Lucky for Julian, whatever Max's agenda was, he didn't get all that far into town before he picked a place to stop, that place being the arms of a trendy-looking brunette (http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/448567-sakura%20nymph/567/26/b4anime_girl_66521_display.jpg) who had been walking down the street just ahead. She had heard him calling out the cat's name in the distance, but was so caught off-guard when the cat leaped up against her chest that she yelped and dropped the several bags of merchandise she had been carrying, thankfully catching Max in the process. By the time Julian showed up, however, she didn't seem too upset about the ordeal, smiling and giggling at this panicked expression.<br/><br/>"What's ze matter, lose your pet?" the girl asked in a somewhat heavy French accent, petting Max a few times before holding the cat to him.
