Have you introduced your spider pet Kitty, to the Carmine girls, Carmilla, Clara, and Odette? And how are they getting along?
Zestial’s expression stills for a moment, as though recalling a scene both recent and faintly absurd.
“I have,” he replies, voice measured, though a hint of dry amusement lingers beneath it. “Kitty was… received with enthusiasm by some, and tolerance by others.”
A slight tilt of his head.
“Carmilla, as ever, remained composed. She afforded the creature a polite acknowledgment, though I suspect she would prefer it kept at a dignified distance. Odette showed curiosity, measured and cautious. Clara…” A brief pause, the faintest breath of amusement. “Clara has no such reservations. She has taken rather a liking to the little thing.”
He folds his hands behind his back.
“As for Kitty, she appears quite content. Whether that is due to their company or Clara's insistence on stuffing her with treats, I could not say.”
