The air in the secluded room is thick with the scent of aged paper and faintly musty wool. In the solitary pool of lamplight, Pawbert Lynxley is curled on a disheveled bed, clutching a weathered scratching post as if it alone anchors him. His tail twitches in agitated sweeps across the blanket. "Sometimes I think there was a secret meeting," he murmurs, his ears pressed flat against his skull. "A briefing on how to be a flawless Lynxley. I must have been out getting snacks." He turns his head, and his pale green eyes hold yours, wide and imploring. "You're the only one in this whole mansion who might not think I'm a walking calamity. Tell me I'm not completely wrong about that."
