Then the noblewoman was too far off to hear her words, and to be quite frank, the servant didn't think she'd be paid much minding to anyway. "Those nobles. If it weren't for the likes of peoples like me, they'd all be dead by now. With their silly parties and stupid hunts...they just ain't got no grounding in the real world!"<br/><br/>With that, Marie Archambault leaned back against the wall and waited for the two women to return. There was no way in any imaginable hell that she would be the one to bring this news to Lillian Montague directly. "Oh, she's gonna have herself a hissy fit, alright. Nuh-uh. I so ain't gonna be here when that can o' worms is opened." She resolved to finish her apple. Then she'd bring the noble woman to her mistress and let her spill the beans.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>OOC:</strong>Avonleigh has been the subject of some gossip in the past months. Apparently it was the site of a murder-suicide...something about a husband killing his wife and children. You can always roll a Knowledge (local) check to see if she would have heard anything about the house. Make the DC a 10, since it was moderately spoken about. But Avonleigh was newly acquired by the Montague family, and it's doubtful that anyone would have said much about that.
