"His diet was produced by his doctor. As you yourself pointed out, you are new to this, and thus would not know that young master Nakano has a variety of special needs. Furthermore, I think you are right that your training has been deficient. I am arranging for you to take a proper course to teach you how a servant should behave, so that you will k now exactly what is expected of you, and what is grounds for a dismissal. This includes speaking back to your superior."

Sera glowered, "You are not my superior. Teoni is. But that's not even the point. The point is I'm here for Teoni, not you. And doctor or not, no pea soup. There has to be something else he can eat to get the same stuff." She stalked back to the dining room before Grixton could reply. Face swollen and bruised, eye blacked, she marched in and sat down next to Teoni. "Is there anything else you'd like, before that ogre of a butler decides to have another stupid moment?" She paused and took a deep breath, shoulders sagging as she leaned on the table. "I'm sorry Teoni. I'm upset. What I meant was, what can I do for you now?"

He reached up and touched her hurt cheek, his small hand sending warmth through her face, and no pain. "who hurt you, Christine?" he asked, his voice cold as ice.

"Grixton. He was upset with my behavoir when I was looking for him...and had more than just words to get my attention." She shook her head, frustrated tears slowly coming down. "I didn't, wasn't trying...I was only trying to help you, to make things better. If he would have just listened to me instead of flying off the handle..."

"I said I would protect you," he said coldly as he climbed down from his chair. He started walking towards the servant's quarters.

She blinked again and wiped her eyes on her sleve, her cheek still stinging a little, though it felt better just a bit. Slowly and cautiously she followed him.

He stalked through the halls. A maid saw him, and SCREAM ED, turning and fleeing back the way he came. Teoni came to Grixton's room, and he slammed the door open on the man. "You. Hit. My. Christine!" Teoni seethed. From behind him, she could see Teoni shaking slightly, and could see Grixton blanch.

Sera watched, definitely more than a little frightened. She felt bad, he shouldn't be standing up for her. He's just a kid...

Teoni spun to face her, his eyes wide, his skin pale, making them seem all the darker. "You're afraid of me?" his voice came out a trembling whisper.
"She's known you less then two hours, and she is," Grixton said, recovering some. "I tried to protect you from this young master. She is not your Christine, she will not stay with you forever. It is better to send her away before you get too attached to her. It will only hurt worse then, when she runs away."

"No no no...not really. I'm just all shook up with this whole thing." She knelt down in front of him, hugging him gently. "You don't scare me. I don't like to see you upset, that's all."

"Don't lie to me," He whispered. He was shaking a bit, but otherwise, unresponsive in her grasp, neither hugging back, nor pulling away. "Never lie to me."
"Of course she will lie, young master, she is, after all, only human."

"I'm not lying to you. I think anyone in my situation would be a little frightened right now. You're so upset on my account...and that's not what I wanted at all." She looked down at the ground. "Sometimes, like now, I am scared. I don't know what to expect. I hate not knowing. But it's the unknown that scares me, not you."

Teoni nods a bit and pulls away lightly. "Wait in my room, my Christine?"

She nodded, "Alright, Teoni." She slowly got up and walked back to his room to wait, standing eagerly inside the door, not sure if she should sit somewhere or whether that would upset Teoni more.

About fifteen minutes later she'd hear a shriek of terror.
