??Well?I don??t know really. Sir Halloway just prefers everyone to steer clear of them.? She chuckled softly. ??Mr. Huxtable, the guy that drove you here has been working here longer than anyone and he doesn??t even know. It??s a total mystery to everyone except Master Halloway. Just remember when you do go exploring this place that you don??t let curiosity get the best of you and stick your nose where it shouldn??t be.? She smiled as he mentioned Sinclair??s mood. ??Don??t worry about Sinclair. He gets like that every once in a blue moon. It is just best to leave him be until he comes to you.? She sighed. ??His mood is always pretty unpredictable. You never know what he??s gonna say or do next. Whatever happened between you two just remember it wasn??t your fault?It??s just Sinclair being Sinclair.? She added as she finished collecting the dishes. ??Help?? she questioned softly. ??Well, if you want, sure why not?? She said with a smile. ??Here, take the tray and follow me.? She said motioning toward the tray of empty dishes on the table. Sinclair stood in complete solitude outside of the mansion. He still felt sad even after he separated himself from Kazuye. Feelings of angst filled his heart and he just wanted them to go away. He didn??t like being in such a horrible mood? The only one he had to blame for this was himself though. He was the one who brought up the subject of mothers?. therefore he had caused his own sudden pain and sadness. Sinclair sighed heavily running his fingers through his hair. Taking one last look at the scenery he turned to go into the house. He couldn??t very well stand outside all day he would have to face his father someday. ??Himura will be making dinner tonight as usual?I wonder if father will attend because of Kazuye??s presence.? He thought as he crossed the threshold into the house. Sinclair took a deep breath as he started up the stairs. He was going to confront Halloway now, so maybe if he noticed something was a little off about him he wouldn??t have to hear about it during dinner or any other time during the rest of the day. Sinclair walked down the hall to his father??s room whose door was always shut. Hesitantly the young man raised his hand ready to knock. As he was about to bring his fist down onto the door he chickened out. ??Nope? I think I??ll maybe take a nap or something until dinner. Then I would have forgotten all about this and be back to my normal self.? Sinclair smiled to himself thinking his plan sounded great? To him he thought it was probably the smartest thing he thought of all day. He made a quick about-face not sure anymore if his father was in his room or not. He could??ve been anywhere and he really wasn??t too eager to run into him wherever he may be. As Sinclair walked down the hall he heard voices and one of them sounded like Halloway. ??Shit?? he thought. Quickly he opened a nearby door slipping into the room quietly. He stood his back up against the door. He was sure he was quiet enough no to attract any attention toward the room. The voices were closer now, right in front of the room he was hiding in. His heart felt like it was going to just pop with the way it was beating in his chest. ??Wait?Why am I being such a coward? This isn??t me at all. I was raised differently.? He thought grabbing the doorknob and twisting it. When the door swung open he scared the woman his father was talking to and she nearly fell, his father catching her. ??What are you doing Sinclair?? Halloway asked as he looked at Sinclair. ??Playing a game with Kazuye? I thought you were him?? he lied. ??I see?Well I??m glad you are having fun.? With that he escorted the frightened woman into his bedroom to do god knows what. He felt slightly better after that chuckling softly to himself as he recalled the look on that woman??s face when he pulled the door open. ??So what??s your name kid?? Himura asked Kazuye. I know you don't want me to be addressing you as kid all the time. she added with a soft chuckle.
