As I led the horses to the stable, I thought, maybe I could get this job…. It doesn't look like anyone has filled it yet… I put the horses into each stall and went looking for the grooming tools. In the tack room I found a bucket of brushes. Somehow, I was able to name all of them and their jobs. To my surprise I found that I knew a lot about horses. Why, though? I thought to myself. I tried to remember my life before the Kurai but all I got was a bunch of hazy half memories. Grunting in frustration, I combed the horses even harder. The one I was brushing whinnied and I pulled back. "I'm so so so sorry!" I gasped. But when the horse whinnied again and nodded its head behind me, I whirled around. Standing behind me, once again, was Sebastian.
"You really seem to like sneaking up on people," I said, irritated. He looked at the horse when it nickered and gave it a look between irritation and disgust. Then, looking at me, he said, "It is Six o'clock. You should not be here." He looked at me closer and appeared to be sniffing the air. I pulled back a little and he mumbled, "Smells the same. But… looks different. How?"
That's not weird… I thought. He took me by the arm and led me out of the stable saying, "Now you've made me late. Any butler who can't be on time for his master's dinner isn't worth his salt." I was drug all the way through the house and to my room where the blue dress was waiting for me. I sighed and my head drooped. He put it on the bed, gave me a stern look and then walked out and waited next to my door. When I had pulled it on, he came back in and laced up the back. Then he held out a hand gesturing that I put mine in his. So I did. We walked out of the room and downstairs to the dining room where a dinner party was waiting.
