Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kilik chuckled and waved his head. "No harm done." Sebastien opened the door and Kilik stepped out. A moment later, Marie ran out and hugged him. "Master, you're hooommee!!!" She was definitely more cheerful this time around.

Kilik lightly pat her head. "Yes, yes, Marie, I'm back."

Kilik laughed lightly and watched as Sebastien took his bags inside. Marie continued to flutter about him in her bird-like way as he followed after Sebastien. While the outside looked like hell, everything indoors was crisp and clean with not even a speck of dust. There were fresh flowers in all the vases and pots in order to welcome him home. Sebastien and Marie stood a few feet before bowing. curtsying. "Welcome home, Master."

Kilik nodded his head, a slight smile on his face. "I'm back. Ah...Aaron, would you come inside please? It's still the middle of the night. Wouldn't do to get locked out on your first day here..."

Kilik nodded. "Yes. In order to let me fully relax, I need a cave-like setting, but I like nice smells, so...here you go." He snapped his fingers.

Sebastien came up to Aaron. "I'll lead you to your new room. Follow me."

Kilik walked up the stairs followed by Marie.

Sebastien took Aaron to the servants' hall, which was just one floor beneath Kilik's. The door leading to it had a lock which could only be opened if you had the key, which Sebastien and Marie both had. Once inside, you could see that the manual lock was on the inside. "For our safety and nothing more. Master does not have the keys to this area." He walked a few doors down and stopped. "This will be your room. Right now, it only has the most simple of furnishings, but should you stay on for a while, you'll be given the chance to change things to your liking." He opened the door and let Aaron walk inside. "My room is closest to the door. Marie's is the furthest."

Sebastien nodded his head. "Of course. But make sure you're in before me. I usually lock the door by one. Master is usually up past midnight. But occasionally, he prowls without realizing it. So, he had this hall barred off for us and gave Marie and I keys. Master, he...really cares for us, and even lets us serve him. That's why we love him. That's why...we'll do anything for him." A pause for reflection. "Good night, Aaron." Then he left the room and went to his own.

The next morning, Kilik got up and went into his art room. He unpacked the work he had done during his break. Once that was done, he went back to his room and changed into an open, button-up shirt and some black pants. He didn't bother putting on socks and shoes since he enjoyed walking around his manor barefoot.

Kilik walked downstairs to his sitting room and laid out across one of the couches and opened a book.

A few minutes later, Marie entered the room pushing a tray with Kilik's breakfast on it. "Master! If you leave your feet exposed like that, you'll catch a cold! Oh, and here's today's paper. Seems another loud has been killed off, Lord Neal."

Kilik raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Curious. I didn't think Lord Neal was one to succumb to death so soon and easily."

Kilik nodded his head at Aaron. "Morning. Guess what? Lord Neal is dead. Looks like we have a serial killer on the loose. Though, I'm quite surprised. I figured J.T.R.'ed be the last one. Oh well. I'm sure they'll put that Holes or whatever guy to find him."

Marie sighed. "His name is Sherlock Holmes, Master Kilik. And you really shouldn't mock people like that. It's rude."

Kilik looked at Marie, then laughed. "Haah, you truly are my servant if you reprimand me like that."

Marie shook her head. "There is little I can do, so I do what I can for my Master."

Kilik looked at Aaron. "Hm? What's with that face, Aaron? You look like you've ate something bad. Ah, you didn't touch the fruit in the tree did you? They give one horrid stomach pains if eaten before they're ripe..."
