There he stood, having had to walk all the way over to their table with an anxious Sharon wrapped around his leg whilst begging him to go back behind the wall.
"Well, well," the woman said after taking a sip of tea, completely unfazed by the sudden appearance of her granddaughter and her servant, "what could you two be doing here?"
Sharon fumbled to get up from her unladylike position and attempted an answer but horribly failed.
Break covered for her with his normal graceful charisma. "Oh, the lady and I had an extreme craving for the cakes made at a bakery near here and while we were out we thought we might as well see how you two were doing."
"You know you shouldn't lie to me, Xerxes," she responded with a smirk. "Rather cramped over there behind the wall, isn't it?"
Rufus looked upon the whole situation, completely speechless. He seemed to be awakened by this. "Wait, you're telling me you knew they were there the entire time?"
She chose to ignore him and instead stared intently at her rather embarrassed granddaughter.
"W-we just wanted to see what this date was all about. We- I didn't mean to spy."
The wise old woman replied with a chuckle, "Of course you did. It's alright, I don't mind. To be honest, it's probably in your genes to be nosy. Although, I do wonder…"
She stopped talking then, simply glancing back and forth from the young woman to her servant, wondering whether servant was really the proper word to describe what he was to her granddaughter.
The conversation was somehow reinstated and eventually they all decided it was rather time that the uninvited guests go back home. They began to leave and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she rose and, excusing herself, followed after them. She tapped on the peculiar man's shoulder, allowing Sharon to get out of earshot before speaking.
"You will never hurt her, understood?"
"I- I would never hurt milady," he said, appalled at even the idea of it.
"Yes, not intentionally. I don't quite think you understand, but that will do," she said almost as if thinking aloud. With that, she walked back inside leaving the man to ponder what on Earth she could have possibly meant.
A/N: Yep. That's it. Sorry. Hopefully I can update sooner next time… I- I'm sorry! I'm not sure if anyone will know where I'm going with this but yeah…
