[center][sub]Interacting with:[@Obscene Symphony][/sub][/center]

Varis briefly checked the mailbox, pulling out the keys and envelopes, and unlocked the front door. He made a note to request a different landscape style. Not enough flowering plants in his opinion. He unlocked the door and stepped inside, immediately looking around. He slipped both keys into his breast pocket and continued inside. The sitting room passed inspection although he would have preferred Sinnenodel colors to the white and gold fabric draped over the side tables. Perhaps he could add a few accents, send them in from his own home. A quick glance in the study told him something needed to change. The current set up suggested equality and he didn’t want his new servant to misunderstand his position. Perhaps a smaller desk could be arraigned. Varis would look into tomorrow.

He quickly walked through the rest of the house, noting his bottles had been safely and properly stored, and came to check each of the rooms. The quality of everything was as expected of the Noilas and the noble families. Anything less would have been an insult. Varis noticed the administration already placed their belongings in one of the two rooms and he stepped into his curiously. He took particular notice of the tub, his eye brightening considerably. Bubble baths were one of the few things he allowed himself to indulge in that his Lady did not approve of. A waste of time according to her and he wholeheartedly agreed. It didn't particularly stop him however. He swept through the rest of his room quickly, making another mental note to order sheets in Sinnenodel colors and perhaps a different material. 

Varis walked into Aaron’s room next, looking around at the mirror copy of his room and his eyes darkened slightly. Again, it presented the issue of equality. Varis stood in the middle, tapping his fingers on his arm as he thought. Again, sheets would need replacing and perhaps a Sinnenodel family crest hanging on the wall where the boy could see it. Just as reminder whose he was now. The sword, while tempting to strip him of it, would be used against the boy later. [i][color=f7976a]’I do need to find something for him to wear that declares his new allegiance however.’[/color][/i] Varis mused. A matter for later. For now he would set a few things in motion, including how to keep Aaron firmly beneath his boot.

“Once you have finished organizing your room, I will be in the study. I expect all of your possessions away neatly but do not keep me waiting.”[/color] Varis placed the envelope containing Aaron’s class schedule on the boy’s vanity and left to pen a few letters sealing each one and stamping the Sinnenodel crest in the back.

[hider=Letter to the Grounds Keeper]
To Whom it May Concern,

It is with a hesitant hand that I make this request. It would seem my paired mage struggles with the separation privacy affords and has begged I request his doors, bedroom, bathroom, and closet, removed. Although I do not see this as the best course of action, I believe that perhaps slowly acclimating him to the concept may change his mind later on and so I request that they are put into storage until he grows comfortable enough to have them again. I will endeavor to do so in a timely manner and have hopes to recall them in two months time.

Sincerely,
Count Varis Sinnenodel

[hider=Letter to the Nobles]
To my esteemed contemporaries,

It is with great pleasure that I learned that a member of each house will be attending this year. Since we are all of noble blood, it is only customary for us to follow proper etiquette and meet at least once to make introductions. As such, I humbly invite you to my lodging tomorrow morning at 5:00 am to formally meet and begin strengthening the relationship between us as students.

Sincerely,
Count Varis Sinnenodel
