I was ruining my dinner by eating buttered toast and hazelnut confit when I saw your response. It's a good thing I stopped and finished eating before coming back to read this for I would surely have spit out both breadcrumbs and tea!
I'm still laughing at the exchange about the Great Cats. As Peter and Dalia would surely object, I bet the Wolves will not like to be classified as Dogs either. What would Lambert and Briony say?
So a further point, perhaps....
Evil Banker Morgan surely deserved her epithet. She may not be accustomed to being social around humans, but she knew exactly how to get her way with this particular one and that was all that mattered. Somewhere in the back of Edmund's head, his imagination just awarded a victorious point in her favor.
"What about the Dogs, Lady Morgan?"
The King pulled his gaze away from his the Banker and turned to his loyal Guard. He could sense his imagination sagging in defeat as his intellect cheered upon this unexpected turn of events. "What about them, Jalur?" he asked a bit forcefully; his imagination was trying to pull his thoughts away from Canines and back on the Evil Banker.
"Surely, the Wolves will not wish to be classified with the Dogs, and the same may be said of the Hounds as well."
"Quite so," Jina put in as she paused from licking her paw. She looked to her charge. "I suggest you discuss this with Lambert and Briony, Lady Morgan. As the High King would not like his guards to not be Great Cats, the Queens' guards would surely take offense to being labeled Dogs as well."
