"Yes, miss, where would you like to dine?"
The loyal Head Maid asked.
"The garden pavilion, it's just right for two people. Don't forget to bring the wine from the ice bucket; the snow hasn't completely melted yet, and such a view in the evening of Rain-Prayer Moon is not common."
She instructed, then asked Shard:
"Would you mind dining outside with me?"
"Of course not."
They stood up, and the cat, afraid Shard would leave it behind, used its paws to cling onto Shard's hand, making him hold it.
"Speaking of which, what else did you do today besides meeting the Guardian of the Earth? Now that the Green Lake battle is over, and the Chosen of Space story has come to an end, can't you stay at home, so I... Lecia and I can come find you?"
As they walked towards the door, while the maids tidied the dining table behind them, Miss Galina asked again.
Shard blinked, hesitated a bit, and then whispered:
"Today's activities... playing with butterflies."
