By the time they reached the fourth floor, Shin finally stopped pretending he could contain his excitement and looked around with open amazement.
"This place is huge!" Shin gasped. Damian glanced back at him and chuckled quietly, continuing up the staircase without slowing his pace.
Shin hurried after him before glancing toward Damian again. "That old demigod was your butler?" he asked curiously.
"Grand Chamberlain, child. You have lived in the Underworld much longer than myself, you should know this." Damian rolled his eyes, clearly amused by Shin's ignorance.
"I've never left the estate, how am I supposed to know?" Shin kicked back, his tone carrying the careless confidence of someone who had already become comfortable enough around Damian to forget exactly who he was speaking to.
