Extremely short update so sorry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slept soundly for a few hours, when I was awoke by screams I forced my body to move. Sitting up, I put my robe and slippers on and left my room, everyone was huddled around Gerog Von Siemons room "What's all the noise?" I yawned as I walked in, Georg was sitting in front of the fire, his held tilted back and a blood stain on his chest "Mister Siemons rang for us, and we found him like this yes we did!" May-rin was frantic as the other guests stood close to each other.

Over time we reduced the possibility of the murder coming in from the window as there were no mud stains from the storm, and the door was locked from the inside by a bolt lock and Sebastian didn't give anyone a key, we also got everyone's aliases most of then we're in groups chatting, the servants were in the kitchen and I, well I was asleep in my room, which made me a prime suspect. The guests started panicking and we agreed to figure this out more in the morning, Charles, the queens stupid butler talked Arthur to sleep with me in the room next door, he even found long chain hand cuffs. With a sigh I agreed to the arrangement and we went off to bed.

"I am so sorry about this Doctor." I sat on one side of the bed as Sebastian re-buttoned my shirt that had gotten deserved while I slept last "It is alright M'lord." Arthur spoke kindly "Do you believe I did it?" I kissed Sebastians' cheek while Arthur wasn't looking before crawling into bed "No, pardon my forwardness M'lord, but you are still a child. Incredible in busy but still." He rubbed his neck "I'm glad not everyone thinks I'm a monster." I spoke as Sebastian tucked me in, once he took his leave Arthur crawled into bed as well and we tried to sleep.

Arthur and I talked a few minutes after Sebastian brought me my pillow with the hidden note, he asked if I wore my patch when sleeping, I lied and said yes and he tried to take it off. On instinct I slapped his hand away and sat up scooting away "S-sorry this... is an injury I sustained on the streets of London, my parents let me leave to shop with our maid and there was an attempted kidnapping, luckily I was saved before anything worse happened." I lied through my teeth, Arthur gave me a sorrowful look and gently lifted his hand and rubbed the top of it in a  soothing manner he noticed his 'mistake' and pulled back stuttering out apologise, I told him it was fine and we went back to bed.
