There was a job a few months back, and part of the reward was a griffon's egg that you could sell or eat or hatch as you pleased. I chose to keep mine and nurture it. It'll be years and years before she's mount-sized, but I'm not particularly bothered about that. If I need a mount, I can find another one or rent one.
[ When she has the chance. He remembers her life for a moment, taking into account the number of lives she's taken. It should have been difficult for her, but he still can't bring himself to process it at an emotional level. The fact that he's talking to someone who's killed before, that is.
Either way, those things don't matter in this world. At her essence, Hakuno is kind. ]
It's a beautiful name.
[ It's fancy and to his taste. ]
My friend named my cat back home as well. Elizabeth the 3rd.
[Granted, she's beginning to suspect Jumin would think this Elizabeth was a regal cat if she had three legs and a ratty coat, so that might not be saying much.]
But, they call female cats 'queens' anyways, don't they?
Yes... [ He preens. ] My Elizabeth is a queen in every sense of the word. With eyes a deep blue like the vast ocean and fur as white as the winter snow, she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
[ Right. That's what it is. It's not the same love Rika wishes he would find, but it keeps him going. Can a cat and a dog here do the same? He wonders. ]
Yes... Of course.
[ Back to business. ]
I do not usually call people to solely talk about my cat. I apologize if that was rude of me.
I don't think it's rude at all. If you want to call just to gush about cats or Carriers, then that's fine all on its own. I don't think it's wrong to just call to talk about things you like or enjoy, really.
What I mean is, does it need to be scheduled because you have something else pressing to do instead, or because you don't know how long the conversation will take?

He is Napoleon. Incidentally, my Carrier's name is Catherine the Great.
[ So... It's an ordinary cat. Can Jumin afford it? He's taking it out of his living expenses. ]

[She switches to video as well, and he gets to see a cute fledgling griffon curled up in her lap.
...also, what living expenses, Cumin, the Hall of Glory doesn't charge rent.]
And this is Kulianna—Kuli for short.

But he's impressed by her naming sense, to say the least. ]
... Fascinating. I've read about the griffons in this world, but I've never seen one before. Where did you find her?

Francis Xavier was a missionary—the first Jesuit. Kulianna is...?

[She's killed enough, she thinks. But she knows she'll kill more still, because Noir isn't an enemy that affords hesitation or mercy very often.]
It's a Sumerian name that Gilgamesh helped me pick out. It means 'friend of heaven'.
