<span class="mu-r">“Cat was right. That was pretty fun.”</span> you admitted. <span class="mu-r">“We should do it again sometime.”</span>
Lorina beamed at you. <span class="mu-r">“I’ll say! That was the smoothest job I’ve had in a while.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Even though we were involved in a high speed chase with half the NYPD?”</span> Prowler asked.
<span class="mu-b">“The risk makes it all the more fun.”</span> Cat said with a confident smile.
<span class="mu-r">“See? She gets it.”</span> Lorina said, pointing at Cat with an approving grin.
<span class="mu-r">“Speaking of risks,”</span> you began. <span class="mu-r">“I hope you pay these butlers well, because they pulled out all the stops today. Either way, I suggest a raise.”</span>
White Rabbit tapped the side of her face with a gloved finger as she took one long look around the room. Her hired goons were standing completely still, watching her hopefully.
Finally, she nodded. <span class="mu-r">“They <span class="mu-i">did</span> do a good job, didn’t they? Not a single one got caught. That has to be a new record!”</span> she exclaimed, giving them a small round of applause. <span class="mu-r">“Pat yourselves on the back, ladies and gentlemen! You’ve earned a bonus.”</span>
With cautious optimism, the bunny butlers and maids glanced around at one another and joined her in applauding themselves. You and the others gave them your thanks as well.
If it weren’t for them, you probably wouldn’t have been able to make such a clean getaway.

As you were all heading out, Lorina took it upon herself to escort you to the door. She didn’t seem too keen to let you all leave just yet. You felt a bit bad when she would make repeated offers to let you help her smash a few clocks or play polo out in her backyard, only for you to turn her down in favor of getting home sooner.
Right when you were at the door, you stopped and turned to face her.
<span class="mu-r">“Be sure to send me the info on that bar later. Maybe we can go out for a few drinks.”</span> you suggested.
The corners of Lorina’s lips curved upward into a smile.
<span class="mu-r">“Maybe.”</span> she said, a teasing note in her voice. <span class="mu-r">“You all still owe me a tea party. Grumpy pants promised me he’d wear the hat and everything.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“No, I didn’t.”</span> Prowler said in a flat tone, without turning around.
You leaned in to whisper in White Rabbit’s ear and gestured for her to come closer.
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll make it happen. Even if I have to glue it to his head.”</span> you said, sharing a conspiratorial grin with your accomplice.
Lorina let out a giddy squeal as she bounced on the tips of her toes, fingers clasped in delight.
Cat and Flint risked a curious glance over their shoulders, no doubt wondering what the two of you were up to. In your opinion, it’d be way funnier if they didn’t know.
