Perry seemed well-cared for. [ as in, well, fat, much in the way of a very happy cat. kaveh has seen those. sumeru doesn't lack in happy cats, and people happy to spoil them. ] I had an assistant of a sorts - Mehrak.

A mere ponytail wouldn't do, and you'll need your back bare for how low it's cut. You can leave that up to me, though. I wouldn't trust you with an iron.
