, I think it's gonna be a while till she realizes you
[cdb]just wanna help.
