The slave frowned and shuddered at the question the moment it processed in his mind.
"Nothing of significance to my past, but I was only able to search my mistress's room before it became too much to bear." he explained honestly, though he left out the details for personal reasons.

The mechanic nodded & stood. "...Wh-Where should we st-start..?" he asked his friend. Arron had no other leads now that he thought about it.

"We could go in the other rooms or drawers or closets I was forbidden to enter." the slave suggested, frowning after.
"But the things I've found so far have been very... scarring, to put it simply. And Personally... I want to make sure the Ringmaster is all right." he admitted. The state he was in before they left had bothered him the entire time they were away from the circus.

He nodded. "Af-After that we sh-should come b-back here & keep searching..." he said heading for the door.

"If that's what you feel would be best. Most of the things you may see won't be pleasant..." the slave warned before grabbing the empty bowls to wash them.
"Ah... I'll meet you outside in a moment. I need to wash these." he added. For some reason he had a feeling that Arron wanted to leave the mansion as much as he did.

The young man nodded. He then slipped outside quickly to wait on his friend. Arron was worried about how long they would have before the mistress of the house escaped her temporary confinement, & what would happen to them when she did.

The slave finished cleaning, then made his way out of the mansion where he met Arron. By that time, he was really worried for the Ringmaster, and hoped he'd survived his ordeal. Of course, the slave felt entirely responsible.
"Let's go then..." he muttered quietly.

"Alright..." said Arron. He made his board appear once again & hopped on. Whenever the slave hopped on, Arron sped off to the ringmaster's shop, hoping he would be there, alive & in good health.

Much to the slave's relief, the Ringmaster was there as before, sitting by the entrance to his shop. He spotted the two of them as they approached, and tipped his hat to them, but didn't attempt to stand.
"Bonjour." he greeted with a friendly grin.

He landed & picked up the board, carrying it this time. "...We-We're s-sorry about th-the other night... Are-Are you okay..?" asked Arron. He was concerned for the ringmaster.

The slave stayed behind Arron a little, feeling incredibly guilty. He avoided eye contact because of that, and tried to think of an adequate way to apologize.The Ringmaster crossed his legs, leaning the chair he was on back with one leg still on the ground as he folded his gloved hands over his chest.
"Oui, je vais bien." he responded, eyes focusing on the slave.
"I'll be on my feet again in a few hours, Atticus the great." he said with that same grin.The slave bowed his head once he'd been acknowledged.
"Sir... I'm... very sorry. Your performance was ruined... and you.. almost died because of me. I'm so incredibly sorry!" he apologized sincerely."I work in a circus. There's countless things that could kill me on a daily basis," the Ringmaster said, waving his hand dismissively. "Besides, it takes a lot more than that kind of magic to make this invisible man completely disappear." he added.

The mechanic still hung his head. "...We-We're are st-still very sorry..." he said, only to add, "...Has an-anyone ap-approached y-you about my-my friend..?"

The Ringmaster took off his gloves as Arron spoke, and tucked them into his vest pocket before stretching his invisible arms above his head.
"I didn't wake up until this morning, so about this many people approached me about him personally." his sleeve indicated that he was holding his hand out for them to count fingers, which obviously meant no one had come to him.The slave frowned, disheartened yet again.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time then, sir. Thank you for all you've done." he spoke in a murmur. With a wide grin, the Ringmaster took his hat off and pulled a card out from inside of it.
"No one came to me, but my troupe was approached by three people about you, my downtrodden friend. Two of them were only intrigued by your act, but the third seemed to want to meet with you. Their location is on this card." he explained, flicking the card at the slave with a motion of his invisible hand."Ah!" the slave managed to catch the card, and he looked it over. On it was a name, "Alexis Joyce", and an address to a place in Durem.

"Th-Thank y-you so much!" said Arron delightedly. He was hoping that the woman was a friend of the slave in his previous life. "We-We should get going th-then." he said to his friend.

"Yes, of course." the slave nodded enthusiastically before facing Loyal again.
"Thank you so much for all you've done for me, sir. If there's ever a way I can repay you, please don't hesitate to tell me." he said humbly. It made no sense to him why so many people were being so kind to him for no reason, even if it caused them personal risk, so he felt to necessary to repay their kindness whenever he could."Oui, if I think of something I'll call for you. We have a deal." the Ringmaster nodded, putting his hat back on his head in the usual crooked fashion.
"I expect your complete cooperation no matter what silly, insane, possibly life threatening, job I put you up to." he stated. The man truly was transparent about his expectations."Yes sir, whatever you ask of me I'll do." the slave responded, bowing to him once more before facing Arron again.
"Ah... let's be off then."
