Phillip looked over at Ariel in desperation. Thankfully the other maid only nodded and soon the master of the manor took off. Racing up the stairs, he paused in front of the very top one before softly knocking on the side wall to signify his presence. Waiting just a moment longer, he let out a clenched breath and quietly made himself known.

"Hey there." He sat down next to Amy and looked down the stairs before them. "You know, if you just wanted some water you could have asked. You know me or Ariel wouldn't have hesitated to get it for you."

His tone was not patronizing, nor was it cruel. Instead, it was soft and warm.
