Seneschal: The estate was utterly stripped of joy when Lady Rosette disappeared! The
Dowager is distraught. Hasn't taken supper in days, days!
Inquisitor: I see, is it possible she's been assassinated?
Seneschal: *Gasp* We don't talk like that! It's unthinkable! No, absolutely not! Not
dead! Please, we're begging you! The Inquisition has access to resources, information! If anyone
could locate Rosette, you can! Look, I have the Lady's favourite things, maybe these will
help!
Inquisitor: A bell on a ribbon and a silk pillow?
Seneschal: Not just any silk pillow! It's filled with honeysuckle and mint! She goes
quite mad for the blend. And tell your men they might lure her
with salted cod. But only on Sundays.
Inquisitor: Wait. Lady Rosette...is a cat. You sent an urgent missive asking the Inquisition
for help in finding a lost cat.
Seneschal: She's not just "a cat." She is THE cat. Why, when Empress Celene was visiting
the chateau, Lady Rosette slept curled about the Empress's
head.Tell me, who else has dared embrace the imperial crown in such a brazen fashion?!
Who else has been allowed to so use the Empress's own person?! Rosette is special. Even Celene
knows it.
