Episode 10 - Chapter 61

 Fiona stood by the table, stroking a cat with each hand. Or was it two girls? It was pretty hard to tell, to be honest, because both seemed to occupy the same space: cat and girl. With one glance you saw two cats, each stretching upwards to meet the affectionate hand. Blink, and the view changed to two girls, Fiona stroking the tops of their heads.

My wife was mumbling meaningless platitudes to the cats as stroked them. “There, there,” she was saying, “There's nothing to worry about here.” But her eyes....her eyes were very firmly directed at Strauss. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but she looked very, very serious.

Strauss, on the other hand, just stood there. They'd flinched, recoiled even, when the cat hissed at them, but now they just stood still.


“If you have finished tending to your...pets,” the voice of Water splashed, “Maybe you would like to finish addressing this council?”
