| Luna had just appeared in a strange new kingdom. This place was her new assignment. She had been given the task of being an advisor to Queen Serenity. The Queen Serenity. It was such an honor to be selected as one of two from Mau to help advise the Queen. The moon kingdom was as beautiful as she imagined it would be. Luna smiled to herself. She was waiting for the other cat from Mau to meet her, before they would go to the Queen and introduce herself. She was early as usual, punctuality was always important, especially with royalty. While she stood there, she wondered what the other cat would be like. What was his name again? "Artemis?" She said to no one in particular. |

Artemis did his best to keep his facial expression neutral, rather than prominently displaying the frown he so very much felt like making. It kept creeping back if he didn't concentrate hard enough, tugging at the corners of his mouth, dragging them down. As if his mouth had anything to complain about—this entire situation was dragging him down. His white paws padded gently across the polished marble floors of this strange new place, but he felt like stomping with great heaving footfalls. It would have been totally inappropriate, but it might have relieved some stress.
This was not the way his life was supposed to have gone, not at all! He had all the start of a truly noteworthy career on Mau. His name in the news and on the lips of very important people, his hard work finally recognized after years of endless effort... and all of it so that he could be shipped off to a totally unknown world to serve as an adviser to a woman he didn't even know. She wasn't even from Mau!
He knew he was being ungenerous; that nagging sense of being frustrated, of having the cozy life he dreamed of suddenly turned upside-down, rankled him. He knew that this assignment was, in fact, an honor—just not the kind of honor he had hoped for. Artemis couldn't let his feelings get in the way of what he had been tasked with; it would reflect poorly on him and all that he represented. He had to set it aside. He'd let himself have these thoughts, during this walk, but then he'd have to move on.
The white cat managed to keep himself so wrapped up in his head that he didn't immediately notice how close he was to his destination—but his head snapped up, turning almost like that of a soldier suddenly called to arms, when he heard his voice.
"Yes?" he replied, almost automatically. He didn't realize at first that he was looking at another cat, another citizen of Mau, for a second or two. His brain lagged somewhere behind him, bogged down by his worries and griefs from just moments before.
"Oh!" the tomcat exclaimed somewhat awkwardly, his flushed cheeks betraying his embarrassment at having been distracted, even as he tried to hide it. "Um, yes. I am Artemis. You must be Luna, correct? Nice to meet you."
As he let his tongue take control, chattering through the introduction the way he always did when there were needs for conversation to fill an empty space of silence, he took the opportunity to really look at the young woman he'd be working alongside. She seemed of average size, roughly the same as his own, with darker, sleeker violet fur. It was an interesting shade, more unique than the usual "black cat". Her eyes were round and bright, with a sharpness to them that indicated a quick intellect. That was a relief! They'd be here for a while, it seemed; the figure before him didn't look like the sort of cat who would shirk her duties. He appreciated that. He didn't mind doing work, but he didn't particularly like picking up slack left by others. |

| Luna's head snapped up when she heard a voice respond to her question. She was surprised, she hadn't been expecting anyone to respond to her. She looked at the young man she'd be working with. He was a white cat, about her size. "Yes." She said to him, "It's nice to meet you too." She took a deep breath, they'd be meeting the Queen soon. So many thoughts swarmed inside her head, what would she be like? Would they get along? Would she even get along with Artemis? She looked at the tomcat again and this time really looked at him, taking in all she could. "Artemis." She said, "Are you as nervous as I am about meeting the Queen? To be honest, I was honored to be chosen for this and I feel I'm qualified, but it also scares me. What if I make a mistake?" |

"Nervous?" Artemis repeated, somewhat surprised. "Well, it's always a bit unsettling to do something new. I'm not familiar with this place or their customs, other than the quick briefing before we came here. I suppose you got the same information—not much to work off, is it?"
He offered a warm-hearted smile, hoping to put the other cat at ease. It wasn't really a shock to find themselves kind of tossed in. They were both government employees, at this point, of a sort, weren't they? Both on Mau and here on the Moon. (What a strange name for a planet...) Artemis couldn't say this was the first time he'd found himself in such a position, but he knew that he planned to do what he always did: give it a try and hope for the best!
This Luna, however, she seemed pretty wound up about it. Must be one of those "worrier" types.
"If we make mistakes, we just have to apologize and learn from them. No one's perfect," he said, another smile with the tilt of his head. Of course, he had a pretty long history of mistakes... but it hadn't really hindered him so far!
"Think it's time to head in? We might as well put our best paws forward!" |

| Luna listened to Artemis as he spoke. He was correct to a point, it was okay to be nervous in a new place without knowing the customs and their briefing certainly wasn't much when it came to information. He smiled at her and she sheepishly smiled back. Artemis would be working side by side with her and she really did want to get along with him, but he seemed to be taking this not as seriously as he should. " Yes I suppose we all make mistakes, but I believe one should always strive for perfection." Luna said to Artemis, hoping that would remind him of just how high the stakes were with this assignment. " Alright Artemis." Luna said to the tomcat, "I agree let us go in, best paws forward" She nodded at him and then took a step into her new life. She was going to make the cats at home proud and continue to be the best she could be. |

