Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ada sat in the carriage, her dress wrinkling as the carriage went through a more rough terrain. "Excuse me, Uncle Oscar, would you please care to explain why and where we are going?" She coughed into a glove, her pale, porcelain skin slightly red from the cold. "Hey, didn't I tell you to get some sleep last night? Especially in weather like this." Ada coughed into her elbow at this. "We are establishing relationships with other nobles, we're going to start off with the smaller rate, ones rather than the more important ones such as knights or earls. It will be far easier, and if a downfall were to happen in the household of Vessalius, it would be far easier to negotiate terms of accommodation, say, if we somehow lost all the mansions." "Oh, dear, that would be a problem. By the way, the noble whom we're visiting, does she by any chance have any servants or slaves? It must be quite worrisome not to have at least one." "I believe one or two, not straighten up, we will be arriving at Miss Emma's soon. I advise you act proper like a lady should. Your behavior will affect the household and our social status. No wandering off, you hear? And don't comment on anything unless invited, alright?" Ada nodded her head, why did it matter, acting proper? Wouldn't it be so much easier just to smile and act the way she normally would. Uncle Oscar gave her a pat on the head. "I'm sorry, but it's mandatory. You know I love you, my little darling, it's just that maintaining social status is very important in the world we live in!" Ada smiled at her dear uncle, feeling like a child again. "Oh, Uncle Oscar, hear from Jack? He's been so involved with the Baskervilles and the Nightrays lately, I'm afraid that something is up. Not dear Uncle Jack." "Oh, don't you worry your pretty, little head. I just received a letter in the mail from him the other day! I'll show it to you after I pick you up from you're little meeting. Now hurry along, one must not be late." He waved the piece of parchment in the air in front of Ada as the carriage halted to the door. A servant opened the carriage door for Ada, making it much easier to get out, especially in the clothes she was wearing. "Why thank you." She smiled at the servant, waving good bye to the horseman who drove the carriage and every one else. "Ciao, I'll be back soon!" She smiled, a servant coming along with her. Walking up to the mansion, which, despite its enormous size and beautiful structure, seemed lacking to Ada, however, she thought it had a different type of beauty than any of the Vessalius mansions. It was more flowery and fragrant compared the Vessalius mansions, all which were located near dense forests or grasslands. Knocking on the door with a servant behind, Ada stood there, wondering what type of people lived in there. Her emerald eyes stared in anticipation at the knocker on the door, her beautiful, flaxen hair staying in place for once.
