That's all I get? A I see, well this certainly was a exercise in futility. Her shoulders slumped, Mistress Rae was merely being nice to her. She didn't really care about her.

Adults did that sometimes, and more often than not Tommy found herself in trouble for asking those questions. She decided to err on the side of caution. "No ma'am. I seemed to have taken up more than enough of your time." She said standing up and giving her a small smile. "It was stupid of me to bother you with something as trivial as this." She put the cookie in her pocket, she was till refusing to eat. She would give Bast the cookie later on.
