Roxie accepted the page and looked it over quickly.

"All right then" She said with a nod.

"I certainly hope I can surpass your expectations." She said with a light smirk before taking her leave of him and heading off.

He watched her head off, before smirking slightly.

'Heh.' he thought.

'She's perfect. Absolutely perfect.' he thought further.

About 10 minutes later, Roxie had finished organising the washroom, and had stepped out into the hallway, where she did, indeed, find someone waiting for her there.

It looked to be a younger male, possibly early 20's, and he looked a little on the restless side. He ran a hand through his light brown hair, before looking over towards her, his eyes also brown, but more hazel than anything else.

"Oh, hello." he greeted her.

"You're the Master's new maid, yes?" he asked.

"I was asked to escort you to the kitchen." he told her further.

Roxie paused as she looked him from head to toe.

"Hello." She greeted with a small smile, resisting th e urge to comment on what she could identify.

"And please, lead the way." She added.

The nodded in response, and started to lead her through the place, down some flights of stairs.

"...so." he said.

"What made you take this job?" he asked.

"Anything in specific?" he asked further.

"I mean, this IS a nice place, and the Master is VERY good to us, but why did YOU choose this?" he clarified.

"And how'd you find out about the job opening?"

"Why? I'm not entirely sure." Roxie admitted after a few seconds.

"I think it was partly because of the fact that it seemed like such a perfect position." She added, seeming to be thinking about it for a few seconds, before opening her mouth.

"I'm not sure. I just know I read it, liked it, and thought to apply." She finished with a shrug. When he asked about how she found the opening, she just chuckled lightly.

"oh! A friend of mine, her mother recommended it." She answered.

"Said she'd heard nothing but good about this place, I was looking for a job... seemed like a perfect match."

"What about you?"

He just nodded in response to all she said.

"All right." he said.

"Fair enough reasons." he told her.

"And... me?" he asked.

"Oh, well... y'know... needed a place to live." he said with a chuckle. "And this qualifies." he added with another light laugh, though Roxie could see there was unease there.

"Oh, what's your name?" he asked.

"I'm Tannyll." he introduced himself.

"Roxanna... But I tend to prefer Roxie. L" was the answer Roxie game. She knew that it was true, that it wasn't something to hide... Not like she was sure he was.

"That's... Most certainly not a common name. Where's it from?" She asked, her voice curious.

Tannyll paused when she asked him that question.

"I... ah..." he stammered.

"Well, I'm from across the ocean." he said.

"It's... it's Irish." he told her. "But I know, I don't really look or sound it." he added, laughing slightly.

"But Roxie, huh? I like that name." he then said, quickly changing the subject.

"Where are YOU from?" he asked her.

As they talked, she noticed they had gone past ground level, and were going deeper.

"Oh, and yes, the kitchen is one floor down from ground level." he told her.

"Greece, actually. Moved here at a super young age though. I was only four." Roxie answering, lying extremely smoothly.

Greece was her country of origin, but it was more that it was where she'd first surfaced.

Not that she was say as much here.

"And the basement? Huh. That's uncommon."

"Basement?" Tannyll commented.

"Oh, no, there's another floor underneath that." he told her.

"But that's for Master's own private usage." he said further.

"Nobody's been there. But he says it's for his own personal museum of art." he went on with a shrug.

"But yes, a kitchen below ground IS a bit weird. But Master can do what he wants, I suppose." he added.

"And Greece? That's really cool." he then said with a small smile.

After a few more minutes, they arrived at a very large kitchen area, with several staff working there... and one of them, an older lady that looked to be in her late-50's...approached.

"Oh, hello, darling." she greeted the young male, a soft kindness and gentleness to her tone.

"Hey Carolina." Tannyll responded, as she looked to Roxie.

"And who might YOU be, dear?" she asked her.

"Name's Roxie." Was the answer that Roxie gave with a soft smile.

"Recent addition to the staff." She added. "Personal attatchment, assistance? I never actually asked the proper term... whatever, personal person for the Master of th ehosue." She added after amoment o two, and with a chuckle.

"And by recent... I mean today is day one." She added with a light laugh.

