Thread: An Animal's Trust (DarknessEmbraced666 & TekN0!!!)

Seeing this man made the head maid shiver. Not many people seemed quite fond of Roderick, and it would be a safe assumption that more than half the castle would love to kick him out in a heart beat. Alas, the richer and upper class folk within the castle appeared to be on his side, thus guarantying his stay here within the stone walls of Seraphina's home. Yes, of course. I'll take care of it, Princess. She replied to both of Seraphina's requests, not once letting Roderick from her sight. Nothing about this man seemed genuine, and there were many instances in the past where he was deemed a liar in some shape or form. What was this man made of? Deceit? Maliciousness? Greed? Anything and everything negative under the blue sky, that was for certain, and the head maid was one of the most firm believers in that assumption. She could only hope that perhaps Seraphina might see through his charade as well. She sincerely hoped. Hm? A walk eh? Roderick began, smiling merrily as he wrapped an arm around the young woman, inviting himself to their little walk already. Perhaps I'll tag along? We never truly spent time together, Seraphina. We should connect more. After all, He stopped in front of her and placed both hands on her shoulders, looking right into her eyes with a wistful stare. We're the only ones in our family left. We need to stick together, dear. I would be absolutely destroyed if something were to happen to my sweet, sweet niece. Even if he meant it, the tone of voice was so overdramatic and babying in a way. The head maid wondered if she should snap at him loudly or slap him harder than a wife finding her husband cheating. What nerve he had to talk to her like that, especially with erasing himself from her past. Actually, She chimed in as Roderick was opening his big mouth again. This is more of a, how do you call it? Girls only? She gave the best cheeky smile she could, Seraphina's uncle glaring at her a bit with a stern stare. I'm sure we'd bore you with all our lady chatter. You know, talking about boys and possible suitors. About our female troubles and... coming of age issues. That sort of thing. She attempted to use matters that would no doubt bore a man, but Roderick knew the game well, and turned it around on her. With a nod, he shut his eyes and followed along. Still. Ah, of course. She is of age to be thinking about that. Now, I will tell you, Seraphina. You can get no better advice about men from a man himself. Come now. Ask away. What's on your mind? The head maid was a bit taken aback, but then again she should've expected a turn around like that. She bit her lips, trying to come up with some sort of way to shake him off their tails. My lord, um, you can't truly impose on a young woman like that. I mean, you have years of experience with a woman, I'm sure. Perhaps that's not the most suitable topic for a young lady. Instead, maybe a seasoned lass? She said, batting her eyelashes at him. At first, she thought it worked with his overly cocky chuckle. Yet, he pressed on. Nonsense! My experience will only prepare her for more intimate scenarios. Now, Seraphina, I'm sure you've had these urges , however- My lord! The head maid was blushing a bit, slapping his arm to which he responded with a hiss of playful pain. Zounds, woman! Are you so against me educating my own niece about relationships? She'll have no idea what to do when the time comes! Lord Roderick! This is not a topic to be discussed in the grand halls of our royal castle. Especially not around the Princess. She's fine, she's practically an adult. Don't give me that grief, woman. Now, where were we? Ow! The next thing anyone knew, Roderick was being pelted by the head maid's hat, shushing him indefinitely as they continued on.
