When Ves finally made contact with Ketis by remote, the latter looked a little glum.
This was a rather uncharacteristic appearance from the young Journeyman. Ketis had always been positive, upbeat and confident about herself and her future.
Yet now, Ketis' mood and posture made no attempts to hide her disappointment.
"Meow."
Lucky, who had previously been resting on Ves' desk, noticed the swordmaster's depression. The gem cat jumped from his perch and flew over to the physical projection of the Swordmaiden mech designer.
The arrival of the cat succeeded in lifting her mood, if only by a small extent.
"Oh, hey, Lucky. It has been a long time since we met each other." Ketis said as she held the gem cat in her arms. "How are you doing as of late? Are Ves and Gloriana's children keeping you company?"
"Meow meow meow."
Ketis spent a little time indulging herself in cat therapy before she shifted her attention back to Ves.
