"I was just about ready to give up on ever seeing him, I was. But just when I was accepting it and movin' on, you suddenly started talkin' about rescuing him." She gave a bitter chuckle. "Funny how that works, innit?"
"Catty..." You gave her a smile. "Don't worry, we'll get him back before you know it."
"Thanks guv." She returned it with grateful sincerity. "For most of my life it's just been him an' me against the world, so this means a lot to me."
"You think he'll like me?" You couldn't help but ask.
"Course he will, guv." She sounded almost offended. "You saved my bloody life and you treat me well. That's enough to make you a decent Master in his books."
"That's good to hear." You had to stifle a sigh of relief. "I would've still saved him even if he didn't like me though."
"I know." Cattleya meowed. "And I know that you've been thinking about how to deal with Rostchilde, especially after you sent those three bandits to fuck his shit up."
"Yeah." You wondered what happened to the Drag On Gang after that little incident.
"Oi, I know I already said this, but thanks for following up on your plans and not just leavin' my dad to break rocks hard labor."
"It was something I've always planned to do since I heard it from you. I just needed some time to consolidate my shit and work out a plan."
"So you've got some tricks up your sleeve, Master?"
"I'm still doing some recon using the Orb. I've been looking at all of Rostchilde's different properties and open air prisons, the schedules for whenever his 'indentured servants' are shifted around, his actions in Centria, that sort of thing."
"Feels like we should get some more people involved." Cattleya meowed.
"I've got Ruby on the job." You revealed.
"Her?" Your Cat had an incredulous expression. "Really?"
"Hey you can't deny she's good at scheming."
