OOM: After Carlotta's wedding
After he returns from Carlotta's wedding, Teja feels weary to the bone.
The unholy mess with Fern, and the need to avoid Demeter, have taken all the fight out of him, for the moment.
Upon returning, he doesn't go straight up to his room; he goes outside and sits on one of the lawn tables with a rough clay cup of mead beer, looking at the night sky while drinking quietly.
From somewhere out of the night, a small grey cat comes to casually sit beside him.
He picks up the cat, and holds him in his arms, and buries his face in the soft face for a moment.
Count smells of hay and of horses, and of the forge-fire.
