Rowan was in the kitchen, happily reading a book and petting Grim, who was stretched out on the kitchen table. Approximately thirty pounds of cat took up quite a bit of room, especially when sprawled out the way he was currently.

The sound of someone popping out of her fireplace in the dining room next door to the kitchen was enough to make her jump a little, even if she was expecting her friend to come over. Grim stayed where he was as Meka called out her greeting, but Rowan went to stand up and head around the table, saying "Hey! I'm in here."
