On one foggy morning light was pouring through the tall windows of Alder Manor. As usual, Grayson, was up already and went around waking the other staff members up so they could prepare breakfast and such for the family.
Alexander, the son of the well known Alders, was still asleep, as was the way with children of his age.

@Overlord24

Sarah was standing guard outside the young master's room. Her main role was as a bodyguard and companion to Alexander, for there have been attempts to either kidnap or kill him, and his parents were scared for him. So when they had found thirteen year old Sarah, with combat suit and dog tags on, hair cut short, they had employed her. Alexander had shown he cared, and had gotten through to the girl, and so since that moment she had hardly left his side. She heard the early morning bustle and her normally emotionless eyes scanned the area, then she went back to the book she was reading and kept an ear on the room behind her, where Alexander slept. Not surprisingly, the book was about feeling emotion, which Sarah, even at eighteen years old, was still relearning.

@Nikki Moonlight
Grayson suddenly was standing a few feet away from Sarah. "Everything is in order Sarah?" He asked in his calm British accent. He was wearing his usual suit as he surveyed the corridor with his keen gray eyes.

@Overlord24

Sarah's black eyes shifted from her book, which was titled, 'The Human Heart and Soul: The Ultimate Guide to Human Emotions,' and she nodded stiffly, standing before the door protectively. "Yes..." she said, her usual emotionless but almost musical tone sounding. "The young master is fine, no disturbances." She had the ears of a bat, she had exceptionally amazing hearing, almost inhuman hearing.

@Nikki Moonlight
Grayson nodded. "Good. Wake him up in half an hour, breakfast is almost ready." He stated then walked off. As he did so, he checked up on the other staff members.

@Overlord24

Sarah nodded and stood there.

~Kalya~

Kayla woke up as Greyson was waking up all the servants and workers around the house. She smiled as she went to get dressed for the day. She knew that there was a lot to be done. The mansion itself was very massive and a lot of different rooms would need special attention too. She headed straight for the dinning room to clean the table and help set the table for the head family.

Raphael

Raphael shrugged slugishly as all the other workers were waking up for the day. He knew that he would have to get up and start working soon, but nothing needed his attention right then and there. He stayed in his bed pulling out the book from under his pillow. The title was in latin. He knew it was weird for a gardener to read such an advance language but this was casual reading to him. After reading two or three pages, he put his book back and headed towards the main doors to begin working on the front garden.

Esmeralda

Lady Esmeralda was still asleep in her chambers warmly wrapped up in the finest blankets. She could feel herself starting to wake up slowly but she tried to fight it off the best she could. She was way too comfortable to want to start the day. She wondered what her husband had planned for the day. She knows he is a very busy man, but it is still nice to spend time with him when he can spare it.

After waking up, Anastasia got dressed and walked down to the kitchens. Once she arrived, she poured some water into a kettle and placed it on the stove which she turned on. Quickly, she kneaded the dough for the croissants, shaped it into a croissant shaped form and placed them in the oven. When the kettle stopped boiling, Anastasia poured the water into some cups and made some white tea along with coffee for the family. She took out the croissants from the oven and put them on to various plates. Finishing off, she added some berries next to the croissants.

Grayson stood in front of the door to the Lord's and Lady's room. He knocked to awaken them as was one of his duties. "My lords, breakfast shall be ready in a few minutes." Without another word he went to check on the state of the breakfast.

Alexander woke up and stretched tiredly. Recently, he was able to wake up without prompt, due to the fact he had been suffering from nightmares as of late. He sat up in his and looked as the light filtered through the curtains over his windows. He knew Sarah would be in soon to wake him up.

@Overlord24
Anastasia cooked some eggs, bacon and fish which she later on, placed onto separate plates. She cut some bread and spread some butter on it. Anastasia then proceeded to take out a tray on which she put fresh ham and placed the breakfast along with the desert on an empty counter.

'Oh, good morning Grayson sir! I guess you came to check on the state of the breakfast. If that's the case, then I'm happy to inform you it is already complete' she said cheerfully.

@Animera
Grayson nodded to her. "Good. The family should awaken soon, and we would not want to make them wait for their breakfast. Luckily the Alders are a forgiving family. I have worked for other families that would kill servants should they make a mistake." On that cheerful note, he went to set the table.

Anastasia simply nodded. Taking out a cloth, she quickly cleaned the kitchen. She leaned against the wall as she took out a tiny book on medicine from the pocket in her apron and she began to read through the book.

@Overlord24

Right on cue, Sarah came in. She walked to Alexander's bed and blinked,seeing he was already awake. "Young Master, are you alright? Nightmares again?" Her voice wasn't full of emotions, per se, more quiet, which conveyed concern.

@Nikki Moonlight
Alexander nodded. "I'm fine Sarah." He lied. "Just a little restless. Once I have breakfast I should be fine." He got up and went to his wardrobe to grab some clothes. Unlike a lot of children of lords, he preferred to dress himself.

@Overlord24

Sarah narrowed her eyes a little. "You do realize I was trained to read body language, right? I know lying when I see it." But she pulled the screen open so he could get dressed in privacy. She began to read again. Alexander himself had suggested she read up on emotions, since he often told her she needed to feel more things.

@Nikki Moonlight
Alexander rolled his eyes a little at her. He got dressed silently and came back out. "We should head down to breakfast. Wouldn't want to keep Grayson waiting." He said with a small chuckle.

@Overlord24

Sarah's lips twitched in amusement. "Yeah, Grayson can get pretty....uh...colorful, when we're late." Her black eyes checked to make sure he was good and she escorted him down to breakfast.

@Nikki Moonlight@Animera
He smiled at her and walked with her to the dining hall. When they got there, they were greeted by Grayson who had just finished setting the table. "Glad you could join us." He said evenly but his eyes had a look of annoyance in them. "At least the young master's dressed. Come now, Anastasia finished breakfast and the Lord and Lady Alder should be down soon."

@Overlord24

Sarah looked at him as he smiled at her and she gave him a very rare smile. When they got downstairs Sarah rolled her eyes a little. "I woke him fifteen minutes earlier than you told me to." Despite her annoyance with him, Sarah was somewhat friendly with Grayson. They were acquainted, definitely. Friends? Not quite.

@Nikki Moonlight
"Yes, and thanks to your idle chitchat, you brought him here two minutes later than he was supposed to. What if the food had been brought out already? Would you really want the child of your employers to be eating cold food?" Grayson huffed. Despite how he mostly acted, he was a stickler for being on time and had a bit of OCD, but he was devoted to the Alder's no matter what. "Just get him sat for breakfast, it shall be out in a few moments."
