“Sir! You have to finish–”

“Not another word!” Reason shook off the binding chains of paperwork and threw open the door to his study. “I can’t possibly stand another week without Tina!”

“My lord, it’s only been six–”

“I said, not another word! Who knows what that dastardly devilish demon woman is doing to my beloved! I can’t believe it! I simply must see her!” He stopped in his tracks, so suddenly that his pursuing attendants crashed right into his back. “Well, I suppose I can’t exactly see her…”

“You’ve made that joke six times today, milord.”

“And yet it doesn’t lose its humor, does it? Nay! No! Nada! Nyet! And other forms of negative expression! I must be her knight in fur armor, and deliver her from the devil’s maw!” Reason took off at a run unbefitting of a blind man in a floor-length cape and tailored suit. 

To his attendants’ dismay, as their house lord burst from the front door, they could see a newfangled northern horseless carriage waiting at the gate. When had he the time to call for one?

Reason practically dived into the backseat and slammed the door closed. Within a second, the car’s engine roared, scaring birds into the sky. The tires screeched, the window rolled down, and Reason waved goodbye to his attendants as the car sped away.

“I’ll be back soon! Don’t let the House collapse!” he shouted from the window before disappearing into the horizon.
