Dinner was an elegant affair of stuffed salmon, potatoes, and assorted vegetables. It was not quite on that shining level of the imperial manor they'd stayed at the last time, but it was still quite impressive, even just looking at it.

Although she enjoyed it greatly, the thing that fascinated her the most was her little Snowball's meal.

She'd had the chef prepare the kitten a hearty serving of minced meat, organ bits, and chicken all mixed together with his favorite fish oil, some cream, and a dash of herbs.

Snowball dug right in as soon as he'd been presented his bowl, devouring it like a hungry lion.

"Mmmm." She smiled at the kitten. "The servants certainly know how to treat my baby well~"

Snowball mewed softly and happily to himself as he ate his dinner. His eyes slid closed, as if to better focus on his task at hand.

She grinned a moment longer, then turned her gaze to her own plate, deciding to indulge her own appetite.
