[quote=@ClickThis] The two remaining maids meanwhile brought ‘Asteria’ directly to Mirie in her study without her brother. Filing in behind their guest, they stood at the ready. The duchess was sitting at her desk, frowning for a moment when she noticed the white-haired girl was alone. Then she decided that it was probably for the better. The absence of panic in her household staff so far meant that whatever was going on with her brother was under control for the moment.

[b]“Viscountess Asteria, a pleasure to see you again. My maids’ welcoming party was not too jarring, I hope?”[/b][/quote]

‘Asteria’ spared her ‘brother’ a glance as he was escorted away, hoping that he wouldn’t get himself into too much trouble… Especially considering that she was the one who gave him the opening to get up to mischief in the first place. She smiled prettily at the maids as she was brought to Duchess Agustria’s study and gave a perfect curtsy to Mirie once she had entered the room. 

[color=82ca9d]“The pleasure is all mine, Duchess Agustria.”[/color] She straightened and stepped forward so she could meet the woman’s eyes, trying to discern if the raven had gotten to her ally in time or not. [color=82ca9d]“And not at all; your staff was very welcoming to my brother and me.”[/color] 

Out of sight of the maids, she smiled wryly. [color=82ca9d]“I hope our arrival was not a surprise for you, Your Grace. I did have a raven with a message sent ahead of time – did you receive it?”[/color] It was difficult to know if the staff was in league with Agustria or not and Nyx was not eager to give herself up until she was certain of her safety.
