My owners arrived at Lunch and Master Kein escorted my tutors out. Everyone tried to keep Master Damien distracted until the men were gone, his temper was threatening to burst out of control.

They did have a surprise for me, one they had been carefully hiding all morning. I hadn’t sensed anything about it from them.

“Only I looked at it,” he explained grinning, but I still didn’t know what it was. Christof was very good at keeping secrets. Usually that irritated Damien, but it had been fun today.
