Oh. [Matoba's mouth falls again to a tiny frown.] That is unfortunate.

[He turns as the staffmember approaches and orders himself a strawberry shortcake and a cup of darjeeling tea. He waits for Kai to make an order and for the staffmember to leave again before answering- addressing what is, perhaps, the great elephant crowding the cats in the room.]

Yes. A consequence of my hereditary state. [Matoba's hand raises to the spell covering his right eye- from it, there is always an unsettling vibe, like the thread of something connected to it by fate that could bring ruin at any time.] There's a curse passed down through all heads of my clan. Quite the nasty one at that. Perhaps you will come across it, sometime? It comes to take a swipe at me once a month. Oh, but it has already come this month, so you will have to wait until the next time.

[He glances across the room at the gathering of cats being enjoyed by other attendees.] Cats are but one of the beasts in the world with a heightened sensitivity to the supernatural. It grants them a certain self-preservation instinct. I don't blame them for it one bit.

Although, I wish it weren't so. [He allows himself a tiny sigh. But, there's nothing to be done about it.] I very much like cats. You have taken an excellent form.
