-returns with the tea and serves it to them, placing the saucer on the table near them-
Here is your sweet tea Massu, and the lady's Bangel Spice with a sprig of mint...
-purrs a bit as his tails flick, turning around to grab a tray stand full of cookies-
And the treats to go with most tea...
Crazed ohhed and looked up at the guest as his ears twitch. Those once red
eyes diminished to yellow as he gave a small bow. "Welcome, I see you
found the library with ease. Would you like some tea? The water is still warm
and we have plenty of flavors to make the best cup you desire, or coffee if
that is your wish," He gestured to the seats for her to pick and lounge in; not
wanting to impose that she sit near them if that was her preference. Those
two tails flicked softly behind him as he purred away with a catty grin. "I
promise that we behave quite well."

Steele sat down in a chair and ran his fingers through his long, black hair as he sat his tanto in front of him. He was hoping for a bit of silence and some time away from his brothers and knowing Dietrich, he was raiding the fridge and searching for an ashtray. As for Flint, there was no telling. Steele would remain in his little corner and try to blend in as much as possible for now. He needed a break from his line of work for but a moment.
As Steele pulled his ashtray out of his bag, a small mirror fell out. He picked it up and peered into it, seeing a face with prominent traits passed down from English noblemen and some of German origin. It bothered him to see how much of his father he favored. Then again, he mother was far worse, but thankfully had little to no features he had to even remotely favor her. he shook his head and threw the mirror out the window before lighting a cigarette. No use dwelling on something one had no choice in.

Melody's ears perked up as someone spoke. She wondered more about the people in the the manor, maybe they were all bad. Not that she had met someone that was bad, but she was a pessimist. She let out a sigh, and walked further into the library. She wanted to laugh as a man gave her a small bow, the girl not too sure how to respond. She rose ad eyebrow, a small smile playing on her lips. "Well thank you." The girl spoke, her tone soft. She ventured even further into the library. Melody took a seat, and looked at the different teas that she could sample. Melody sat further away from the group, close enough to be apart of the conversation, but far enough to act that she wasn't part of the group. The girl had never been a fan of tea, but who was she to deny such a gesture of kindness. She turned to the man that had offered her a seat. "So, have you been in the manor long? It seems I am new enough to get completely lost." Her words came out as a purr, a soft and sweet tone.

*Takes the tea that Crazed handed her and was about to greet the new guests to the room when she remember her place. Remaining seated she allowed Crazed to do his job.* Good evening Miss Grey, how are you finding the mansion so far? *Keeping her eyes on Miss Grey, she also watched as Steele walked into the room and took a seat that was the furthest from everyone else in the room. After watching him mess around with a few things and pull out a cigarette and light it she became a bit jealous of him.* It was not proper for the Lady to smoke in front of her guests she recalled a certain person telling her.Hello to you as well Star, Stone magic you say? I don't recall knowing anything about it. *She then leaned back on the couch to watch everyone and listen to their conversations, taking a sip of her tea.*

Steele could feel eyes on him and he knew exactly who's eyes they were. This made him smile, at least until he noticed she seemed a bit envious of him for a brief moment. He knew why and smoker's karma was something he didn't mess with. Steele slowly got up and figured she show off another one of his tricks, seemingly fading out of sight for what seemed like a second and appearing next to the red haired woman with a cigarette in his hand. As he held it out to her, he kept his family's signature, golden eyes locked on her and used his free hand to brush his hair back, allowing more light to grace his hues to optimize the amount of color that could be perceived in them. Around the time Steele moved, his older brother, Flint entered the library, dropping a guitar case at his little brother's feel before finding an empty chair and planting his rear in it. He then grabbed a book from his bag with a 'do not disturb sign taped to it and paid his head on the table in front of him, opening the book and placing it on top of his head.

Areya watched all the guests and responded to them in turn when they spoke to her, but noticed out of the corner of her eye that Steele had stood up. Curious about this male and his brother's she had started to turn her head and watch him when he disappeared for a moment and was suddenly by her side. She watched as he held out the cigarette to her. She looked around the room to see if anyone was watching her and then locking her bright sapphire blue eyes with his golden ones motioned for him to flip it so that she may take a drag off of it and not get caught. While having eyes locked on Steele she had noticed the one called Flint come into the room. None to quietly either. But she paid him no heed as she was looking forward to the nicotine presented to her.

