— That’s exactly how it is, human. — Finally, the cat spoke in a human voice.
— Hmm... Perhaps I should make an appointment with Eisen myself. — Victor smiled easily again, not losing his composure at all. — I thought you were a little smarter, Anders. Or maybe you were ready to share a bed with Gonzo or grovel before...
— Karea, — the cat finished for the professor, — I told that idiot the same thing, almost word for word.
— So that’s how it is...
— Hey, what do you think you’re doing? — When Victor picked up the cat, it began to resist.
— Oh, how interesting! — The professor began to examine the cat more closely. — There don’t seem to be any physical differences, but it can talk, what a strange thing...
— Shhh... — The cat hissed and jumped out of the human’s grasp, after which it hurried to “disconnect” from the session.
— Well, Anders, I think your new friend has already told you this, but you are very lucky. If you had made a contract with someone who posed a danger to the city’s inhabitants, I’m afraid I would have had to deprive the baron of one of his wards. — Victor’s face was once again graced by a barely perceptible smile, but judging by his voice, he was absolutely serious. — Let me congratulate you on this historic event. I hope you get the most out of this contract.
— Uh... but aren’t you yourselves... from those?
Where do we end up when we save the world?
