The girl's chants about the Baron returning brought ill thoughts for Noella, for she never had a father growing up. Still, Noella couldn't let herself daydream and be distracted by personal thoughts. The huntress quickly shook her head to clear her mind, and followed the rest of the party towards the front of the estate, where Veronica's father was just about to arrive according to the elderly butler, James. It was always interesting when the Baron returned, or at least Noella believed. He would always have tales to tell to his servants and daughter, but Noella was often more concerned about her payment, although she didn't have a habit of asking rudely. Taking up this job was one of the ways the huntress was able to support her mother, and Noella knew better than not to anger the Baron and lose her job in the process. She glanced at Jack as he approached Noella, and spoke his concerns. [color=#66FF00]"Please, leave the delicacies to me. I believe it is best that the Baron have a suitable place for Veronica and his' picnic, so I'd rather not worry you with the food."[/color] Noella replied, flashing a smile at Jack in an attempt to ease his worry. Nearly everything was already personally tasted by herself, so Noella felt that there was no more reason for them to be concerned about the food that the Baron and his daughter would soon eat. The few dishes that the whiskered huntress had not tasted before the picture frame incident could be tested by Noella on the spot, or the most likely option, thrown out and fed to the wild animals that habituated the forest on the estate's property. When the elf arrived to join the party of servants, Noella turned her attention to Lucky and gave the boy a nod. He would often bug her to teach him archery whenever the huntress had free time, and after a few minutes of begging Noella would always relent. She didn't always want to spend her time watching Lucky struggle to hit a target, but he was as good a friend to Noella just like the elf was to Veronica. Friends were supposed to do things together, and the huntress often thought it was fun to have some sort of an apprentice or underling to teach the arts of the wilderness. Perhaps even in the future Lucky would be able to save Veronica with the skills Noella taught him when she wouldn't be able to reach her. It was something the huntress hoped would never happen, but it was, indeed, always a possibility. Anything was a possibility with Veronica - if it had a chance to happen, it most likely happened.
