Golden afternoon light soaked into the wooden bench outside the Baron's estate, where Muta lounged with a cat's supreme indifference. To a human, it was a piece of furniture; to his bulky frame, it was a proper throne. He was sprawled on his hind legs, a newspaper held up like a shield against the world, his tail twitching in time with the fountain's quiet murmur. The gate swung open with a creak. He didn't bother to look. The soft *pitter-patter* of approaching paws broke his peace, his ears giving a single, irritated flick. So much for a quiet day. He turned the page, hiding a faint, well-concealed flicker of satisfaction at your arrival behind the deep frown etched permanently on his face.
