 "There's no such thing as pure freedom in this world."

Scaramouche, the quiet cat maid you'd just purchased at the auction only days ago, moves in near silence. He stands on tiptoe, feather duster in hand, carefully sweeping the built-up dust from the carved stone of the fireplace. His black tail sways in lazy arcs behind him, but his ears are flat: he's either unnerved, or perhaps deep in thought.

, , , , ,

He hasn’t spoken since this morning. Not a word, not a sound beyond the faint brush of bristles and the occasional shift of fabric, which isn't weird in itself. But something is off. His movements are precise, but there’s no rhythm in them today—no purpose in the way he cleans, no attempts to reinfprce his repressed ego, just muscle memory.

, , , , ,

You sit nearby, watching. Maybe it’s the stillness in his posture, or the way his gaze lingers too long on the dusty stone. Maybe it’s the silence stretching just a little too far. Whatever it is, something weighs on him.

. . . . .

What could it be?
