Once the four people were seated around the campfire, Shard didn't immediately start talking. Instead, he took off his coat in front of the three women and laid it over the hands clutching the Mia Cat doll. Removing the coat, the small orange cat appeared, hugging Shard's arm.
The ruddy gold flames illuminated Mia's orange and white fur. The domestic pet cat, finding itself in the unfamiliar environment of the forest, looked around in panic and then let out a "meow" at the three women by the campfire as a form of intimidation.
The witches all smiled at the tiny orange cat. The charm of cats was just as effective in the Fifth Era, but little Mia only liked Shard.
Shard plucked the cat embracing his arm and placed it on his shoulder. He scratched its chin with his fingers before finally raising his head to look at the three unfamiliar women.
