Rudolf is Strange
So it was Odette and not Rudolf.
Rain didn't know where else to vent her anger on. In fact, she didn't know the basis for her infuriation any longer. She couldn't possibly carry her aggression over to the new maidservant who had gotten on her good side 'over night'.
Feeling her anger dissipate, Rain said nothing at last. Under Rudolf's boring glare and Odette's apologetic bow, she could only nod and walk back dolefully to continue her clueless cooking
.
However, she'd only just managed to set some woods through the hollow of the spit, when she overhead Rudolf divulging things she never thought someone of his caliber could.
She could try to understand why he was grumpy towards her for no just reason, but how could be so petty to go as far as painting her black like this. And in her very presence!
