Thread: Dynasty of Blood (Alvis Alendran & Danidoo88)

Gabriel made a note of Judith's response, the way that she seemed to try and salvage some standing from her response, adn teh way she stormed out. He closed his eyes a moment, and then opened them again, trusting that all he needed to accomplish would be taken care of. It would not be swift, but it would be absolute. And it had no bearing whatsoever on what he was doing now, and forced his mind back on task. Do lead on, He said by way of agreement. She wasn't wrong, there was a thirst from his travels, but it wasn't something that he thought tea was likely to slake. But that was an issue for another time. It had been some time since he'd been in a house like this for a purpose like this. But it did him some good, reminding himself how the majority of people lived in this area. He had little doubt that after a few months of receiving hte stipend for Cat's service her family would be easily on hte rebound, and likely looking for better accommodations for themselves. The sitting room was...well, he supposed it was a room that fulfilled it's purpose admirably in it's own way. Few families this far out in the villages would have something as elaborate as a drawing room or parlour. That was not a failing on their part. Simply the facts of their lives. He saw the table witht he tea on it, and opted not to take the seat at the head of the table, as this was not his home. Still, he had one other task that needed doing. he stepped to a chair, adn slid it back, making the gesture for Cat to be seated in the chair, the classic gentleman's gesture for a lady. It was true that there would be few that might do this for someone that they intended as a servant, but Gabriel saw no reasons not to indulge in such a thing. It was a rare thing to be able to actually put his long years of etiquette traing to use. And if Cat was impressed, or at least pleased with the level of defference that he showed her, well, so much the better. Even as a servant to him, she was not property, simply a person in his employ. And as such she would deserve a modicum of respect from him. To disparage those that might serve him would not accomplish anything that was useful. he slid the seat in once she had sat down, and then moved to the chair across from her, giving them both the chance to look at one another without anything in the way. He let his cloak drape over the back of the chair, glad it would only come to the bottom of his shoulder baldes, and sat himself down. His cloak seemed to all but swallow the chair up, but once he was seated, he offered the hint of a smile to Cat. Here they were, and he knew that this interaction would likely be the one that would likely cement whether she came to work with him or not. The driver out front watched as Judith and her daughter were leaving, and took note of them. He went rigid a momenta thought intruding into his mind before passing. he shuddered. It had happened many many times, but he never quite got used to it. He opened the small document case that was kept with the carriage, usign the lamps of the carriage to quickly fiull in what needed before sealing it with Gabriel's seal, a symbol of a rampant dragon. He hopped off the carraige, and jogged after the women. Your pardon madam! He called, stepping closer to her, adn extending the sealed document. You mentioned that you intended to have a solicitor examine your case against my master, so it may benefit you to give him this. He explained. A simple enough task to accomplish.
