Edward had left his room. He did so on occasion usually when he was looking for something and he couldn't find it. There was a pull cord that was supposed to summon a servant but he often forgot about it. While he'd come from wealth, the Blackwood family owned numerous munitions factories in America, he had mostly ignored it once he'd gotten to school. He was an odd mix of not good at caring for himself but not one for imposing on others. Which was part of why he was so hard to deal with in general.

Meandering through the corridors he manages to find the servant's quarters which seemed like a good start. He was looking for salt and that would be in the kitchen so he was in the right area he was sure. Hearing the sound of a voice he wanders towards it finding a closed door, he knocks once but it was not as closed as he'd thought. It had been open a crack and now it was open fully revealing Ruth nursing Jacob.

"Oh hello!" He says smiling at her in no way bothered by this. "Where is the kitchen? I need some salt for an experiment."
