[The shorter commute home would have been reason enough for Eridanus' chipper mood, but with the date of their duel drawing closer, it's hard not to consider the obvious.

Still, it never fails to pull an affectionate smile across his face.

While he'd never reject the opportunity to go about town with Lucius, it was still rare when he was included on one of the man's prowls. A sheepish smile replaces his initial surprise, and he peels himself out of his coat.]

what a cute cat, I love
