Thread: A Matter of Size (Elvish and LemonSpark)

It was nearly sunset as a female, who looked no older than 20, paced around the hallway, looking agitated. This half-cat, half-human female was one of the main servants to the presiding lord. She took care of the cleaning and most of the cooking. The one thing she doesn't take care of was the land outside the manor. She would, normally, have no problem offering her help to the half-giant that worked the lands. It irritated the young neko that the slightly older male took care of it by himself. It wasn't as if they were they only two servants in the care of the lord. No, there was about 200 servants altogether. However, today seemed as if all the forces of nature were working against those inside the manor. The female looked back on the earlier events that caused her near melt-down. It was a seemingly beautiful day in Lund. As the young neko was awoken in her cot, she felt the hairs on her tail and back of the neck raise. As if she was aware of the coming problems. Their lord had left the manor a few days ago to do business in the neighbouring country of Triand. As the female had changed into her working clothes, a light beige shirt with tan skirt. Her mahogany hair bundled up into a braided bun. She got up slowly and walked into the quite manor. It was... eerie to say the least. Normally, there would be shouting of who to do what but there wasn't and it set the female on edge. Her mahogany and black tipped ears perked up for a sign of 'life' in the manor. She walked into the kitchen to see a few servants crowding another. She frowned. 'What in the nine layers of hell, do those idiots think they were doing? Just because the master had left doesn't mean that they can laze about.' thought the neko. One of the girls finally spotted her and waved her over. What is going on? she hissed out, her brows furrowed. The girl who noticed her frowning and told her. It seems as if the oven is broken and Miho is paying for it. explained the female. Serenity frowned. Miho was like her, a neko. She pushed her way through and wanted to scream at the site of the poor girl. Miho's hands were bloodied and blistered. She turned to shoo the rest away for what is going on. Go. The master is returning in a day. We need the manor spotless. I will take care of Miho said Serenity with a glare. Her tail lashed behind as she dared the others to disobey. She was one of the younger servants but she was more commanding than the others and normally took over. Serenity shuddered that was only the beginning of the problems. It seems as if with the master gone, things just go south and end up with them whipped for their stupidity. She sighed before looking out at the fields. She frowned, seeing a lone figure out there still. Was he still working? The thought made her shudder. He was extremely hard working but the night were freezing and she didn't want him to get injured. She moved out of the hallway to go into the kitchen. She knew that the half-giant didn't eat anything and was probably tired but she, also, knew that he needed to eat and she was normally the one who brought him his dinner. She grabbed a few slices of bread as well as a wedge of cheese. She grabbed a pitcher of water. She smile as she stepped out in to the chilly air as the sun was finally falling. She didn't know how long she was thinking about the earlier events but it seemed long enough for the sun to be nearly gone. She steadily walked over to the male. She was petite to his towering figure. She gave him a small frown. I do hope that your going to be putting that away soon. she said, softly, hoping to not startle him. I brought you your dinner, uh... she trailed off blushing. Out of all the times she's brought his dinner, she never ask for a name. Serenity felt like such a child for forgetting. It was the basic of manners.
