[u][center][h3]Marianne's Seven [s]Deadly[/s] Lovely Maids[/h3][/center][/u]

As the seven maids found Captain Fanily, they lined up in a horizontal flank by order of seniority. The youngest and least experienced servants on the outer edges while the oldest and senior most maid stood in the center. Though they didn't realize that they basically blocked Captain Fanily and her guest's direct path, they all then in unison bowed their heads low to them. Practically at a 90 degree angle.

Speaking to the ground, the senior maid spoke up first.
[b]"Dearest Captain Fanily, we have recently all come to the conclusion that we may have caused you undue stress."[/b]
The following dialogue then alternated between each different maid.
[b]"For causing you such embarrassment, we have come before to you apologize profusely on behalf of the Delacroix name."[/b]
[b]"Please, accept our apology."[/b]
[b]"If there's anything we can do for you and the Iron Roses in the future, do not hesitate to ask."[/b]
[b]"Although ultimately we are charged with serving directly under Lady Marianne, as her superior officer our services will be extended to you also."[/b]
[b]"As such, by proxy, we serve the Iron Roses as a whole."[/b]
In unison, they pleaded.
[b]"Do forgive us for our trespasses!"[/b]
There, they stayed until Captain Fanily responded to them.