Steele smiled softly and moved towards her ear as if he were going to whisper something into it, blocking any view of his lips that could be gained with his hand. The young man never spoke, but he figured it would make for a good distraction so Areya could take a drag or two off of the cigarette and get her fix. Maybe, if he was lucky, he'd be able to leave the property every once and a while to get his. Human food didn't sate him and he needed something more potent to get by. That and he knew she wouldn't let him sink his teeth into a demon who came to stay at her estate. Given, he knew she wouldn't have a clue about the eating habits of him and his brothers, but maybe he could get flint to translate his little hands signs or someone would slap some paper and a righting utensil in front of him so he could actually communicate with those around him when he felt like being bothered by people. Steele's eyes shifted around for a moment before before they shifted towards Areya for a signal that she got what she had wanted before he would take his cigarette back and decide whether or not he would wake Flint up from his nap. Knowing Dietrich, he'd be on his way here too in order to do the same.

Melody shifted in her seat slightly. She was uncomfortable for some reason. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she was in a room with complete strangers. That didn't seem right. The more likely answer was the fact that she didn't have anything to say. It was strange for the aspiring author to have nothing to say. She was normally able to read a room and find something to say. This was not one of those times. She was actually struggling to find the words that played around in her head. The girl let out a sigh, perking up when the lady started to talk. A smile came to her lips, even if it was fake. "I like the mansion. It is a bit large and a little confusing, but there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe I just need a map." The girl spoke in a cool tone. It was like she was in charge of the words rather than letting the words take her. Melody's eyes shifted as a young man pulled out a cigarette. She had never been on to smoke, but that didn't mean she didn't like the smell of a nice cigarette.

When the man leaned in as if to whisper in Areya's ear he presented the cigarette to her lips. She quickly took one drag and blew it out then a bit slower took a second held it for a moment and blew it out as well. She new from the moment this one passed her in the foyer that one fateful night that she would like him. And eventually after meeting the other two brothers Areya also knew she would like them too and that there had been a reason the estate let them in. They all had their good points and bad points, but she could feel using her connection to the estate and the mansion that they were not bad people, just cautious and very caring for each other. After she gave him the signal she had had her fix, Areya looked into his face again. She could tell he wanted to say or ask something but knowing that he had never talked in anyone's presence here and only seemed to communicate with his brothers through hand signals she simply smiled and said, "My you are a crafty one aren't you?" then winked at him. Areya had then heard Miss Grey respond to her earlier question and turned to reply to her. "Well Missy Grey, I'm certain we can get Crazed here to come up with a map to help you feel more at ease. But be fair warned that no map could help you if you happen to wander into the hedge maze. You still seem a bit uncomfortable here besides not knowing your way around and I understand. Once you start to get to know the other guests, residents, and staff I'm sure you will become more relaxed." She gave a genuinely warm smile to the lady to let her know she would be there for her anytime she needed her.

Steele smiled a bit at her and looked over at Steele, walking over to his back and pulling out a pen and a notebook before returning to the couch Areya was sitting on. Not long after, he took another drag form his cigarette and began running the pen across the paper with rather elegant movements. Once he was done writing, he turned the paper towards her. 'What thief isn't crafty, what hunter isn't subtle, and what weapon isn't precise?' Read the words on the paper. It didn't take long for the youngest of the three living weapons to make their way into the mix and as Steele had suspected, he had found some apples and an ashtray. Steele quickly snapped his fingers and held his hand up in time to catch the apple he was signalling for, then gave his brother a nod as he watched him sit on the table Flint was as and lean down towards him. "Lint, lint." Dietrich whispered. "What Deet?" The eldest of the three replied. "Want an apple?" Flint looked up and pointed towards the sign on his book. "Friggin' stiff."

