You were supposed to live with a strange man now. Was this really your life? Were the Archons punishing you for something once more? You had so many questions running through your head.. you didn't know anything about this nation, this place, that man.. his name, age, why he was hiding his face behind such a strange mask, what was really happening- 

Before you could think of anything else you'd snap to your own thoughts and quickly shook your head before looking around and walking up to the closet to find it full of clothing already. You took hold of a dress and looked at the size of it only to find out that it was EXACTLY your size! Was this guy some kind of creep or something?Nonetheless, you thought that maybe he was just lucky.. or maybe your father told him about you, yeah that was it. He must've asked very specific questions to prepare for your arrival if this deal was on the table for more than a few days.

You'd look through the closet before picking up a rather lovely but simple short white sun dress with a plunging neckline.. it made you a little.. uncomfortable but it was probably one of the more proper dresses for dinner " Great.. " you said to yourself before taking it and placing it on the bed before walking over to your bag and unzipping it to grab yourself a new pair of underwear before heading into the bathroom to take a quick shower and take care of your skin.

Once you were done with everything and put the dress on, you'd actually notice that the neckline, despite looking rather revealing, wasn't as revealing on you and that made you feel at least a little more comfortable with this whole thing.. however as soon as you were done with getting dressed and putting your hair together into a messy bun that still looked more nice than bad, you'd look around yourself again before noticing the clock on the wall over the door. Was that there on purpose? It was strange to say the least..

Sighing, you got up from the bed and headed outside of your bedroom, wandering through the hallway in hopes of finding the dinning room as you had five minutes to arrive for dinner. You didn't really know anything about him so you didn't wanna risk him harming you as he looked like the kind of person who would do it. Not counting the fact he almost choked you an hour ago of course..

After a while of walking you'd finally cross a room with a dinning table to which you smiled briefly and walked up to it before sitting down on a chair close to the window as you hated not being able to look outside during meals. It was more of a bad habit at this point actually.. but that wasn't your fault as it was comforting for you!

As you were lost in thought you'd eventually hear something being placed on the table only to meet the man with his unamused expression underneath his mask. But as soon as you looked at the table and saw that he had placed a plate of what seemed to be Scented meat balls, a rather well-known Sumerian dish, you just looked up at him with curiousity " How do I know that it's not poisoned? " you asked with a serious look on your face, making the man frown.

He sighed at your antics kicking in again and rubbed on the spot where his temples were underneath the mask " How.. " he repeated with a rather irritated tone of voice before opening his eyes and looking at you again " Don't you think, that if I wanted to kill you, I would've already choked you when I had the chance? " he asked in a serious manner. It did make sense.. if he wanted to kill you he would've choked you back then.

" Why are you not eating? " you asked after a while of silence as you kept your eyes on him, making him sigh in an irritated manner. He really hated your questioning didn't he?

" Are you going to question everything? Just eat for Tsaritsa's sake. " he muttered out before grabbing onto his cup of coffee and taking a clumsy sip that has him leaning to the side to drink properly only to end up with a few drops of the coffee rolling down his chin.

You'd hum and look down on your plate before you began to dig in slowly whilst making sure everything was properly cooked and made with care as you still didn't really trust him. After a moment of stuffing your mouth with the meal that was actually a thousand times better than those made at taverns, you decided you'd ask one last question " How should I call you? I'm still really confused about that part as you haven't even introduced yourself. "

The man looked at you after a moment of staring out of the window before running his eyes up and down only to scoff a little and look out of the window " Two- I mean.. Dottore. Call me that. " he said with a pause after saying the number ' two '. Why did he say it? Was something going on through his mind like.. mathematics or something?

" Mmm.. Strange name but alright. " You said as you looked at him with a small smile before finally deciding to drop your guard a little since your stomach was feeling all tight and squeezed, making it hard to eat. You'd look outside of the window along with him before finally finishing off your plate and placing the utensils down as well as wiping your mouth with a tissue since it was, after all, something you were taught since you were a child.

" I'll be leaving tomorrow for a few hours. I want you to tidy around the house, with that I mean do the dishes, sweep the floors, mop them and make sure everything is perfect. " he said after a while as he finished off his cup of coffee and stood up, waiting for you to do the same as he seemingly wanted to escort you to your bedroom.

" Oh okay.. " you muttered before getting up and grabbing the plate with the cup only to head into the kitchen with him watching you curiously as you threw the tissue in the trashcan and placed the plate, utensils and cup into the sink that was about half empty " Will you walk me to my bedroom every time? " you asked as you walked up to him and the both of you began walking towards your bedroom.

" I am not going to comment on that stupid question Y/N. " he said as the both of you walked for a moment before finally making it to your bedroom door.

" ..Good night. " you said as you looked up at him before hearing him scoff and walk off as you walked inside your bedroom and closed the door for the night... it was.. still very strange and something felt REALLY off about this whole place as well as him. You just couldn't place your finger on it yet..
