Missing Documents [Sheska & Curiosity]

[Sheska]

Sheska watched in confusion as Curiosity looked for something. she almost started toward him when he lifted his hat but refrained from doing so. Luckily he didn't lift it all the way and handed her a piece of paper. "Thanks." She said in appreciation to curiosity. She unfolded the paper. "The documents are information on a soldier." she then gave the soldiers name to the butler.

[Aeron Warde]

The butler took the paper. That name he recognized very well. He was the one that was brought the Isbalan girl here. That made the butler grin a bit.

"I am not sure how many we have about him. But I'll show you where they would be." He flourished his arm down the hall. "This way please."

He was very skeptical about the man wearing the trench coat, but with the State Military, even one as... odd... as her, he couldn't complain. It was official enough business.

After a while of walking through the deserted mansion he opened a door. "All of the house's documents would be here. If we have what you are looking for this would be where it is."

[Sheska]

"Thank you so much!" Sheska said enthusiastically. There was so much to read! The mousy woman put aside her want to attack the materials for now.

"I'm very sorry for having disturbed you so late and in this weather." She was still barely over the panic of having to run all the way here. She wasn't even quite sure how this was so urgent but who was she to question orders.

Sheska looked back at curiosity to see if he was doing OK. She also felt bad for dragging him with her but she couldn't just leave him alone in her house. He might have ended up crushed to death by the books. She herself had almost been on several occasions and she knew the contents of her house better than the back of her hand.

Curiosity stepped lightly into the large room. His eyes drifted around, gazing at the plethora of documents and books. Even he was amused and intrigued by such an enormous collection. Sheska turned toward him and he came closer to her side.

"Wow... where will we begin searching?" He spoke slowly. He turned his head and glanced behind to see if the butler was still present in the room. 'I feel as though this man is hiding something... keeping something secret from us. Perhaps I am wrong... but perhaps something serious is under the 'skin'. I shall keep an eye on this mansion...' He pondered the reason for his thoughts.

Curiosity examined the letter to look for clues... and what the soldiers name was. He wanted to be of as much help in this process as possible, rather than a nuisance.

[Aeron Warde]

He watched them for a moment. He still wasn't sure if he could trust these people. But since it was State Military, he had no choice. And if they were frauds, the real State Military will be after them in a heart beat.

"Do not worry. We always have time for the State Military." The old man's face turned back to the grim look he had when opening the door. "I hope I do not have to remind you not to put your nose into any information that is not your business."

The butler turned to leave when he suddenly had an idea. "Do you want anything to drink? Water, Tea, anything?"

[Sheska]

"Uh no thank you. I just want to find it so I can get out of your way." She started to look for the document they needed, glancing at titles. She had to resist the urge to just read every single one. The urge was so bad though.

Sheska flexed her fingers. Maybe just one? No! She wasn't supposed to. Now focus, focus. Find the name. It had barely been a minuet and she was already having issues trying to keep from reading.

[Randamu]

Curiosity turned toward the man as he asked the question ever so politely.  

"Yes!" He pointed his finger to the air and smiled. "I will take a cup of tea, two sugars, please." He quickly turned away once again, as if the kind gesture of the butler was none but a duty."

Curiosity was not one to politely turn down an offering of such. If he indeed wanted something that was offered, he would take it. His smile, however, quickly vanished as he turned back to the note for clues.

[Aeron Warde]

The butler turned. After the girl didn't answer he expected nothing. But that was a bad assumption. Quickly he gave a small bow.

"Tea with two sugars," he repeated to be sure he had it right. "I will have that to you momentarily. He was sure not to say who would have it to them. Because after this, he was going to be sure he had nothing more to do with these fellows. The maid can deal with them. Just now he was going to have to deal with the sick child.

The old man left the room to start up the kettle. He hoped that they had some kind of decent tea left.

[Randamu]

Curiosity continued to look over the letter carefully. In all honesty he was absolutely unsure what he was even looking for... he figured that studying the note with such concentration would make himself appear less ignorant on the subject, and much less useless (although there was no avoiding the fact that he was indeed utterly worthless at the moment). He stepped closer to Sheska.

"Ummm, did you find anything?" he asked gently. "Here... You might find the letter to be more helpful than me." Curiosity held the paper out in front of him, waiting for a response.

 

[Sheska]

"No So Far I haven't found anything." Sheska was still trying her hardest to only read what needed to be read. Sometimes her job was incredibly hard for her.

"Letter?" The book worm looked up and took the letter that Curiosity was offering her. "Oh that letter. No I don't need to look at it again. I can hold on to it if you don't want to though." She had been so in to the task at hand that she had almost forgotten about it.
