"Let's eat."

After placing her empty cup on the table, Sherilyn gestured towards the breakfast in front of him.

"Alright..."

Gilbert nodded, lowering his head to eat. Suddenly, he sniffed, "What's that smell?"

Sherilyn gave him a quick look and pointed towards the door leading from the kitchen to the backyard. "It's your medicine." "Oh."

Gilbert nodded, his brow furrowing slightly.

Sherilyn explained, "This servant, Mr. Harrison brought him over from the main house. He's been up since before dawn preparing it. It should be ready by now..."

On the tray was an ivory-white porcelain bowl filled with a thick, potent concoction.

"Mr. Nine," the servant placed the porcelain bowl in front of Gilbert, "your medicine."

Sherilyn couldn't help but frown at the strong medicinal odor; just the smell alone was enough to suggest its bitterness.
