[There is a small, slim, and unfamiliar black cat walking the Barge this weekend. A familiar item hangs around his neck: two coins fused together by supernatural strength, hung on a leather thong. With it, the cat seems to pass freely throughout the ship, though he clings to shadows in the hallways.]

[Most often, he can be found in common rooms, curled up on the best chair and watching the goings-on with barely-open yellow eyes. In the gardens, he naps in the flower beds and climbs into the thickest parts of low-growing trees. Here and there he can be found in boxes where he probably isn't supposed to be, seeming to look for small spaces and pressing himself into corners.]

[He also makes his best efforts to trip people, looking incredibly smug with every success.]

[Don't ask how he got in here. Some things it's better not to question. But he's found Vesper's paperwork, which is suddenly the most fascinating and important thing in the world.]

[Whenever she comes back, he's rolling on his back in the middle of a mess of papers. Which are his now.]

I was just talking about the differences between my world and the world this book has come from, that's all. [There'd be little point in killing him. Francis isn't a message-sending murderer, he kills people purely to protect himself.]

[patheticvillain]

[People always look for the differences rather than the similarities, it seems like. Cassel doesn't say that, just nods.]

So which one do you like better?

[mightthinkthat]

[If he had, Francis would have pointed out that that was the initial intention, before he realised the similarities were scarce on the ground.]

My own, naturally.
