Hey, I know I said one more question, but... I feel kind of bad, going on about where I'm from and not asking you. I know you've said you've worked here for a while, but what were you doing before all this?
Why feel bad? I'm the one who asked and your school sounds interesting even if it's...kind of scary. [Haha. But she swishes her tail a bit at the question.]
We've been working for Master Blue for a long time, but everything before that isn't really that important, I guess. Nothing memorable, at least.
Master Blue has known us for a long time. When the Master realized having help around the house was necessary...we came to stay. It kind of worked out to benefit all of us. We have room and board and in exchange Master Blue has us kind of as liaisons to help during the events.
More or less. It's more of a favor than anything but Master Blue has always been very kind to us. I don't mind being here even with the disturbances in the house.
I guess I kind of think of a favor as something you should be paying back, which... Youâve already done if youâre working for him. If that makes sense. Sorry, itâs probably none of my business...
[He smiles, though itâs a little uncomfortable.]
Itâs just... There arenât that many rooms that arenât bedrooms, right? If the rules are right about the once a week thing and I started avoiding areas where something like this has happened, Iâm going to run out of places to go pretty quick.
When you put it like that, it makes a lot of sense. [Like. That would mean eventually Hunter's just locked in his room.] It's probably better not to be afraid of the rooms in this house anyway.
You could say that. There isn't a lot that we haven't seen from our guests in the last several years. But at the same time there's always something new to learn.

[And that's part of why he tilts his head, curious.]
Really? Not where you grew up, or your friends from before?

[Storytime with Hunter is nice and only mildly weird. She shakes her head though.]
I didn't really have a lot of friends before, and this mansion's been our home for so long anyway.

How'd you get this job in the first place, then?

[He has to wonder why she considers it a favor, but he can figure that out later, probably.]

...I'm surprised you're in here, by the way. [Considering this was linked to the crime scene this weekend.]

[He hesitates, rubbing at the back of his neck.]
Sorry, I feel like whatever I could say is pretty morbid.

[Hm.]
After five thousand years, everything thatâs happening now must seem pretty normal to you, huh?
