Marie had received an owl from Carter asking her to meet him in the kitchen for a midnight snack. Since she couldn't sleep anyway she figured she'd sneak out and show him that she was still alive... even though she didn't go to the feast earlier.

Well she would be alive as long as Lafay didn't catch her. At least she didn't have as far to go as Carter did so less chance for her to get caught.

Once she finally made it to the entrance she tickled the pear then quietly went into the kitchen and sat at one of the counters. Now to wait for Carter to show up. Hopefully he wouldn't get caught making his way all the way down there.
