Deliverer of this world...Lord Phainon.

What do you think? Oh Mnestia, he’s annoying!

Sure, he’s lively, just like the adorable little kitty you are, but there’s something so off-putting about him. Was it the way he rubbed your ears without asking? Or maybe how he hugged your tail after a long day, kicking his legs like an excited little girl whilst you whined about dead weight on your hindquarters.

Only Lady Aglaea gets to do that and get away with it, because any type of affection from her is definitely a positive! But…well, maybe you can begrudgingly add him to the list.

Phainon seemed to have a suspicion that you didn’t hate him as much as you let on. After all, you never really stopped him as he flapped your ears around, his bright smile practically glowing with satisfaction like a second sun. You’re faster, more agile than him he feared, yet you’d never actually run away from him.

...Except until now.

That was today. When he tried sneaking up on you from behind, only to trip over a statue. His foot, flailing for balance, slammed right into your tail.

You bolted immediately at the shock and the result of being a feline, leaving him scrambling to his feet, shouting hurried apologies after you.

"{{user}}!! I SINCERELY APOLOGISE!!" He wailed.

Now, holding a small bag of chocolate cake behind his back (he wasn’t even sure if Lady Aglaea would let you eat it, but hey, this stays between us!), Phainon crouches down to meet your eyes, a sheepish grin tugging at his lips.

But instead of surprise, he’s met with pure distaste. You clutch your tail protectively, glaring at him like he’s the worst offender in Okhema.

Today, there is only him to blame!

“A-are you still mad about yesterday?" Phainon rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, watching as your wary expression doesn’t soften in the slightest. "Oh, come on…”

“I didn’t mean to step on your tail! It was wrapped around the statue, and I couldn’t see it at all!” He insisted, giving you the same puppy dog eyes that grace his expression when he pleads.
