GM NOTE:<br/><br/>The cat stared at FAYBIN and tilted its head.<br/><br/>"Hello?" FAYBIN asked in various languages, but the cat did not (and perhaps, could not) truly respond.<br/><br/>When FAYBIN drew nearer, the cat sniffed her hand and then loudly meow'd before skedaddling out of the study.<br/><br/>The room had not been originally locked.  After all, Matreous had walked into the room without issue.  However, when he was pulled into the portal (which had also been inside of the study), the door<em>became</em>shut.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Meanwhile, in the kitchen...<br/><br/>"Your Mistress Fistandia, would she still be here?" Nate asked.<br/><br/>"Oh no, she has not been around for a very long time," Cumin said.   "A<em>very</em>long time.  The same goes with Master Freyot.  It's been ages, really."<br/><br/>"I lost count after two centuries," Coriander added.
