*Micaela had decided that she and Scarlett hadn't seen much of eachother. So, the night after the disastrous party, Micaela innocently brought up a delicious breakfast in bed and knocked on the door.*
"Scarlett? You awake?"

Aunt Micaela! Oh, um, yes! *She hobbled back over to her bed, managing to get herself in rather quickly and cover up her slightly swollen ankle and wrist.*

**MIC**
*Micaela grinned and entered, setting the food down on the bed and sitting at the end of it.*
"I felt like we hadn't talked in forever. So I brought food."

*She smiled brightly at her godmother, ignoring her throbbing ankle.* Awww, that's too sweet of you! Thank you so much!

*She spotted Scarlett's hand as soon as she reached for a pastry.*
"What happened?" *She asked, gesturing to the wrist.* "Something at the party last night?"
((We assume Scarlett told her where she disappeared to.))

*She blushed slightly, biting her lip.* Um...yes.

"And?"

Well, it... *She sighed, and then told Micaela the whole story about the night before and what Michael had told her about the night before that.* And that's what happened.
((I iz so lazy... ;D ))

"Oh my god, honey, that's horrible!" *She cried, leaping across the food to wrap Scarlett in a massive hug.* "That fucking bastard! You know we can charge him with battery and sexual harassment, don't you?"

No, we can't! Then he'll charge Michael with battery, and he'll make everyone believe I'm a whore.

*She placed a hand on Scarlett's face.*
"Hon, he doesn't stand a chance, not with us behind you. Anything Michael did was purely in defense of you, because you were unable to defend yourself. And how can he call you a whore if you didn't do anything? Besides, Jacob Petersen has gotten into some trouble before."
*At that moment, Micaela's maid walked into the room, intending on preparing Scarlett for the day, but blushed and nearly tripped over her own feet.*
"Oh, I'm... I didn't mean to..." *It had been obvious that Micaela and Scarlett were engrossed in private conversation, but she stopped stammering a moment.* "Not to pry, but was you talkin' 'bout Jacob Petersen?"
*Micaela nodded, wondering why the maid felt the need so speak up.* "Yes, Mary, we were."
"Well..." *She blushed a bit.* "I was down by the stables two nights ago, visitin' a... er... friend of mine, and I couldn't help but over'ear..."
((Witness ftw! She was visiting her stable boy lovah, btw.))

*Scarlett's eyes widened as she looked at the maid.* Really?

*Mary nodded meekly.*
"Mmhmm. I was visitin' Freddie, who lives just be'ind the stables... and I heard Mr. Peterson and Mr. Michael... I didn't mean to pry, I really didn't! I didn't see much at all, I promise!" *She said, obviously thinking that she was going to lose her job if she'd been caught spying.*
"No, it's alright, Mary. Tell us what you saw."
*She stepped forward.* "Well, I saw Mr. Petersen kissin' Miss Booth, and I saw Mr. Michael pull 'im away... and I heard the arguin, and I saw Mr. Michael hit 'im. Mr. Petersen's not a good'un at all to be around, Miss Booth. He's never tried anything with me, but wif the other maids... well we tells him off best we can, but he's not to be trusted."

*Scarlett nodded, impulsively reaching out and giving Mary a hug.* Thank you.

*Mary blushed and hugged her back awkwardly before stepping away.*
"It's no problem, Miss. Everyone wants to see that boy get what 'e deserves. As maids, we can't really do much..."
