IC-Ep 1-Upstairs(Brook/Gui)

[Philulhu]

Gui laughed and stepped through the doorway into the room beyond, ran across the room and opened the door, leaving it ajar.

He then quickly hid under the bed, hoping the guard would assume he had fled the room…

[Mr. Handy]

Gui, please roll Hide.

Gui tried to hide under the bed but the space with taken with blankets, hatboxes and other detritus. On the plus side, he thought to himself as he waited to be discovered, it wasn’t his mistress’ other lover. He’d been in that situation before when her husband arrived home unexpectedly and he’d dived under the bed to find that he wasn’t her first gentleman caller of the day… …

[Mr. Handy]

The guard burst into the servant's quarters and spotted Gui's legs sticking out from under the bed. He drew his sword and pointed it at him. "Come out, sirrah!" he commanded. "You have been caught at last!"

”Well done, Monsieur,” replied Gui. ”I am indeed caught so you may take me to the Duc.” Who, though Gui, he could hope had a understanding nature and a sense of humour… …

[Mr. Handy]

"And so I shall," said the guard with a smile. "I shall be well rewarded for catching you. On your feet. We're going downstairs to the Great Hall."

[Philulhu]

”Very well, Monsieur,” replied Gui, climbing to his feet and straightening his clothes. ”Please lead the way.”

[Mr. Handy]

"Oh, no, Monsieur, after you," said the guard. "I insist." He gestured with his sword and marched Gui out into the hall and down the stairs.

Brook soon returned to her room, where Story and Elizabeth were getting ready. A servant came to fetch them for the Duc's audience, and all three ladies followed her down to the Great Hall.
