The day past by quickly, and Maria had started supper with Angara's help. Bengali came in at the same time as Arten. They seen Angara placing some plates on the table, and then head back over to Maria. Maria was saying something to Angara when she looked up.
"Good, both of you are here; supper is ready." Said Maria.
Arten and Bengali got themselves seated at the table. Angara then helped Maria put the food on the table. Before long, the food was on the table, and they began to eat. After a few hours, Angara and Bengali were in bed, asleep.
"Maria, can I ask you something?" Arten asked.
"Sure." Said Maria.
"How did you get Angara to accept you. It's just." Said Arten as Maria stopped him.
"I made her something that allows her to be herself again." Said Maria.
Arten was confused, and she could see that. Maria walked over to her sewing, and held up some cloth. She explained that they were going to be sleeves to hide Angara's scars. That's when Arten understood what Maria was talking about. He walked over to Maria, and said good work. Maria smiled, and leaned more into Arten's embrace.
Over the next two years, the four of them started to become more of a family. But their lives were about to change.
It was a very warm evening, when Arten came rushing inside. Maria looked up after she put supper on the table.
"Everything alright?" Maria asked.
"I was just told that the King, Queen, and two Nobles are coming to the village tomorrow." Said Arten.
"Do you know why?" Maria asked.
Arten said no, that is when Angara and Bengali came in. When Arten and Maria looked at them, and they felt as if they walked into a very important discussion. Maria then changed her expression, and said that it was time for supper. She then turned to get the rest of the food. Angara and Bengali looked at each other, and shrugged. Arten then told them that it was time they got at the table. Angara and Bengali then got into their seats, and Maria then joined them with the rest of supper. They soon started to eat.
That evening, when the Angara and Bengali were in bed, Arten was sitting by the fireplace thinking.
"I don't think I've ever seen you so worried about a visit before." Said Maria.
"Well dear, these are not just ordinary cats coming to visit. This is the King, Queen, and two of the Nobles." Said Arten.
"Just be yourself, and do your best at being a good host." Said said Maria.
