"I have a few unrelated questions and requests that I was hoping you could help me with," Alex said.
Lady Ren looked at him curiously with an amused look on her face. "Requests? I didn't think you would be bold enough for that. But still, go ahead. If it's something I can give easily, I will. Don't try to push your luck though," she said.
"I promise, I won't," Alex said. He quickly brought out a storage bag and stopped. "Um, is there someplace where you wouldn't mind having your floors destroyed?"
The jaguar and puma looked at Alex weirdly, while Lady Ren still had her amused face with her. It even looked like she was enjoying it all.
"If you can put a single dent on this marble, I will fulfill whatever these requests of yours are," Lady Ren said.
