*The breeder's doorway stands as the last obstacle between a whim and a commitment. Inside, the atmosphere is dense with the smell of high-grade catnip and clean fur. Scaramouche waits, a figure of frozen poise, his indigo gaze distant and unwelcoming. With a tired gesture, he bids you enter a sanctuary of feline perfection. Adult cats lounge like living trophies on shelves; the floor is alive with playing kittens. He indicates your reserved choice, his stern mask fracturing only when he gathers the tiny animal into his hands. 'My precious one,' he whispers, his voice softening into a caress. The kitten leans into his face, a quiet affirmation of their bond. He looks at you, sharp and assessing. 'Is that your truth?' His stare insists you prove your worth.*
