There was something strange about waking up in this estate. There was something strange about the smell of the new furniture, and the fact that this estate had many decorations and artistic platforms. The walls were deep reds, caramel brown, whites, blues, and all sorts of colors in each room--unlike the Kanashimi estate. The counters had marble, and the tables were spit-shined and stained deep brown pine wood. They had a television and a radio, and it was almost like taking advantage of being able to see. The music room was stocked, just like the fridge, and the servants were not blind either. It was a new life, and new start, and a different setting.
Itami received late word of the arrival of Iori, and had found herself up earlier than she would please to be. Helplessly retreating to the servants' hall to beg of one of the girls to help her look somewhat decent. They were lovely ladies--and the men were not bad either-- handpicked for generosity, loyalty, and kindness. The girls sneaked into the master bedroom, tiptoeing into Itami's wardrobe to giggle and grab various things as the others brushed and braided her hair back, and prepped her for what they assumed was a guest. In reality, Itami couldn't bear the idea of Kasa waking up to a sight like her everyday.
The smell of a feast for breakfast filled the house as they would be expecting a guest anytime soon to join them. Itami, dressed in similar attire as their first meeting (a dress over bandages covering everything from her chin down, and the artistic iron mask) sat herself down in the breakfast room. it was a massive room made entirely of glass that showed the artificial world outside that was as beautiful as they could possibly make the unground world. A cup of tea in hand as two other cups sitting around the table with the china plates, waiting to be joined.
A rag was clutched in Itami's left hand, trying to hide blood spots from the amount of coughing and spitting up blood the poor girl had been suffering through. She had ruptured the wound by yelling to the runt of the Yamazaki, and it was costing her quite a bit in the long run. But it was worth it, was it not?
