You glance at the clock for a second time and frown. It is ten minutes past Zara's scheduled time with you. Zara was always on time so you got a bit concerned that she hadn't shown yet. You finish sterilizing one of your toys and place it back on the hook. Walking out of the dungeon room, you slip out of your entertainment area and head down the stairs.

Babette's office curtains are open as you round the corner. You peek in to say hello but pause when Babette waves you in. You step in and notice that the older yordle seems to look more tired than earlier.

"Lady, I wanted to let you know that you have the next few days off. So, after your shift today you're clear to head home. You work so hard, and I think you deserve to rest for a little."

"Mistress... that's very kind of you. Thank you." You felt very touched. Usually, you asked for days off, but this was the first time Babette had gone ahead and given you time off without you requesting it.

"It's no problem, Lady. You're one of my top workers. You deserve more than a few days off here and there... Now, aren't you supposed to be with a client right now?" Babette questions. You sigh and nod your head, "Yeah, Zara. She's late so I came down to check and see if anyone has seen her."

"Ah, well, if she's a no-show, you're free to go home. I'll inform your clients of the change. The Baroness sends her regards. Same time this month. Enjoy the rest of your week."

"You too, Mistress. Ah, please let my clients know that I'm perfectly healthy. They worry too much." You smile and close the curtains behind you. You head down the hall and greet your co-workers as you pass. You see that Layla's blackout curtains are closed signaling that she's alone. You part the curtain, step into her room and make eye contact with her in the mirror. Layla looks at you expectantly and you nod at her, "Thank you, Layla. You did a perfect job." A bright smile graces her face and she continues to take her makeup off. With that, you head back to your search.

You walk past Melanie's garden room before pausing and backtracking. You look in to see two women lounging around while having a chat. You recognize Zara in one of her usual play outfits and smile when you catch sight of your tattoo on her. You were shocked when Zara had gotten a tattoo of you on her upper arm. It was gorgeous and depicted you as a real goddess in a deep red dress with white hair. You had told her she didn't need to do that, but she gave you a secretive smile and said she wanted to.

"Zara~!" You sing out as you pull the sheer curtain shut. Both of the women pause their conversation and turn towards you. You see the slight panic in the blue-haired girl's demeanor. Zara gasps and quickly drops to her knees as you stop in front of her, "My Goddess." Zara whimpers, "Forgive me, I didn't realize that it was my time. I-I had come early-"

You place a hand on her head and she looks up at you, "I'm disappointed, Zara. Are you not one of my most devoted servants?" You sigh and remove your hand, "You'll have to prove yourself to me today. Stand. We are in company."

"I-I'm sorry, my Goddess. It will never happen again, I promise." Zara says as she stands up and looks down in shame. You nod at her and turn to the woman sitting on the couch. Her clothes seem to be from Zaun but the way she held herself was classic Piltover and you haven't seen her face around here before. 'Professor Uley had taught me extensively on the differences between a Zaunite and a Piltoven. She's not giving me any Zaunite from anything except for her clothes.' This makes your suspicions rise.

"I'm sorry, but I've never seen you around here before." You give her a small smile, "What's your name?"

"Cai- Call me Matilda. My name is Matilda. I'm new here." You tilt your head at her accent and hum in acknowledgment. 'Piltover noble. Possibly one of the older families.' She seems to stumble over the name so you knew it wasn't her real one.
