Chapter 401: Reunion (1)
"There you go. When he comes inside, he might look scary at first because he is a giant, but once he gets closer you will see how handsome he is. Do your best to look cute before him so I get to keep you," Annalise said, watching the kitten cautiously explore the room she would be sharing with Rafael.
A kitten wasn’t the pet she was looking for, but seeing it alone and close to freezing outside, she had to take it in. Since Rafael was not a fan of her spider or the snake she intended to get, the kitten would be something they could both enjoy having around.
How could Rafael say no to having a kitten as a pet when the little one convinced her to take it in?
"It is not cold here as it was back at the manor. There isn’t much snow falling," Annalise said, looking out the window.
She stood up from the bed and walked to the window to get a glimpse of the palace that looked like it was on a hill. It was grander than she envisioned it to be. A big place to keep the king nice and safe.
They had time to look around Lockwood before she needed to go to the palace. It was exciting for her since this town was said to have everything so she wanted to see what new weapons she might come across.
Rafael was not excited for them, but Annalise wanted to see a gun. Even though she couldn’t use it yet, Annalise wanted to get her hands on one to see what was causing so much damage. Why were people afraid of guns getting in the wrong hands and not worried about swords which she considered to be dangerous?
Annalise continued to look outside as the door opened.
"All the bags have come in. Breakfast will start shortly and then we can go anywhere in the town that you wish to visit," Rafael said, closing the door behind him. "We won’t be seeing my friends yet. One is running away from his mother and Edgar seems to stay close to his wife based on what I hear from Tobias."