Melody smiled at the lady of the mansion. She was slightly uncomfortable with what was going on in front of her. The fact that the lady was taking a drag from someone else's cigarette just didn't settle well with the girl. Melody let out a sigh, shifting in her chair again. That was when the lady looked at Meldoy. The other woman seemed to know exactly what to say to make her guests feel at ease. Melody smiled, trying to find the words to speak. "Well, I will be sure to stay away from the hedge maze. I wouldn't appreciate being lost for a long period of time." The girl spoke easily, a smile on her lips. "So, this mansion has been passed down from your family, correct. How long has it been in you family?" The girl asked, truly wondering more about the mansion and its lady.

"I have been here for a while..." Crazed nodded and grinned showing a bit of
his teeth. He stifled his purrs while watching her pick herself something to
eat and / or drink. The butler turned to look at the others who entered letting
them do as they pleased since they seemed to know the lady and the house
quite well. He smiled back at Melody. "You can call me Crazed Confession,
or any nickname you think of really. And if you do need a map I can make
one for you of course." He nodded and gave a small bow as he wandered
over to the Lady.
"Just because I said it was unlady like for you to smoke at your party doesn't
mean that you can't smoke at your own leisure..." He smiled and looked her
in the eyes, showing his red pupils. "But be sure that if you hate how things
smell and I cannot rid of it, it wasn't from me, Areya..." He smiled as his
eyes went back to yellow, going to wander and clean up a bit at things in the
library. He even was careful enough to swipe the book off of Flint's face, and
the sign onto the young man's lap, chuckling as he put a clean towel in
replacement of the book. "If you wish to sleep properly I can find a room to
let you borrow instead of becoming stiff in the chair..." He smiled and started
to purr looking at Dietrich. "But please..." He looked down at Flint. "Do be
careful with the books, most of them are first editions that the Stormbringer
family has collected after all..."

With just as much ease as the book was taken from him, Flint snatched it back. Then Dietrich looked up at the man with but a single brow raised, clutching the filter of a cigarette between his teeth. Then Flint spoke up. "Duly noted and I'd take it to heart if I had actually grabbed a book from the shelf and not my bag." Dietrich nodded lightly and stepped back. He hated the sounds cats made. Hell, he hated cats more than his brother did and as he turned away to find a new place to sit, he shuddered a bit just thinking about the furry tyrants. Flint then looked over at Dietrich. "Deet. Do you have another smoke?" Dietrich tossed him a cigarette, then an apple before sitting down in a seat not far from his brother. "Do we even need a room?" Flint shook his head. "Just a relatively cold area to keep Steely from sleeping in bathtubs and walk in freezers."

Areya watched as Steele walked over to his brother's bag and came back with paper and pen to sit next to her and begin writing. Waiting patiently for him to finish writing she answered Miss Grey. "The best answer I can give you on that is since the beginning, either of time and this planet or since the magic of this place let it's self be known. You see there are at least 60 recorded generations here and we know it goes back further than that as well as each generation living hundreds of years. So to be honest I'm not sure how long it has been in our family."Areya then turned her attention back to Steele as he held up the paper for her to read. After reading it she let out a soft giggle and said "You are so right my friend, if I may call you that." Lifting a brow in question to him. "Now that you have that pen and paper maybe you could tell me or ask me what it is you seem to have been wanting to for a while now", she said. Areya turned her head to watch as the third brother walked in and what he was up to. They never seemed far from each other, she thought when Crazed walked over to her and gentle scolded her. Knowing he was teasing her and grateful for his friendship she sometimes wished that he would relax more in front of the guests like he did when they were in the resident quarters or playing games together. After leaving her and going over to the other two brothers she watched as Crazed scolded them as well in a playful tone. She knew he was teasing them because he also knew they didn't care for cats in any form. He almost seemed to take pleasure in teasing them when ever he could and this brought another smile to Areya's face. But she spoke up to the boys anyhow and said "You know you do have rooms to stay in and they are lovely, but if you wish to sleep in other places that is fine too. I just ask that you please quit being such tyrants to my devoted butler." Areya couldn't hold it in and began laughing out loud, loving being able to tease the four of them at once.
