"Fine, fine, I know," Elizstrazia replied, waving one small hand to and fro, "Our contract and all. I'm not going to go on a bloody rampage, if that's what you're worried about."

At least, not until combat began.

Still, it was annoying to have to listen to someone's orders, even if she'd entered Livia's employment knowing that would be the case. Knowing and agreeing to do it didn't make it any less bothersome.

However, the petite draconic girl had little to complain about when she was described as charming, regardless of the context, nor did she hesitate to take Livia's hand once again.

It was warm.

Her bare, scaled feet touched the ground only a brief moment later.

At least if she was going to be working somewhere, it was somewhere that befit her own beauty. The well-kept grass, the fine architecture, it was perhaps the minimum she could expect for someone like herself but at least it wasn't below that.

The scale demon followed Livia to the mansion, immediately taking stock of the other maids when they entered.

She was supposed to respect them, wasn't she?

Being truthful was the best way to be respectful, wasn't it?

It only made sense.

Elizstrazia stepped forward, smirking, with a hand placed to her chest.

"That's right, if you couldn't tell by my beautiful looks, I'm a scale demon," she began, her tail swishing from side to side, "I'd hope you didn't need me to tell you, given what that would say about your intelligence."

One of her razor teeth, a fang, showed as she cocked her head to the side.

"I won't mind if you admire me, but don't get in my way in battle. I don't want to have to work around you just to spill their guts all over," she continued. Naturally, she was obviously being perfectly respectful. Saying anything less then her true feelings would be to lie, and you didn't lie to someone you respected.

"Ah, and just because I can create barriers doesn't mean you can expect me to defend you," she added, crimson eyes glittering as if to emphasize her smug demeanor, "If you want cover, you'll just have to get behind me."
