Raoul's eyes follow the movements of the new servant, giving him a nod in response to the bow, before looking at the rest at the table. As Illiendi sweeps out of the room the eldest notices the two middle siblings almost visibly relaxing, and inside he makes note on the odd reaction and decides to investigate. However when his eyes land once more on his youngest sibling he once more smiles, the obvious delight and vaguely more commanding presence of the little squirt comforting in a way. [i]'It is strange, little Amano going and doing something like this. I long ago concluded that he was likely to end up a simple man, with little to his name, and perhaps even content with that. However this. . .This man. . .I see him bringing about a change in my dear little brother. He seems a little taller when this, Illiendi, is present'[/i] As if on cue the demon walks gracefully back in the room, serving the eldest with all he finesse and style he had been showing all morning with the rest of the family.

On the other side of the table said little brother smiles warmly as his new manservant comes back in, his mother mimicking the smile a bit as he serves Raoul with such skill. [i]'You know, even if all of this ends horribly as it began, I think seeing them all like this is by far worth it all'[/i] He chuckles on the inside. For a moment he almost forgets the Illiendi is a demon, and in all likelihood drag his soul to hell when this is all over, to suffer and eternity in agony. Almost.

“So dear, what were you out doing so busily in the morning? What are these rumors your father spoke of?” His mother's voice cuts through Amano's thoughts and a sudden drop in his stomach threatens to show on his face.

He takes a measured sip of his tea before looking to his brother curiously. [i]'I am willing to bet they have a lot to do with what Illiendi did. . .I can see a few of father's business partners being the type to do what was done to me. . .Well, what they tried to do'[/i]
