Re: Monsutāmeido (Monster Maids)
Submerged in his own thoughts, Sommar almost missed the whole exchange, and was left helplessly silent as the master fixed herself some food. His left hand reached for his right arm, above the elbow, gripping tightly of it apprehensively, a minor but still present sense of defeat washed over him, this was definitely a failure on the maids’ and his’ end that should not repeat itself.
Thankfully smallest, horned, girl spoke words parallel to his thoughts, keeping his concern at bay before dinner started, with no more bumps other than perhaps a mishap of bodily nature here and there.
“I was wondering, should we decide the division of tasks tonight or tomorrow? I do ask because it’s important to settle that before we’re actually required to perform our tasks next time.”
He couldn’t help but to overhear the two maids scheming on the side, though, the serpent maid was anything but subtle in her inquire of sharing a bed, though he had to admit the request itself was not strange, compared to how forthcoming Jacqueline was with the tantamount of complete strangers.
He smiled a little bit, imagining that despite not knowing each other properly yet, she felt comfortable enough to request something like that. On the other hand, it could be a concerning case of blind trust, though he reminded himself of the dexterity and strength inherent to Jacqueline’s species… in which case the one at risk was the smaller girl.
Should he interject? He didn’t want to jump to any hurried assumption with no proof of intent or concern. “Miss, Rhys, Miss Jacqueline…” He cleared his throat, deciding to interject seeing the smaller one’s shaky demeanor and answer.
“I apologize for eavesdropping, but I heard the exchange, if I’m not overstepping miss Rhys boundaries, I could volunteer in her stead, my species might be less well known but everyone knows of the ‘warm’, shall we say, nature of a dragon.”
