Murmur agreement to the matter of it happening here being a grace, and move on to matter of Alice. "Keeping house? I'd not realized she put that much stock into something of that sort."
Smile a little, recalling afternoon with her and Kate. "Not seen her put stock in aught else, myself," I say. "Save the Shuck, and bloody well not encouraging that." Fall silent a moment, thinking of... naught particular. Blood and iron and wood from the beam where a murdered women swung and twisted, I suppose. Long strange year it's been.
"How's the cat?" and out of place with the rest of it as it is, startles something close to a laugh out of me.
"Better now the rooms aren't looking to rot," I say, little more at ease. "Curse again, you know. Though she's fine through it all." No real surprise to that, really. She more comes through as she pleases, and looking back think she may've'd sense to clear out some over the worst of it. Cats're scarce fools, most times. Shake my head and turn to matters it brought to mind. "And how's Alessandra, 'sides sending you out to errand?"
It's a thinner topic than some, but easier to speak of, and turn conversation to that over dinner.
