章 1801: Shifting gears (2)

Sarah and Igor made their way through the garden and ended up on a bench that is facing the lake.

"How are you doing?", Sarah asked.

Igor's eyes darted anxiously between Kitty, Atlas, and Vega who were around Sarah protectively, and they also rubbed on Sarah's legs and hands while asking for head scratches. Sarah told Igor that three leopards are her pets and that they are friendly, but Igor was unable to relax.

"Fine. Everyone is…", Igor paused while looking for the right word. "…kind."

Sarah smiled. "Does that make you uncomfortable?"

Igor tilted his head while thinking. "May I speak freely?"

"Please. If you say or ask something you shouldn't I will let you know."

"I feel like I entered a cult."

Sarah's eyes widened at this and she waited for Igor to explain his statement.
