Kurumi made her way down towards the kitchens with her cookie recipe notebook tucked under her arm...and a rather large cat that was not a Walnut hugged tightly to her chest. She had been very surprised to see Vanilla at the foot of her bed that morning, and no matter what she did the feline refused to leave. She didn't even do so when Walnut had pranced out of the room - which may have hurt the cat's pride a little. Seeing as she needed to head down to the kitchens anyway, Kurumi figured that she would bring Lewis' cat along with her and return her. He was probably worried sick about her, and Kurumi didn't like seeing him worried.

Standing in front of the still-life, Kurumi was about to tickle the pear to allow herself in, when she found that her arms were too full of cat to be able to do so. She would have set the feline down and done so, but she was afraid that the cat would take off and get lost again in the castle. So, instead of doing anything productive, she leaned against the wall holding Vanilla and waited for him to walk by. He had to eventually, right?

Kurumi's heart began to race at the thought of seeing Lewis again. After her conversation with Treyen - which had left her very confused about more than one thing - she wasn't entirely sure how to act around him...or if she should even be around him. Maybe it was a mistake waiting here. She didn't want to hurt him and, well, not remembering something as important as a kiss was going to...if it hadn't already.

Her right hand trailed up to her lips and touched them softly and it was in that position, Vanilla purring in her arms, that she waited.
