As Xavier descended down the stairs, he noticed how the smell of roses was much more faint, a more sweet smell of lavender now lingering around the basement. The room that used to belong to Maxime was now much more normal. The photos of Maximes ex lover, Xerxes, now set into another room.
The basement was designed as basically a hallway, a room on either side as you decended the stairs. The first room on the left is storage, filled with basic cleaning materials for the staff. The room on the right, previously empty, now belonged to Shiro. The room across from the stairs to the left is blocked off and boarded up, while the room on the right is open. That room was Maximes. His room, previously filled with rose petals, thorns, and makeup, now cleared out so that all that remained was the bed.
Xavier still felt slightly uneasy, as he still didn't quite understand the situation. He paused at the bottom of the stairs for a second, staring at where Maxime used to be before moving his gaze to Shiros room. As he approached, he heard the sound of the creature mumbling to himself.
"God, i can't stand the smell of roses.."
As he listened to the creatures mumbling, he stood at the door. He started to realize how used to the scent he had gotten and how thankful he was that it was gone.
"Shiro, do you have a moment?"
Almost as soon as he spoke up, he felt the door open, seeing Shiro looking down at him.
"Ah, boss.. Yes, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, I just have a request.. I have an object.. One I need you to inspect for me. Any information on who it belonged to...."
Xaviers voice trailed off, Shiros voice breaking the silence.
"Of course, sir. Here, come in.."
