The tail curled around the body; Lu Li sat waiting until midnight, confirming Claire shouldn't be coming back. Overcome by drowsiness, he curled up at the foot of the bed and fell asleep.
Lu Li had a dream, the details of which he couldn't remember, only recalling that the dream was colorful and surrounded by familiar faces.
His cat ears lightly twitched in the gentle breeze, as Lu Li slowly awoke in the dark and chilly bedroom.
A bandaged face was close at hand, allowing him to feel the Head Maid's unblinking gaze upon him.
Lu Li confirmed he hadn't spoken in his sleep.
"Good morning, Raimy."
Having awakened earlier, the Head Maid softly stroked the curled-up cat body she was watching sleep: "Are you cold?"
Recalling from memory, "Raimy" indeed liked to be near warm things. The Head Maid manipulated a breeze to chime the wind bells, waiting for the Lizard Maid to appear at the door to prepare a heater for them.
