Grey can't leave a damsel in distress, even if said damsel is capable of manipulating time, flying in the sky and impaling her opponents with throwing knives. Such an act would be against his personal chivalric code. Helping the chief maid is not a choice. It is his duty - both as a butler and a man. He curses at himself for hesitating. Is this not like asking whether a real man drinks tea?

He immediately rushes back inside to assist Sakuya. She might be injured or uncomfortable. Leaving a lady in such a state is simply unacceptable!

"Are you alright?" he asks. "Let me see if you have any injuries."

"Grey? N-no, you don't have to! I'm alright!" she says as she gets up.

"Just let me check. Stop moving."

Sakuya opens her mouth to protest, but he silences her with his eyes. He carefully checks her body for injuries. The chief maid allows him to feel her arms and legs, but he senses a cold chill as he does so. All thoughts of fondling or copping a feel instantly vanish. He can't mess around with her right now. He finishes his work without raising any further suspicion. Aside from a few bruises, she seems fine.

"Thanks, but I said that I was fine," she says with a frown.

"I was just doing my duty," he answers carefully. "I can't let the chief maid walk around injured."

Sakuya smiles at him, clearly amused.

"You should know that a simple fall like that can't hurt me," she says with confidence.

"One never knows. In fact, I'm not sure if you have any internal injuries. Are you sure that you don't want me to carry you?"

Sakuya's smile widens. Before he can react, she steps dangerously close to him. From this distance, he can feel her body heat emanating from her chest. A strange sweet aroma comes up to his nose; it enthralls him completely.

"Close your eyes," she says sternly.

Grey obediently complies. For a few moments, he waits in anticipation.

"..."

Without warning, she flicks him hard on the forehead.

"Don't push your luck," she whispers.

Sakuya smiles brightly at him. She is clearly enjoying this. Grey nods slowly as he rubs his head. That tap on the head hurts far more than he expected. He better stay cool and avoid antagonizing the chief maid.

"So what brings you here?" he asks as innocently as possible.

"That should be my question," she answers. "You should know better than to wander aimlessly around the mansion."

"I suppose so," he manages.

"Anyway, we should find a way out of here. This place is pretty dangerous for me."

Grey blinks dumbly. Did he hear that right? The perfect and elegant maid hesitates against no one! She has faced otherworldly opponents and powerful beings. Sakuya looks at him seriously as she continues.

"I can't use my powers in the clock tower."

Sakuya folds her arms and looks at him thoughtfully.

"So, why did you come here?"
