<br/><strong>"Oh.. umm.. I'm sorry Master Yannick. He's mine. He's no bother really. I tried to get him to stay in my room but he likes to watch over me. I hope its not an issue."</strong><br/><br/>She worried at her lip as she tried explain the animal to him. Her hands fidgeted with a kitchen towel nervously. She looked to the copycat and moved forward to take him from the Master and then remembered she had the gift for him in the front room.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh and there is a gift for you in the front room. It's a special box." </strong><br/><br/>She couldn't look him in the eyes at first but forced herself to look up at him, especially now that she was so close to him. Alex was reaching for the animal as she stood before her employer speaking softly. Her green eyes were wide with worry and hope.
