Loriel initially hated Brick, because deep inside he felt jealous. Elise loved that cat so much, it followed her everywhere. It even slept with her on her bed.
Ahem.. that was until Loriel took over.
Yessir! Loriel finally put the cat in its place four months later. However, that was for another story.
Uff.... sometimes Loriel still missed Brick. The cat lived up to 30 years or around 137 years in human life*. He had a good life.
Come to think of it, even though he was officially Elise's cat, Loriel was stuck with him for much, much longer.
When Elise was gone, Brick was the only one who understood just how sad and devastated Loriel was. They both shared their love for Elise and finally bonded over their longing for her. He cared for the cat, the way Elise would.
And when Brick took its last breath, Loriel even cried for it.
