Two men walked passed the gate of Louis's mansion. They were arguing about something unknown as they reach the gate. Steven waved to announce his departure.
"Who is this other man?" The head guard stopped them as they were about to go out.
"He is my apprentice." Steven introduced the other man to the guard.
"What is your name?" The head guard asked, staring suspiciously at the other man.
"He can't talk," Steven replied again.
"But he wasn't with you when you arrived earlier, how did he come in?" The guard was speaking to Steven, but his watchful eyes were on the other man.
"I would have told you to ask him, but he can't speak," Steven started, his tone harsh and mocking. "However, don't you think that question demeans you as a guard here? I mean, if you can't account for the job for which you were hired, how should I? If you can't tell when someone comes in, how do you think I should? After all, he couldn't have crawled through tunnels to go in could he?"
