>>41562380>the little insignificant lives of little insignificant people meant insignificantly little to the one named Mial>the short and stocky golden-haired cat only barely tolerated these people who insisted on making themselves visitors into her world>what use did she have to bother daydreaming about their lives, or care about their silly "social customs"; her quest was of much greater importance than something as pathetic as that!>by the gods, how she longed to complete this harrowing exercise, and return to the mystical deserts and glistening oasis of her home in Raii-KohfuTut-tut, Neffy!
>she lightly chastised her mummified servant, tapping her fingertips over Nef's nose for emphasisThese are serious business discussions; not the time for such silliness!
>she let out a snorty laughAs if you would expect
Me to be satisfied with such
peasanty conditions of living for sale!
>she took Nef's cheek, pinching it and jiggling it aboutYou can be so
funny sometimes!
Remind me to give you a bonus for making me laugh, will you, sweetie~?
>clearing her throat, she let go of Nef to turn back to the cleric in front of herNow, as I was saying!
>she casually tossed a bag of gold onto the deskI will raise my offer to one full sack of mani for this land, and if I may say, that is
by far the most generous offer you shall ever receive for such mediocre soil.
>her tail gave a sudden flick, the aristocratic cat beginning to lose her patienceWere it not for the amount of sunlight it receives, I would not pay

>she paused, taking a moment to think>before turning to Nefrae with a snap of her fingersNeffy, remind me: commission for a new feet-soaking tub later today.
The portrait on my current one is beginning to grow faint, so it's right about time I replace it.
>another snapAlso remind me: the cost of the new tub will be deducted from your bonus.
I told you not to leave the old one exposed to the elements, so it's partially your fault we need a new one in the first place.
