Haku frowned at the deepness of the snow, hoping Zabuza wouldn't have to walk through it for long. He held his pet close to his chest as they began traveling- the rabbit a little startled by their movement. "Good..." he murmured. He would have to gather as much information as possible, to figure out the best way to work with the lord. He continued to hope he wasn't as lustful as his brother. "How far away is this Lord's home?" he asked, his false femmanine softness ringing out.

"The other side of the village." Zabuza said and gave a grunt as the cart got stuck for a moment. "I was told that he likes his peace and prefers to be at the edge of the village. He also likes it out there because he has two small children, five year old twin girls. The rest of the information I was given by our employer I don't trust. The reason why he wants is brother dead is because he's jealous of him." he didn't care for people who were obsessed with material things. While he himself did want more power and control over things, he wasn't obsessed with money. It was something else he wanted.

Haku gave a small nod, calming his pet slightly by rubbing it's ears. Children... he thought, trying to conjure up an image of what they might look like. "Most of our jobs are through jealousy, or just someone getting in the way of power...." he murmured, mostly to himself.

It became a little easier to walk when they reached the main road, but unfortunately they wouldn't be on it for long. "If this snow keeps up, we may end up getting stuck up here even after our mission is over. We'll have to be careful with this; it wouldn't be easy to hide the death of a Lord for very long." Zabuza cursed the weather more, hating the Snow country even more than he had before.

Haku frowned a little at that. "We'll have to time it right..." he murmured quietly. His chest was starting to hurt a little, and he reached a hand to rub at it. He shifted his gaze to watch the scenery pass by, one hand still holding his pet close so.

"I'll leave that up to you."
About fifteen minuets later, the Lords mansion finally came into view. It wasn't as large as his brothers, but this one was much nicer, more art to it. There was a lit path, that was clear of snow, that lead up to the main house. Also unlike their employers mansion, this one had no wall surrounded it and only three buildings all together.
Zabuza came to a stop a few feet from the stairs and eyed a man that was standing there, apparently waiting for them. He moved to the side of the cart and held out his hand for Haku. "May I present Lady Hakuhyou."
"Ah, yes, Lord Nasake has been expecting you. Please, come inside and warm yourselves by the fire." the man stood to the side and waited beside the door.

Haku took Zabuza's offered hand, sliding out of the cart with his other hand holding his pet close. He contemplated grabbing his things, but had a feeling someone would come out to retrieve them. He then shifted to walk carefully, and step up the stairs. "Thank you." He said politely as he walked up to the man, and then moved inside the building to sit, as bid.
As Haku thought, a servant came out and collected his things to put them in a room, leaving Zabuza free to follow Haku inside.

Kiba followed Shino and sat down opposite of the other. "If Akamaru has to go, I do too." he replied. "Not that he's going to get himself kicked out or anything." Akamaru whined a little at the subtle warning and stopped moving around as much.

((DTT do you want to play the twin girls seems they'd probably following Haku around a lot?))
Zabuza found a place to stand off to the side, but still close by to Haku. He could hear other voices nearby and wondered if one of them was their new host and target.
"Lord Nasake will be with you in just a moment. He is currently attempting to get his two daughters to bed. Can I get you some tea or something while you wait?" While he was addressing Haku, he also looked at Zabuza, treating him just like a guest instead of just a servant.
Shino couldn't help himself and gave a slight smile. "Shall I ask the waitress to put your plate on the floor so you two can share?" he picked up one of the menus left on the table and began looking through it.

((Sure))
"I'm fine, thank you." Haku murmured politely, resting his hands on his legs.
Secretly, two small heads peered in the door, one on each side. Blue eyes gazed inside, long brown hair trailing over tiny shoulders. Each of them wore nightgowns- the same color.
"That's one of them?" The twin to the right of the door asked quietly to her sister. Her name was Shinta.
"I think so.... she's so pretty!" the second twin replied. Her name was Aiime.
"Do you think Otousan will think she's pretty?" Shinta asked her sister, then grinned.
"Definately!" the girls said in unison, still quiet, though they were being a little louder then they thought.

Kiba gave Shino a blank stare. "No, no. I think I'd prefer to sit up here." he replied sarcastically. Following Shinos actions, Kiba picked up a menu as well, glaring at it somewhat. He figured he could glare at Shino through the menu, rather than out right.

Zabuzas attention moved around the room, looking for the source of the giggling he heard. Deciding to ignore it, he looked back to the door.
A few minuets later, an average built, yet well dressed and handsome man came out. His hair was long and black, held up by a black silk ribbon. The kimono he wore was also silk and black with a gold dragon on the front. He gave Haku a smile when he saw 'her', and a nod to Zabuza.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I am Lord Nasake, it's a pleasure to meet you." he gave a small bow in front of Haku and then smiled, his teeth pearly white. "You must be Lady Hakuhyou? I hope the snow wasn't too much trouble for you, but I'm afraid it's like this a lot here in the Snow country."
This is the brother? He seems to be the complete opposite of our employer. Zabuza thought as he watched carefully as the man interacted with Haku.

Shinta and Aiime went completely silent as their father entered the room with Haku and Zabuza.
Respectfully, Haku stood when Lord Nasake entered the room, and then returned the bow. "The snow wasn't too bad... just traveling in it." he said in reply with a polite smile. He then looked to Zabuza. "This is my servant, and bodyguard, Zabu." He introduced him so the Lord would be more comfortable having him around.

"I hope you two enjoy your stay while you are here. I'm sure there are plenty of things here that will entertain you as I do my best to make my home comforting to anyone who enters." Nasake looked at Zabuza. "You will find that you will be treated as a regular guest here too, Zabu-san. There is no servant status here. Now, shall I show you around now?" he offered his arm to Haku and a warm smile.
"Are you pouting now, Kiba? I was only trying to joke with you, but I guess it didn't turn out right. Forgive me at my attempt at humor." Having decided on what he wanted, Shino set his menu to the side and waited for the waitress.

Haku took the offered arm and returned the smile. He jumped slightly when he heard a small squeek, and a defiant 'put me down!' in unison from two young voices. He glanced over to the door, where there was a male with two young girls- one over each shoulder.
"Lord Nasake... I've captured some rogues from the bedroom... shall I return them there?" The male asked, winking lightly at Haku as he began tickling the girls a little after they gave a 'Nooo!'
