[color=C6DEFF][center][h1]Lila Moriarty[/h1][/center][/color] [hr] [sup][@Rai] [@13org][/sup] [hr] The knock on the door told Lila that it was time. Shortly after asking if she was ready, not even waiting for an answer, the servant opened the door. His voice was elegant and smooth, but it was incredibly... monotone. Almost as if he was being careful to not show much emotion. His manners were impeccable, even the way he walked was elegant. He was obviously used in walking around nobles. “Ms. Moriarty. This way please. That is if you are ready.” He said, extending his hand towards her. “I will guide you to the gathering.” he continued, patiently waiting for her. Lila gently took his hands without saying a word. She still had many questions about her next mission, but she wouldn't question Mirror's orders, instead simply letting the servant lead her, without knowing what to expect. She had never been in a place like that... She was obviously amongst nobles, and not warriors... She wondered how Virias would react to all that. “Do not worry about your friend dear. He has an important role only Mirror knows. And he will have a fun in my room of madness.” the servant said, almost like if he was reading her mind. How did he do that? He always seemed to know what and when to say... It was really impressive. Lila had said to Virias to obey Mirror, so she wasn't that preoccupied with him. Mirror surely would take care of him... At least that what was she believed in. The part about the 'room of madness' scared her a little, but she trusted Mirror enough to believe he would take care of Virias. Upon arriving at their destination, Lila got even more confused than she already was. If she was feeling out of place before, on the room with the fancy bed and bath, now that feeling was much, much worse. She was amongst noblemen and noblewomen, as it was evident by the way they talked. Lila didn't know what to do or say. She had never been amongst noble Nayu or even Nobles before. And she certainly wasn't used in being in a place where blood was consumed so... openly... It was almost intoxicating for Lila. The smell of blood filled the room, she could almost taste it on her tongue. “My who does your attire? You're just like a doll. Oh dear if only you had your sight to see how beautiful you are.” a royal said, right after she entered. Another person might even be offended by that commentary, but she was a Nayu, so being blind was... normal for her. She always was blind. Lila herself didn't knew if that commentary was a good one, praising her dress, or if the royal was trying to provoke her by saying that she was blind. She didn't know very well how to act around nobles. She wasn't as elegant as the servant, neither she knew what and when to say things in such a perfect and impeccable manner as him, so after one of them asked her name, she was caught by surprise. But again, the servant shown to have a perfect understanding and knowledge on how to read and react to all social situations, presenting her to the royals as a member of the Moriarty family. “The Moriarty family? My word such a rich heritage.” one of them said, immediately after that Lila could hear their chatter, talking about the Moriarty family. Unlike other previous comments, that one had definitely caught Lila's interest, making her listen carefully to them. She didn't know anything about her family or her past. She was simply raised as a weapon, no one never said that she had a... 'rich heritage', as one of the royals said... She knew she was there on a mission, but other opportunities like that one, to learn about her past and her family couldn't come that easily... “It's a shame that they were nearly wiped out. No doubt this young one here is a cousin of the main branch.” an elderly Nayu royal said, amongst the chatter. What did he mean by that? Wiped out? By who? And why? Was Lila only a cousin of the main branch? A thousand of questions flooded her mind at once. It was already hard to concentrate with the smell of blood, after she hear those words, it became even harder, making her completely distracted, lost in her own thoughts... “I will keep an eye on you. Go. Await your call and try to enjoy being a Nayu for once.” the servant said, with an unusually positive tone on his voice, making her come back to the current situation. "I don't know how to..." Lila started to say, interrupting herself, silently nodding in acquiescence. She would try her hardest to not do anything that could offend the nobles or anything. She wasn't really educated to be a 'lady'... Probably the best place for her to be was to just quietly sit on a table and wait for further orders. Normally, Lila would sit on an empty table on the corner of the room, as far as possible from the Royals, but her curiosity about her family was too much, so instead, she simply sat down on an empty chair, nearby the other royals, trying her best to hear any other information about the Moriarty. Right in front of her seat, on the table, there were several glasses of blood, that the royals simply took and drank without any ceremony. The smell was tempting, and even before she realized, she had already taken one on her hands, the cold glass gently touching her lips, the red, crimson blood almost touching them. She could feel its intoxicatingly sweet and alluring smell, calling for her. With an incredible effort, she put down the glass. She wasn't used in drinking blood nearby so many people, she was raised being told that drinking blood was a taboo, that wasn't acceptable, so she tried her hardest to control her urges. [color=C6DEFF][I]"Concentrate..."[/I][/color] she thought, forcing herself to put down the glass of blood and pay attention to the Royals, what they were saying and trying to listen anything about the Moriarty. All the royals were incredibly lively, chatting, drinking blood and talking about a multitude of things. Lila herself couldn't feel more out of place. She didn't knew anything about Nayu manners, or customs, so she refrained herself of even talking to anyone, not knowing what was appropriate and what wasn't... Thinking a bit more... Should her have sat down there? Was it ok for her to sit nearby the nobility, to share a table with them? She simply sat down, not asking anyone if she could... [color=C6DEFF]"I-I'm... sorry..."[/color] She said, in a low tone, getting up. [color=C6DEFF]"I didn't ask if I could... sit down."[/color] She said, in the same low tone. Sharing a table with nobles and royals... What was she thinking when she simply sat down like that?! Did the mere mention of her family impact her enough to make her forget about everything else?