The woman nodded.

"Ahh, the Master's new attendant." she said.

"Nice to meet you, dear." she told her.

"I'm Carolina, but you can call me Carol if you like." she told her with a smile.

"Now, what brings you both down to the kitchen?" she asked.

"I'm supposed to give Roxie a tour of the place so she can familiarise herself with it." Tannyll responded.

"Roxie is... well, she'll tell you why SHE'S here." he then added.

"Pleasure to meet you." Roxie said before chuckling lightly.

"And right, I was told to get some cheesecake." She then said.

"So tell me what you need me to do for that, as... well... still learning the ropes. I'm a quick study though, so you shouldn't need to walk me through eveyrthing more than just a couple times." She added with a light laugh.

"Oh, there's no need for YOU to do anything, dear." Carol replied.

"You just wait there and I'll get it for you." she told him.

"We have some ready right now." she finished, before heading off.

Tannyll just sighed.

"If the Master found out his personal maid was actually doing any of the cooking or prep work, then he would have a bit of a conniption fit." he told Roxie candidly.

"He's VERY strict about the roles of everyone in this place." he said.

"There's even night staff down here for if he gets midnight cravings." he went on.

"Which... well, they generally get paid to do nothing, but it can get creepy down here when it's all silent and stuff."

Roxie hadn't a chance to say anything before Carolina had headed off to do what it was that she needed to.

"Oh?" She asked after Tannyll said waht he did, specifically about the Master having a coniption fit.

"Would it really be that bad?" She asked. "What if I actually want to go out of my way and help out in one way or another?" She asked, her voice curious. "if you know."

"if you don't, I'll just ask him later."

Tannyll just shrugged.

"I don't... really make much of an effort to learn such things." he told her.

"However, if he ends up REEEEEALLY liking a personal maid, then yeah, she gets to bend the rules ever-so-slightly at times." he went on.

"Just... don't push your luck so early." he warned.

At that point, Carol returned with what looked like the most delicious cake Roxie had ever seen. It was a full cake, but a small one. Just large enough for one person. And it had a red glaze poured over it, with a cherry in the middle. It was on a small silver platter, with silver utensils next to it.

"Here you go, dear." she said, covering the cake with a glass cloche.

"Must not keep the Master waiting." she told her.

"Let's go." Tannyll said to Roxie.

"You can bring that to him, and I'll show you around the place, as I was told to."

Roxie let out a low whistle as she saw what was brought to her.

"Ohhh, that looks quite delish." She commented as she accepted what was handed to her.

"Thank you." She addedbefore looking to Tannyll.

"Lead the way then, my good sir." She added with a nod.

Tannyll nodded in response, and the two of them made their way back to the head of the mansion's room, where he told her to knock on it.

She did, and when she was beckoned to enter, she saw him on his bed, leaning against the headboard, watching a HUGE screen television, with golf playing on it.

He looked over towards her, and smiled when he saw it was here.

"Ah, good." he said.

"Bring it to me and remove the cloche so I may inspect it." he told her.

She did, and he nodded.

"Very good." he said.

"Replace the cloche and set the cake down on the small endtable there." he instructed her, to which she did.

"You may leave now. Be sure to have Tann show you around." he finished.

Roxie nodded.

"Of course." She said before heading to the door. Before leaving, she paused, turned back to him, curtsied as one might expect from someone who took a position such as this seriously, said a line in the vein of 'please letm me whenever I can be of further help', before leaving, a slight smirk on her face.

If I keep that up, I'm reasonably sure this will go well. She thought as she closed the door behind her.

"All right, Tann, let's see the rest of this palce."

Tannyll looked at her and nodded.

"Okay, let's go then." he said.

And so they did. Roxie was shown around, and she took mental notes about where everything was. She wasn't shown the servents quarters area, but that was because there would be no need for her to go there.

"Master's personal maid is considered to be above the rest of the staff." Tannyll told her.

"You're free to associate with us, but there will never be a need to visit where we all live and sleep and such." he reasoned.

"Oh, and no basement." he said.

"NOBODY is allowed to see the Master's art collection, but the Master."
