2.5: You Are Cordially Beknighted
Upon hearing the meow and seeing the wiggle, Freyr approached the box and peered at it. Making sure it had air holes, mostly. Smuggling a kitten, it sounded like, was usually done less openly, mostly because the cargo was not known for its discretion. Upon confirming that there was enough air flow for the tiny creature inside, she stood back up and gave Enid a nod of approval. "Forgive me, but this package made a very convincing imitation of something else," she said, clearly not fooled at all. However, she was the highest ranking noble present, so since she said it was not suspicious, the package was definitely not suspicious.
There was absolutely nothing suspicious about a package that was shifting slightly and about to tip over until Freyr slid it back in place. It clearly was not a request by Meara - that datapad had already been purchased - so it must be her betrothed who requested it. She could not think of anyone else brazen enough to attempt such a thing so close to the wedding. The question remained, however, who the kitten was for. Meara? Nay, while she loved all creatures more than most, she was more of a dog person, since sitting still was not her thing. Also raising a pet from childhood took more patience and time than she suspected Meara had at the moment and while she was not one to often think before she acted, Meara at least put others before herself and had always made sure anything or anyone directly under her care was taken care of properly. Irina? Probably not. The young woman was brilliant, and would appreciate a cat, certainly, but that would mean as a gift from Gwydion, and that did not seem likely. It must be for the older sister, Iliza.
Also, there was the ominous message she received from Meara a day prior that simply read "I didn't do it" without any context, and since Meara was an atrocious liar, she knew that if it had been her, the 'cargo' would have been mentioned specifically in the denial.
"Best make sure this package arrives before it is too late."
