Only now one could say that he had roped Akira into his games as well. "I shall let you discuss that with the staff. I am not sure that I twould be an accurate judge of myself in that way.", he said as he worked making sure that their steed would not run and leave them.

"Tis you who are to blame for my behavior and the staff is well aware of that I twould say, there are veterans serving the family. Though I suppose the newest members of the house staff would find my behavior rather odd. If anybody is sent out here to investigate then we shall just have to seek shelter and keep out of sight until whoever it is passes us."
