[Hesitant, but as professional as possible for Edgard]
I'm investigating some missing cutlery from the kitchens. There's a rumor you were seen with a dinner knife.

[hornswoggle]

[ hm. ]

I received a dinner knife, from who knows where. I left it with the kitchen staff, though if they've misplaced it since that's their affair.

[muckspout]

[A rustle of paper as Edgard checks a list and a sense of rising panic]

Are you certain? Did you give the knife to someone in the kitchens directly?

[hornswoggle]

I believe I handed it to one of the maids. But I can't imagine it to be distinguishable from the other knives once returned to the mix.

[muckspout]

[Cough.]

Alright, I will look into it. Do you usually make a habit of returning gifts?

[hornswoggle]

A gift? I was reasonably sure it had been mislaid in the course of the holiday.

[muckspout]

[shit!]
Oh, oh yes of course. If you remember any details about the maid or the knife, let me know.

[pause and then hastily added.]
Or any other kitchen items!

[hornswoggle]

I will surely do so.

[ no. ]
