Early morning.
"Squeak, squeak..."
Stepping down the stairs, Richard and Pandora descended the staircase, Richard leading the way and Pandora following behind, constantly muttering things like "five times five is twenty-five." After much effort throughout the night, the Five-character table had successfully passed inspection, but to prevent forgetting, she had to keep recalling it.
Amidst her muttering, as they descended the stairs, Richard glanced across the tavern's hall and noticed the Divination Woman he had met last night. She was sitting at a table, continually turning her head around as if she were looking for something.
Richard approached and asked, "Have you lost something?"
Upon hearing Richard's voice, the Divination Woman suddenly turned her head to look at him, stared directly into Richard's eyes, and after a long gaze, she spoke through clenched teeth, "I've lost my beloved pet."
