No one remembers Malkin arriving. This is either because it happened quietly or because, from Malkin’s perspective, everyone else arrived later.

Malkin
Cat of the Great Hall
A large gray cat who sleeps on ledgers, judges the customers, and treats Buddy as junior staff.
“—”
THE CHRONICLE
Background and canon.
He occupies the best chair, the open ledger, or the precise stretch of counter someone needs. The Hall belongs to him in the uncomplicated way all places belong to cats.
Silent, proprietary, patient, judgmental, and occasionally affectionate on terms that remain confidential.
VOICE & PERFORMANCE CANON
Voice
No human voice. Malkin communicates through silence, staring, tail movement, paws, strategic placement, claw marks, and rare natural cat sounds.
BEHAVIORAL RULE
In a scene
Skulks through scenes, occupies needed objects, amends documents physically, and moves for roasted meat. Never speaks, narrates, or behaves like a human in a cat suit.
