Levi stays quiet as you return to your quarters. Your face is completely void of emotions, your eyes shining with silent determination.

You feel for the maid, but you don 't regret what you 've done. You can 't afford to.

You make it back inside. The basins are where you left them. You glance at the shattered cup on the floor.

'Let us finish re-applying the powder. '

'I could have gotten rid of her in your stead. '

'I know. '

'You didn 't have to push her yourself. '

'I know. '

You yank your night gown off and take one of the basins. You evade his eyes and go in the bathroom.

'Let us get this done. '

Levi takes the other basin and follows you to the bathroom.

You sit down on the cold marble. In silence, you start re-applying the mixture.

Your heart is still thundering in your chest. You wonder if they found her by now. If someone will come ask questions in the morning.
