Blue dress with yellow sash, check.
White stockings and little felt shoes, check.
And a little choker around her neck, complete with a shiny blue, silver and green medallion hanging off it.
She was still a bit on the damp side, though. The man known as Lord Djibril sighed.
(*...Mama always puts me in hot waterrrr...*)
"Yes I know, but you are housecat and therefore get bathed twice a week. And it's not that hot..."
He remembered trying to take her T-shirt off a while back, when he'd decided he had to try to wash her himself, and snickered. It wouldn't come off, of course - cat's fur is not detachable. Not to mention that he thought it was probably fundamentally "imaginary" clothing to begin with...
"Now get in your harness - "
He tried not to think about what his hands were actually doing, while he put her hands and feet in the thing. It turned out to look like a perfectly ordinary tether connected to her waist, and least to his eyes, anyway.
He turned his camcorder at her, just to make sure. Small well-washed black kitten, bigger then before, still slightly damp. With a brand new collar - well, it was more like a thick ribbon - and harness.
OK, then.
"Now, now, cat - we're going to go to the Ball..."
Muruta Azrael snickered. A certain "cousin" had actually brought that cat he'd dug out of a dumpster to the reception.
Though it was much better looking then it was when he'd seen it last, he had to admit... It looked black and sleek, now, with a round fluffy face with golden eyes from what he'd heard, though he wasn't close enough to actually see the eyes...
And it wasn't like he was the only one who had brought pets, now that he looked around the area, though most of the other people with cats or dogs in there arms were either older matrons or servants attached to older matrons. ...Well, a particular "cousin" would have some people to talk too, at least, for a change, he supposed...
This wasn't a BC get-together or a even strictly a LOGOS get-together, though LOGOS connected people were paying for most of it, so he couldn't really work the Old Boy's and Girl's network like he really wanted too - but there were still people worth talking too here, he supposed.
And there went the Seirans, Yuuna Roma Seiran following his father Unato and talking a kilo a minute. The blonde girl in the elaborate dress reluctantly walking with them was - ahh, so that was the Princess Cagalli, was it?
Which probably did mean that the Uzumi Nala Athha, ORB Rep, had actually deined to turn up in person. Well, well, well.
Wasn't that interesting?
...OK, then? It probably wouldn't be very politic to embarrass the Seiran's too much - but if he could find a way to talk to the Princess Cagalli, even just a little...
Before he talked to Lord Uzumi, if possible, since he'd be damned if he passed up this chance to actually try and get the "Lion of Orb"'s measure in person.
OK, OK, now what to do...
