253 ※ Nicholai vs Caspien [III]

Mass release: 3/4.

※※※

As Natasha began to guide us to this private outdoor training grounds of her father, holding that obnoxious glaring beautiful cat, I couldn't help but wonder about it, my eyes going down to my companion.

Castin?

{"Yes?"} He hummed as if he had been waiting for me to mention it.

What's up with her cat? Is it just a cat or is he the source of the entity you felt around her that first time, the day Valerian collapsed in the garden? Am I overthinking?

{"Not a normal cat, but I can't say what it is."}

Is it the spirit guardian?

{"The probability is high. I've never seen him before, a spirit in cat form. But I feel... something eerie from it, dangerous. No normal cat would give me that feeling."}
