Re: Dread Beginnings (Guan Yu, Mamono Assault Force, xivvix) GMed by Termite
With Anael poking and prodding the woman quite incessantly she earned the reserved and quiet fury that only a haughty soul could give another. The fact that Annette seemed so incensed by this could be considered curious given that she didn't seem all that spectacular when compared to her brethren, but then again an arrogant demon wasn't exactly all that uncommon. One could even argue that her ability to restrain herself was the actual surprise, the only real sign of her foul mood being the frown she wore and the light tapping of her fingers on the table.
"Cleaning crew?" But all that couldn't seem to faze the other demon, and as Nathaniel turned to give his sister an inquisitive look those fingers finished drumming. Annette met his eyes a moment later, and some of that haughtiness managed to dissolve while she appeared to be considering how to answer his question. "I believe she just called us janitors." That puzzled look continued for a few seconds, then realization struck him hard. "Oh! No no no, that's not what I meant. We were hired as care-takers. You know how some humans' minds just break after so much abuse? We were assigned to look after and care for them because they still had a use. For demons and others like yourself who need more than just bread and water to survive. Unfortunately we were attacked while trying to transport some of them elsewhere, and we would have been in trouble had the Lady not arrived when she did.
"Oh..." The man seemed to remember something, and he immediately rose and managed to pull his sister with him before getting the both of them to bow. "We never did properly thank you for saving us. And since you saved our lives and put yourself at risk doing so we are indebted to you. We will try out best to serve you even if our original purpose is no longer needed." "This we swear, Lady Bachsmien."
With the dinner show winding down to an end not much else rose to interrupt the meal. Gerald simply stood to the side looking inconspicuous while awaiting any requests, and a couple of the other servants rose to accept the dirtied dishes once someone had finished eating. The only exception happened to be Mina. With her fingers they way they were she kept herself from handling and scratching the rather fine looking dinnerware, but where the butler was trying to meld into the scenery the young spider was actually standing rather proudly. If one were to guess one could say that she was even making it a point to reveal what curves she had directly to Isabell. And with her eyes glancing over whenever she thought nobody would notice it was quite clear she was trying to garnish the demonic warrior's attention. It was only when everyone had finished that Gerald put any effort into making his presence known, and all it took was a minor yet respectful nod toward Lieze. "Does the Lady require anything else, or would she like to inspect the grounds?"
