Derek's eyebrows rose in surprise, then furrowed in confusion. It took him a moment to figure out that the slave meant the night of the festival, when he'd escorted Alcuin home and fed him.
"I don't recall any misbehavior," he said, bluntly. "I remember a slave who had a reaction they couldn't control needing space," he added. "But that's only human."
Unless he was wrong about Alcuin's motive for asking, and he wasn't asking because he was grateful, but because he was disappointed. "Did you want me to?" he asked, carefully. He was fairly certain Scott would side with him on this, and not consider it to be a punishable offense, but maybe Alcuin had been acting out in order to seek out punishment--and that would be something Derek would tell Scott about.
