Spy cat

"You're going on an expedition."

Hmm? Did I hear her right?

"An expedition? Me?"

"Yes. You and Neia are going to explore a dungeon."

Huh, I did know that this event would come, but I didn't think it'd come so soon.

"Can't we, you know, do that tomorrow?"

It's evening right now. By the time we'd get to the dungeon, night would have fallen.

I doubt challenging a dungeon during the night would be the most tactical decision on our part.

"Of course, you are going to the dungeon tomorrow." Noelle smiled, but only slightly. "He's just going to brief you on the details."

"Huh."

That makes sense.

Is this woman really Noelle? 

Who are you, and what have you done to my Noelle?

Well, whoever you are, please stay; I prefer you over that overreacting baby.

"Wait, is that a cat?" She looked at the cat perched on the window.

"Well, that certainly is not a dragon, that I'm sure of."
