This particular maid didn't stand out—at least, not at first. She was like a mouse: hesitant, timid, unassuming in every way. There was a freshness to her, a quiet strangeness the others completely lacked, while they stood with their noses looking to the heavens and the earth below their feet nothing but a nuisance, she stood with her head bowed, in meekness, he eyes lowered and her presence small. If Romeon were to describe her in colors, while the others looked like shadows of grey—monotone, predictable—hers was a black that disappeared from sight, yet still held your gaze, drawing you to seek out and unravel the mysteries hidden within, a darkness that did not feel oppressive or sinister, but one that promised a light at the end of it all.
