Chapter 154: Bonding (2)
Tyrion returned home by evening just as the servants were carrying in boxes which had to be from Penelope’s trip.
"Winston! Pets belonging to my wife are in the carriage, and more will arrive tomorrow after a bird cage has been made in the garden. Be on the lookout for it and ensure they are all well taken care of," Tyrion instructed the butler.
Tyrion walked with a black cat in his arms to surprise Penelope with.
Tyrion went to the room he shared with Penelope and opened the door to find her being undressed by Matilda.
"Tyrion- Oh!" Penelope smiled, rushing to see her cat. "You have brought him along. Thank you. Was Lily sad to see him go?"
"No. She helped with finding him," Tyrion replied.
Penelope hugged her cat. "I hope he will not miss his brother, but I am happy to have him here. He will have so much to explore. What of the others?"
"Your birds and dogs? You will need a bird cage before they come. How is it possible that you have a specific fish as pets?" Tyrion inquired, starting to understand Edgar’s troubles.
"Lily, Isabelle, and I picked which fish we liked most, and our father built us each a pond in the garden. There are other dogs and cats I share with my sisters, but I will leave them there. Raven is mine alone," Penelope said, setting Raven down.
Tyrion watched as the tiny creature rubbed itself against Penelope’s dress. "I’m afraid there might not be enough room here for him."
"Our chamber is quite large," Penelope said, disagreeing with Tyrion.
