Tanita took the clipboard, and watched Adelaide leave. She considered her for a long moment, then turned back to the boxes. THEY were what she was here to deal with, after all. She calmly went up to them, and began to go through them all. So... four boxes labeled Cavalry. 2 large Grandfather clocks, 1 silver dining set, and a set of 3 really old tapestries. She considered all of them, and her two idiot helpers. She looked them over, then the boxes again. "This looks like it's going to be a fun day, boys. You're doing what I tell you now." She gave them a toothy grin, enjoying the way it made them quail in fear. They knew they'd messed up, and now they knew they had to assist her with the clean up of what they'd done.
"Just remember, you could be liable for any breakage, boys. After all, you weren't careful, and it could be your fault." She couldn't resist the dig, before she turned back to the boxes she had been assigned to handle. "These four. Right here." She tapped them. "Move them to the corner Ms. Adelaide indicated. And do it quickly, I don't have all day to clean up after you." She waited, watching the fools move all four Cavalry boxes into the proper location, then grinned 'sweetly' at them, and summoned them back over, so they could move the next box she needed to work on. This was going to be a busy day.

"Now, for the rest, we're starting with the breakables, boys. CAREFULLY lift that clock box up, and set it here. Put the other one besides it, then get me a nail puller. Now." She snapped her fingers, and stepped back to wait for the fools to do what she told them. Once the nail puller was in her hand, she gestured at them to go sit down, out of the way but nearby so that she could have them get her the other boxes, when she was ready for them. Especially that box of tapestries. Those things might be gorgeous when done well, but they were heavy. She snorted in annoyance, then smiled, slowly, and popped open the first crate. "Ahhh wonderful. Perfect condition. It's gorgeous, too. I would love to have a clock like this at home." She ran a finger along the well carved wood, smiling at it warmly, before placing the lid back on the box.
She moved to the next one, a slight frown on her face. She had noticed, as the boys moved this box, that there had been a slight... tinkly sound, and that they had looked more then a little panicked by it. She carefully popped open the box, and lifted the packing materials. The frown deepened as she saw that the glass was broken. "Oh dear, oh dear me. What a pity. It's another lovely clock, but that glass is broken." She marked it down on her clipboard, and sighed. "Such a sad thing, when a work of art such as this is damaged." She carefully replaced the packing materials, and the lid. "I hope... the glass is replaceable."

"All right. I think I'll be nice. Let's get that smaller box, shall we?" She gestured to the box that had the silver dining set in it, and indicated a nearby table. "Place it there. I need to verify EVERYTHING." As soon as they'd placed it correctly, she opened it up and began to go through the contents. It was a truly elegant set, though she'd never want it herself. Silver was lovely but keeping it polished was just EVER so much work. Yes, of course she could hire some one to do it, but really, now, the idea of some it getting missed and tarnished? Besides, she'd rather have fine china, with delicate patterns painted onto them.
She started with the large pieces, carefully stacking the platters together with the largest on bottom. "All right, that's correct..." She moved onto the plates, the bowls, and the serving set, before dealing with the part she'd been dreading. The silverware, with all those knives and spoons and forks. She took a deep breath and began on them. It took her half an hour to review them all. Twice, in fact, because she was frowning at the spoons. She turned back to the packing crate and began to go through all of the packing material, very carefully, before she sat back,and shook her head with displeasure. "Well well well. Two of you are missing. How displeasing that is." She paused, looked at the idiots who unloaded everything and said "Be glad THIS can't be blamed on you. It was still sealed, after all."

With a deep breath, she sighed as she realized she had finally gotten to the last of the boxes. She walked over to it, ordering the idiots to follow her to it, as she felt there was no real reason to move this last one. Instead, she'd make them lift each tapestry for her and spread them out so she could properly inspect. She carefully opened the lid, making sure no nails slipped, not willing to risk so much as a single thread being snagged in the process. "All right, lift the first piece out, and unroll it. With care, so nothing happens to it." She stepped back, and waited, then looked the ornate thing over. A wonderful image, truly, of a demon Prince taking some fool off for the torment the idiot obviously so richly deserved. The colors were incredible, given the age, and there was minimal damage, indeed just the sort caused by simple time. "Excellent. Roll it up, CAREFULLY, and set it on that large table over there." Once that was done, she gestured at them to lift the next one out. When it was up, she glanced into the box, and then swore under her breath. Another missing object! The third tapestry was nowhere to be seen! She snarled softly, and marked down the missing object on her clipboard, before turning back to the muscle. "Unroll it, and may all that exists help you if you damage it." She was clearly displeased by what had happened, and had no discomfort in taking it out on these fools. Once unrolled, she felt some measure of relief to find that it, too, was in excellent condition for an object of it's age, even if she found the image of a girl with a unicorn insipid at best. "All right, reroll it, and place them with extraordinary care back in the box." She stomped back, and finished out the paperwork.
