"Oi, Sebastian where did you go last night?" Baldory asks.

"Why do you ask?" I look at the three.

I'm being questioned on the way to bring my young master's lunch. I ignore them. I assume they're still wondering about my "admirer and maker." It's really ridiculous. I open the door.

"How has your studying been going master?" I ask.

"Utterly boorish." He sighs. 

I put the lunch in front of him. I open up.

"What is it?" He asks.   

"Roast quail stuffed with fresh springs of veggies. Roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary." I answer.

He nods and starts eating.

"Why is your hand like that?" He asks.

"Master?" I look at him. 

"Your hand's glove is looser than usual. What happened?" He looks at me.

"Nothing of your concern." I say respectfully.

"Just tell me." He looks at me. 

"It was just an accident. A knife slipped." I answer.

"You can go now." He waves his hand.

"Master." I do a slight bend.

Is he hiding something from me? It's not unlikely. Sebastian has been acting rather off lately. He knows something about these murders. Something I don't know. What could it be? Does he know about the killer? I know he knows something I do not. I know it.

Who would be this insane to kill people in this way? It's horrifying and it disgusts me. Whoever is doing this is a brat. Why are there so many pentagrams? Pentagrams. Satan summoners. Those people that were murdered were all idiots and complete nutcases. Honestly, they probably deserved it. 

I slowly continue eating. Whatever is going on with Sebastian, I'm going to figure out what it is.
