Chapter 11: Solitary Man
"Kati..." the man kissed her upon each cheek, french style, then moved to Lili and did the same, "Lilane... to what honor does this solitary man have to be graced with your beautiful presence today?" Kati held up two fingers as the man eyed Kagome suspiciously. "Is she safe?"
Liliane draped her arm over Kagome's shoulder and pulled her in close, hugging her, "Of course! Would we bring her here, Rolf, if she wasn't?" she said cheerfully.
Rolf's eyes darted to Kati who simply crossed her arms over her chest, clearly letting him know he already had his answer. Rolf cleared his throat awkwardly before gesturing towards the large table. Lili skipped over and took a seat, Kati walked slowly but didn't sit, and Rolf sat across from Lili, leaving Kagome standing there looking like a fool. Slowly she walked over and stood next to Kati.
"So two you say? What are you in the market for this time?"
"Daddy needs a new one to tend the grounds around the manor. The other, is up to Kagome, it's our birthday gift to her." Kati said casually as she examined her nails.