"Strive for perfection", huh? Definitely a worrier. Artemis could almost feel those piercing eyes on him, judging his own sense of seriousness. Which, admittedly, was pretty lacking. After all, stress shortened your life! No need to volunteer for something like that. It was easy enough to feel pressure from all kinds of outwardly-imposed limits; adding a few more for himself wouldn't do him any favors.
Well, maybe they didn't see eye-to-eye on this, but he felt sure that wouldn't be a huge problem. If anyone was going to fuss about it, it wouldn't be him! Despite his earlier grousing on his way here, his mood now lifted and everything seemed filled with possibilities. Might as well ride that wave while he could.
At least they wouldn't be waiting out here all day. When Luna replied and nodded, he followed suit. They'd meet this unfamiliar "Queen Serenity" side-by-side. |

| After meeting Queen Serenity for the first time Luna was in awe. This woman was so powerful, strong, and elegant. It was an immense honor to work beside her. That was cemented more in her mind after they met. As they were being shown to their rooms by a servant, Luna spoke to Artemis. "Artemis. What did you think of the Queen?" She hoped to see more of a resolve from him, even with his laid back attitude. Things could change in an instant here and they'd have a heck of a learning curve ahead of them. The fact that she could expand her knowledge of other kingdoms was wonderful. Luna loved learning and she felt she could grow so much here. It was strange, she was super lost in her own thoughts that she almost forgot that she was walking to her room and should have been learning the way. They stopped in front of what would be her room, and Luna felt like she'd get lost here so easily. |

He felt slightly taken aback by the soft question, partially because he didn't really expect to be asked it and partially because he was still deciding what he thought of her. She cut a formidable figure, pristine and graceful despite her somewhat-diminutive stature and kind smile. When he watched the servants and others present in the hall, he felt somewhat surprised by their attentiveness to the monarch. They demonstrated loyalty and deference that he expected in this kind of structure, but he found few hints of dissent or displeasure; that surprised him. Everyone they met so far genuinely appeared to love and respect their queen. It wasn't unheard of, but it certainly wasn't common.
"Well, we don't really know her just yet," he replied, careful with his words, knowing they were still being observed by the workers in the castle. "She seems capable—very confident and at ease, too." Those weren't always seen together.
"What did you think?" |

| Luna smiled at Artemis. "Yes she is very confident and collected. I can see how other around her admire her. You are right. We don't know her yet. I look forward to getting to know her." She turned and smiled at Artemis again. She was going to go and explore her room before dinner with the queen. "Artemis. I think we have so much more to learn here than I ever expected. I know we will be spending a lot of time together, it wouldn't hurt to get to know each other more. Would you sit next to me at dinner?" |

He almost chuckled aloud at the question, but he got the feeling he wouldn't appreciate it—that she might think he was laughing at her. It wasn't that he thought it was silly or stupid, just endearing in its straightforward honesty. Artemis rather expected that they'd be assigned places at dinner, probably next to each other, but clearly Luna did not. Now he found himself wondering which of their forecasts would be more accurate. He usually felt fairly confident when entering an unfamiliar situation, or at least enough to "fake it 'til you make it". He found himself earnestly wanting to learn more about this other feline. They were both from Mau, that was true, but they didn't seem to have as much in common as he initially thought they might.
"Of course," he replied with a grin, turning to head to his own room. "See you then, Luna!" |

| Luna smiled when Artemis replied to her question. She couldn't help it, as much as this other cat from Mau was a puzzle, sometimes too overconfident, and definitely too laid back for her liking, it seemed they could learn many things from each other. "Thank you Artemis." Luna said, "I look forward to it." She smiled and then went to her room. It was going to be a long day. "Maybe I should take a nap." Luna said to herself. She then curled up in a ball on her bed and closed her eyes. After a quiet knock on the door, Luna opened her eyes. A maid was sent to wake her and bring her to dinner. "I'll be right there." She said. She padded over to the door and was ready to face more of the people of the Moon Kingdom. There was plenty to learn here, and she wasn't sure what to expect. She never worked with royalty before, she was a confident, smart woman and this was her dream. As she walked down the hall she looked over to see if Artemis would be walking with her. |
