Where in the hell have you been?! Isn't a servant supposed to stay at their master's side?! Do you know that my brother has been here for a year already waiting for you to show up?!
[..well, that's not quite the reaction he had been expecting. A bit of a pleasant surprise, in fact, and for a moment he just stares.]
He told me, yes. If I'd had even the slightest control over that situation, I'm sure I wouldn't even have left in the first place, even if I don't even remember being here before.
And don't get lost on your way and waste even more of his time! Don't dawdle! And don't attempt to be the hero at-!
[She cuts herself off before she can finish that sentence. That strange dream that she'd had a few weeks ago; she'd said that to him. It was a conversation that she couldn't remember having had previously, but having spoken those few words aloud, somehow they felt more real.

What's the last thing that you remember before you arrived here? Don't ramble, just tell me plainly. Where were you?

[That's a very weird question. Well, not so much the question itself as the way it's phrased but uhm... Yes, weird.]

[Yeah remember that time he and Elliot sneaked out? Hence he's hesitant to answer, but he can't really refuse. Crap. :|]
