They carefully slipped out of the room and wandered downstairs, following the sounds of Phoenix, Alexander and Lyov's voices, until they came across a group playing a card game with a curious Snowball perched on top of the table.
Snowball's paws batted at one of Lyov's cards, pulling it away from his hands.
"Hey! Little devil!" The blonde hissed at the kitten.
Snowball simply stared innocently, lifting his chin, as if to imply it wasn't his fault that Lyov had poor reflexes.
"Little shit..." The knight muttered darkly.
Snowball gave an airy mew that implied 'well, excuse me!', his ears twitching irritably.
Lyov sighed heavily as he retrieved the missing card. "Honestly, what possessed you to bring a cat to a card game?" He asked of Phoenix with mild irritation.
Phoenix chuckled. "I think Snowball makes it all quite amusing!"
Snowball's tail twitched with pride, seeming quite satisfied with being considered such fun to be around.
