With so many people now packed into the rooms around the Coven Leader's room, Reiko was beginning to wonder what it would be like for her to have to travel. The Council would insist that she brought her advisors along, and security, and probably some of her husbands. She would have an even larger retinue than Wolfe travelled with, and that was after he had called for his advisors, who had brought staff and friends.
Why they had brought a child and a cat was a bit of a mystery to Reiko, who had been separated before Stephanie had first chosen to return to her human form. She was still under the impression that she was a Familiar Cat, and didn't know the backstory behind the friendly feline's childhood.
A childhood that Stephanie was determined not to get into. Especially now that she was here in her hometown, but her family was gone, having fled during the rebellion.
