After dinner, on a recliner on Moonrise Fortress's terrace.
The little girl in a white dress leaned back comfortably, her waist-length pale golden hair flowing naturally down at her side.
The night sky was clear and cloudless. Beneath the dazzling starlight that filled the heavens, a hazy glow spread across the girl's tender, delicate face, making her seem utterly mysterious and alluring.
"Kate, what do you think my brother is doing right now?"
Gazing up at the countless diamond-like stars glittering in the night sky, the girl asked softly, her voice full of curiosity.
"Meow—"
The fluffy Blue-Gray Kitten in her arms gave a soft cry, seemingly expressing its confusion.
"What? You don't know either?"
The girl widened her eyes and lifted the gray-and-white kitten before her with both hands, staring into its adorable mismatched blue and green eyes as she asked.
"Meow—?"
Suddenly lifted by her owner, the kitten tilted its head in confusion, wearing an innocent expression. Its fluffy white paws clung to Fiona's wrist before it turned its head and began licking its fur.
"That won't do, Kate! As a lady cat of the Olyvendi Family, you mustn't lick your fur while answering my questions, understand?"
Fiona puffed out her lips adorably. Imitating the tone of her etiquette instructor, she lightly tapped the kitten's pink nose and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Meow—"
The blue-gray kitten gave a soft cry, its upper eyelids drooping slightly. Combined with the naturally downturned corners of its mouth, it seemed to be expressing confusion over the girl's command.
"Oh, right, I remember Brother saying that on nights of the full moon, you jump up to the moon. Is that true?"
"Meow—"
"If it is, could you take me there too? I'm curious what the moon looks like as well."
"Meow—"
"Alright!
