[color=fff79a]"Wonderful."[/color] Marise replied with a smile. [color=fff79a]"It's been awhile since we've had guests."[/color] She began walking at a brisk pace towards their estate, Charlotte, for the most part remained neutral. This could be a good opportunity but she wouldn't get her hopes up for now. She'd reserve judgement for now, and wait to see if they could actually help or not.

The trip to their estate was a thankfully short one. Once they had gotten out of the main city and headed to the more well off parts of the city, it was clear that the Fiore's at least, had quite a bit of wealth compared to most people. First they'd see a large, extremely well taken care of yard in front of the estate, walled off with a large iron gate and complete with a stone road for carriages or other such modes of transportation. The building itself was three stories tall at its tallest, with several chimneys extending from the roof, though only a few seemed to be in use.

[color=fff79a]"Here we are,"[/color] Marise led them to the front door, opening it and motioning for Himeko and Charlotte inside. [color=fff79a]"Katherine, be a dear and show them to my room would you? Livia ahem, probably wouldn't like them intruding on her privacy."[/color] She gave a mildly nervous seeming chuckle but otherwise walked in behind them.

[b]"Ah...Marise, we have guests? Young Miss said we might have company, so she had me prepare some tea. I've already put it on, and it should be done momentarily."[/b]

[color=fff79a]"Oh, thank you Nynette. I must speak with mother about something, so Katherine and you are in charge of the guests."[/color] She teased.
