(Baron's pov)

'Good evening,' I greeted the human girl who was five times my size. 'welcome to the Bureau.'

'Wow... Oh! Sorry...' the girl mumbled and squatted down to reach my height. 'You look... really cool.'

'Thank you.' I took the compliment. 'In case you haven't noticed, you are now in a world quite different your own.

'This is a refuge for creations.' I explained clearly. 'When someone creates something with all their heart, then that creation has been given a soul, you see. Like me, and Toto over there.'

The gargoyle from behind shines blindly bright. Within a second, Toto has awoken at the moment he was mentioned.

'Holy god-' the human girl gasps in awe.

'That is Toto.' I told the girl. 'He is a stone statue with soul.'

'I see you got a visitor, Baron.' said Toto. 'How unusual.'

'Indeed, she's quite a charming one too.'

'Sorry, I'm wrong but,' the girl interjected. 'did he say your name is "Baron"? As in, "Baron Humbert von Gikkingen"?'

'Have we met before?' I asked, stunned of how she knew my name.

'Yeah, I think I used to come across you in an antique shop that belongs to my friend's grandfather.' she said. 'But you look kind of... different. Also, you're a real cat? I thought you were a figurine.'

'Hm, interesting.' I nodded. 'Now, let's get down to business. You say you were having trouble with the cats of the Cat Kingdom?'

'Oh yeah, that.' sighed the girl. 'Well, you see, I thought they might've put catnip in the pockets of my uniform which caused my brother and I got chased by a horde of strays this morning; my locker was stuffed with boxes of mice; oh yes, and my house's surrounded by cattails from front to back which was frustrating because I'm allergic to them.

'I only saved their prince from getting rammed over by a truck yesterday and now the Cat Kingdom won't stop repaying me. If only they knew they're just making life harder for me.' her voice drops volume as she says the last part.

'Ha!' wheezed Muta, he got off of his chair and slammed his newspaper on the exact area where he was sitting. 'Serves you right. So you helped the poor kitty, did you?'

The girl raised a brow and blinked. 'So?'

'You shoulda minded your own business, lady.' huffed Muta.

'Muta, what the hell is your problem? This girl saved one of your own kind. You should be thankful, you idiot.' said Toto. He flew over Muta's head and landed over at the balcony.

' "Idiot"?' said Muta repeatedly. 'She got herself in trouble for it, didn't she? She's stupid, that's all I'm saying.'

'Okay, listen here, you little furball-' the girl began, clearly offended, but I cut her off.

'And where did you come across her, Muta?' I asked thoughtfully.

'We've met before and then she disappears for four years and saw me around the crossroads. She asked the Cat Bureau because she said some voice told her to come here.' Muta explained.

'A voice?' I questioned curiously.

'Yeah, kid's hearing voices.' he then turns to the girl. 'Go get yourself a therapist, chicky. Don't bother us with your- AH OWW!'

Toto attacked Muta, causing him to stagger backwards.

'Knock it off!' demanded Muta angrily.

'You knock it off! Quit being so catty!'
