[As soon as the messenger clicks on, the sound of a female voice exclaiming with surprise and fright follows.]

D-don't hurt me, please...!

[There is a long pause, with what sounds like the faint noise of her whimpering in the background.  Then there is a shuffle, and her voice sounds closer.]

Hm...?  Mas...ter...?  Master, where...who...please don't

Are you okay, miss?

[veiledimpudence]

N-no...I...I do not know who is my master...

...Is it you?

[pendulum_holmes]

I'm nobody's master. You sounded like you were in distress, so it took me by shock. You're not in danger?

[veiledimpudence]

No...at least, I don't think so...

[sighs]

[pendulum_holmes]

You don't sound too happy.

[veiledimpudence]

It's because I cannot find my new master...unless...you know where he is?

[pendulum_holmes]

I regret to tell you I don't. I don't have a clue who your master is, or who you are for that matter. My deepest apologies.

[veiledimpudence]

You...don't need to apologize. I am the one to be sorry. A slave should be able to find and know who her master is. Forgive me.

[pendulum_holmes]

A slave? You're a slave?

[veiledimpudence]

Yes.

[pendulum_holmes]

Sorry. I shouldn't meddle in your business. Maybe slaves are commonplace where you come from.

[veiledimpudence]

It is...but please do not apologize. There is no need. It is all my fault. I am sorry...

[pendulum_holmes]

You did nothing wrong. I don't know if your master is here or not, but I do know some things about this world. Though very little, I would be glad to share the information with you. Maybe you can tell me where you are now?

[veiledimpudence]

I do not know the exact name of my location...but there is a fountain nearby...and the floor is paved with cobbled stones...

[pendulum_holmes]

I can find you.

[veiledimpudence]

Alright...I'll be waiting...thank you.
