Scarlet hadn't been invited into a noble's home for a long time. Ever since she left Therin with her aunt actually. She quickly pushed away that thought as the steward of the manor came b-lining for her. Scarlet adjusted her hat so it caste a shadow across her un-scarfed face. The Steward stopped a few feet away, a nose curled at her "Monsieur...Nox, is it? I have tolde Lady Orland about your off...business transaction and she wishes to speak with you." He clipped each of his words as if the very thought that his Mistress had interest in an urchin made him want to vomit "If you would follow me...and please do not touch anything, we wouldn't want any dirt now would we?"
Without another word the Steward began the winding journey which led up to Lady Orland's study. Scarlet tried her best to remember each turn and hallway but it slowly all morphed into the same hallway and staircase. They stopped abruptly in front of a grand door. The Steward span around to eyeball Scarlet again "When in the presence of our lady, I warn you to only speak when spoken to. Do not sit down unless she tells you to. And do not make direct eye contact."
The Steward knocked on the door, awaited until a voice rang out "Come in" And swung the door open. Ellen Orland
