“.. Why do you desire to know? And why are you even up here.. you did what you see now… so I see no reason for you to care…”
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-time for Star-star-
Star was by no means a good eavesdropper. Sure, most of his information came from listening in but mostly his eavesdropping was accidental. He just heard pieces of gossip from the servants and just picked it up. Which meant he knew almost everything about every servant's life but next to nothing about his own.
He knew that two weeks ago, the scullery maid's sweetheart had proposed to her.
He knew that the under-gardener's boyfriend had just left them for another.
He knew that the cook's daughter had just changed her name.
He knew the head gardener's father had just died.
He knew everything apart from what was going on in his own life.
Now, he was trying to eavesdrop. Sitting on the stairs by the drawing room, watching the unimaginatively coloured wall across from him. Though all he could really see was the unimaginative colour.
"Are we really sure this is a good idea?" Star's ears perked up at his mother's question. He hadn't realized he'd zoned out and stopped listening. "I mean, Star's never even been outside. Don't you think this might be a bit... much for him?"
