Aboard the Clemantis
[hr]

Lucrecia scowled a bit, she strongly felt that Viatrix should've saw to the child first. Then again, Lyssa was the daughter of the woman who signed her pay checks. She continued to listen as she explained that she was indeed originally from Cogsfell, and what events transpired prior to meeting her and Polina. [color=9e0039]"Your parents can rest peacefully now that you're safe with us, Amor."[/color] She said. Before she could continued, the aforementioned daughter came bursting out of the back room.

[color=9e0039][i]Merda. That's the second one to refer to me by that silly name...[/i][/color] She silently groaned.

[color=9e0039]"I am joyed to see you in good health and high spirits, Madonna."[/color] She said, slightly chuckling as the doctor lightly conked her on the head. [color=9e0039]"It is nothing serious, thankfully. Just a few scrapes to the back; I'm more concerned for Akantha here.:[/color] She looked at the rescued girl, gently rubbing her shoulder.

Promptly following Viatrix into the backroom with Akantha in tow, the two were fully healed by her magics. After they were cleared, Lucrecia took Akantha with her to the mess hall. No doubt the others were finished cooking by now, and she was sure that the little one was famished. Lyssa also made her way there, chowing on unfinished pastries and being yelled at by Leoniya. [color=9e0039]"I wonder if the boss used to be like that in her youth?"[/color]

[hr]

It was morning and a few days had passed since the operation at Cogsfell. Lucrecia did her part to ensure that Akantha was acclimated to her new life at the Maison, provided she wasn't pulled away to assist with other duties as per her station. A small part of her that perhaps it was best she not wear her heart in her sleeve and not fall slave to her maternal instincts. This was job after all, and business always came first. 

She noticed Leoniya and Myrilla barking orders at another squad of maids, thankful that it wasn't her for a change. Lucrecia did her part to ensure that everything was in order for Lady Fiore upon her return. She looked to where Rosanna was talking with someone; as another magically inclined coworker Lucrecia was naturally curious about her. But, something Rosanna said that she managed to catch made her eyes widen.

[color=9e0039][i]A [b]demon[/b] was joining the Maison as a fellow worker?![/i][/color] She exclaimed to herself.
