The maids' outfits behind the sofa were the same as the one who followed Mr. Stan to find Shard, indicating that these three maids were all brought out from Yordle Palace by the Princess.
Mr. Stan gestured for Shard to straighten out his clothes. When Shard reached for his collar, he was startled to touch a furry paw. He then realized that Mia was still perched on his shoulder.
The cat had been so well-behaved just now that Shard had completely forgotten it was still there.
"Isn't it somewhat rude to bring a cat to a commission?"
Thinking to himself, Shard turned his head to look at his shoulder, and indeed, Mia's amber eyes were very beautiful.
"You must behave."
Whispering a reminder and adjusting his collar properly, he was then introduced by President Stan to these "distinguished guests."
