Amelia/Purple Dress/2

From Create Your Own Story

Saying goodbyes is a pain and you don't feel like it at all. So you get a good idea: maybe you should go find the more capable servants and see if you can get some of them to join you, although you're a little uncomfortable letting them know you actually value them by asking them to come along.

While you're pondering it, someone walks up to you from behind. You turn to find Patrick, an old servant who used to be your mother's favorite. There are rumours they were more than just mistress and servant - alltough you dismiss such silly rumours as your mother was far too proud a woman to allow a mere servant to touch her. That he loved her, however, you have no doubt of.

"Miss Amelia..." he stammers. You prepare to fly in a rage over him, a mere servant, calling you by your first name, but think better of it when you see the look in his eye. So instead you throw your hair back and answer haughtily, "Yes - what is it?"

"I- you look... so much like her. Your mother, I mean. Ah, forgive me, I am but a lowly servant who used to be in your mother's service."

"It's all right," you sigh. You wonder if it was a bad idea to wear this dress. But this man - Patrick does know a lot of people around here. He's one of the oldest servants after all. This might come in a handy. If you can use him right, you'll be able to make it look like he was the one who recommended the other servants you want to take along. That way, you don't have to admit that you personally wanted them along.

"Say, I was thinking of taking some useful servants with me when I leave here. You know a lot of them yes?" He nods, a small smile forming on his face. You decide to ignore it and continue, "Then you can bring some of them you'd recommend for me to take along."
