The Annoying Receptionist

Actually, Loriel had three cats. They followed him everywhere he went when he moved to a new place. The oldest one just passed away last year after living with him for 25 years. Her name was Brick. 

The other two were Brick's sons. Loriel named them Pot and Pebble. Pot was completely black and Pebble was completely brown.

Loriel was so proud of the names. Unlike Elise who sucked at naming, he actually intentionally named the black cat Pot, from the saying 'Pot calling the kettle Black'.

Get it?

Pot and Pebble were the laziest cats he had ever met in his life and he loved them to death.

"They seem to like you," said Loriel with a smile.

"They do? Well, I like them too. They are beautiful!" said Elise.

She patted both cats with her hands. She was smiling so broadly when Pot and Pebble rubbed their heads on her knees affectionately. It looked like they understood how she just called them beautiful.
