"E-excuse me, s-sir... w-w-w-what d-d-d-did you s-say?" But she knew. And somehow he knew, and he'd called her out on it. Then she realized what he'd said about a few months. [i]Oh, my gods. Alex must be dead. They must have killed my big brother because I was an idiot and I left him after he'd been the only one to protect me and he must have gone to his grave thinking I abandoned him.[/i] Of course she wouldn't say it out loud. Even though now everyone knew, or would know, how messed up her mind was, she wouldn't tell them. She wouldn't let herself look weak. And for whatever reason, she felt compelled to walk forwards, until she was standing just in front and to the left of the master. She curtsied to him, sinking until her knees touched the floor, then rose back to her feet. Not sure what else he wanted her to do, she forced her voice and hands to quit trembling, though she wasn't entirely successful at it. "Sir? What is it you would like me to do, that you called me forward for?"
