Cain headed straight for the next room, He was wondering who was going to be next.
Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?" A quiet voice replied, "I'm sure master said we could go to sleep."
Cain blinked a few times, did he wake her up? "Sorry if I woke you up, see you in the morning."
CRASH! He heard the sound of something falling and then crawling to the ground. He could recognize the sound of books falling since used to read a lot.
CRACK! The maid hurriedly opened the door with a stressed face, luckily she was wearing a pajama this time. Her hair was as curly as he remember seeing her at day, but she looked a bit weird without her glasses.
"Everly, did I wake you up?" Cain asked.
"No, not at all! I was just reading a few books!" She replied panicking, "Sorry for sounding so cheeky earlier!" She cried.
Cain tried to laugh it off, "Please, I don't mind. Which books you were reading?" He asked looking at the desk, she had a newly lit candle. Weren't those supposed to be in a shortage?
