Twelve noon, the next day, Fai went to Mangetsu's rooms. Sylvia met him at the staircase and turned him away.

"The Maitresse is sleeping. When she wakes up, I'll let her know you were here and she'll probably send a servant."

Fai nodded, perplexed as to why she was sleeping in the middle of the day and left.

The following morning, three a.m., Fai was awakened by a knock at his door.

"Monsieur Flourite? Maitresse Seether would like you to know she is awake and ready to see you." Polite footsteps retreated down the hall.

Fai rolled over and went back to sleep. She could wait five hours and talk to him in the daylight like a normal person.

Okay, if anyone is interested, I'm posting pictures of Mang-mang (and probably some others eventually) on . My screen name is ShingetsuXMangetsu and if you search that and then view my gallery you can see them. Please review^^
