...this is quite a few questions! I'll try my best.
1. What is his name? Francesco.
2. Where does he live? Currently, in the servant rooms of the Doxe palace. He shares with three other boys of roughly his age.
3. When is his next birthday? Not for another nine months.
4. Does his physiology suggest he has been taking opiates? Yes, though he's not deeply entrenched as he's newer in service than some of his colleagues.
5. When he last ate? The servants' morning meal, rye bread with pottage and, blessed day, an egg.
6. Slept? Last night, some six hours.
7. Anything the kid can tell them about the schedules of the Doxe and/or his staff and does he know any good hiding places in there? That's above his pay check. He knows that the Doxe retires early and begins his days late because of his sickness, typically taking his correspondence and morning meal in his bedchamber — the servants are happy for this, as they can clean the various reception rooms without navigating the Doxe. Francesco is a servant, so not very prone to spying, he'd just tell you to hide things where you find drawers or space. There are furnitures, after all.
8. Any interactions with the Doxe? Not really: he handles the sweeping, the mopping and the silver polishing — that's too crude to be done in the Doxe's presence.
9. Anything strange going on with the other kids? Some randomly disappear, and there is no trace of them. Hence why he too wants to leave urgently, never mind his service contract. But he'll be beaten and brought back if he tries to leave peacefully, since money has already paid in advance to his family, for his toil.
10. Did his family make a deal to get him? To get him back? No, his family doesn't expect him. To get him into the palace? The standard service contract, no more, as far as the boy knows.
