The two sat in Ophianne's room, Rendafel searching through his older sister's belongings. Â They had entered when their parents were out on a shopping trip, though they both knew it was to find their contacts in the city and ask questions on what happened.
"I know it is around here somewhere."
"What is, brother?"
Rendafel sighs, leaning on the wooden dresser he was rummaging through. Â "I know Anne did more than just 'work' for Mister Hext. Â I once saw her in the yard at night practicing her aim with a bow on our old silverwood trees." Â He pulled open another drawer, then quickly shut it, cheeks tinging red ... he had found his older sister's undergarment drawer.
"Have you tried looking under the bed?" Â Brother looked to sister quizzically, and she just smiled, pointing to the space under the bed upon which she sat. Â Getting to his knees, Rendafel leaned down and reached one arm out, blindly searching.
"Ah! Â I think I found something."
He pulled out a long box by the handle. Â It was made of a deep wood slightly shorter than the length of the bed and no more than three ilms high. Â There were no visible latches or locks, and Rendafel frowned.
"How are we supposed to open this?"
"I believe I can assist with that, Master Rendafel."
The twins nearly jumped out of their skin, startled by their butler's sudden presence.
"Ah! Â You startled us, Barnabaix. Â Do you know how to open this box?"
The old elezen nodded, coming over and taking a knee next to Rendafel, laid both hands on top of the box, and pressed down. Â A small click was heard as the top lifted slightly.
"Unbelieveable!" Â The sister gasped, watching her brother lift up the lid and gaze inside.
