Roland closed his eyes for a moment, then looked over towards the cat after Ardyn did. While the man spoke, he watched the cat, noting that it was very healthy and had a nice shine to its coat, was well fed, and not mutated. It had been a long time since he'd seen a non-mutie cat. It was a handsome cat, so far as they went. Again he had to wonder why own a pet you hate? But he didn't think Ardyn was apt to give any more clear of an answer. He spoke in riddles too, just like Walter.

He took a gulp of coffee this time, as it had cooled enough to do so. Roland looked up to Ardyn and he thought a moment and then nodded in agreement. "I do not know if my ka even has a beam to follow on these worlds. I... would think so. Yet, I feel nothing. I have no sense of purpose." Which sounded more depressing than it maybe actually was. Or maybe, it was exactly that depressing.

Roland finished off his coffee suddenly and he sat up straighter while unfolding his legs. "Thankee, sai, for the coffee. I would continue our palaver if you would pour me another cup?"
