"Excuse me, miss…"
Ariana turned, startled by the sudden voice. She had just gotten back from visiting a friend, only to find a ragged-looking man walking up to her.
He was a sight to behold, and not in a good way.
His brown jacket was stained and torn, barely covering a dusty grey shirt with old food marks. His green hat looked like it had been chewed by rats, and his red trousers had patches, tears, and mysterious stains all over them.
Ariana wrinkled her nose in disgust. Seriously? Who let this stray dog into the estate?
"Are you… talking to me?" she asked, pointing at herself. The man nodded kindly.
Was he a beggar? A lost servant?
But none of their staff would dare dress like this.
"I—I'm Beanos Adkins. Osvaldo's uncle," he said, offering a small smile. "Can you tell me where to find him?"
Ariana stared at him like he was contagious.
