The sound of a soft humming pervaded the room as a small girl exited the bathroom, her small body wrapped carefully in a large towel around her.

She was accompanied by a maid who was helping to make sure the girl had everything she needed.

Singing a sweet little song as she exited, her voice melodious and pleasant. It was a calming sound and a welcome addition to the otherwise mostly quiet atmosphere.

"Miss Laura, have you seen big brother? It's been a while"

The little girl spoke while having the maid  helping her getting into a dress.

"Pardon me Lady Ria, Zane left for a mission this morning"

"Aw...he promised me to join my tea party..."

Laura the maid was currently working on the young girl's hair, carefully combing it out of its wet and messy state.

She was extra careful not to touch the girl's bunny ears, knowing that they were sensitive and not wanting to hurt the young lady.

Ria continues to hum sweetly as the long pale blond haired woman gently placed a pink bunny clip on the girl's bangs, styling it.

"Don't worry Lady Ria, I'm sure he'll fulfill his promise if he got the chance."

"You think so?"

"Of course"

Ria, the demi human child, couldn't help but feel delight, a toothy grin spreading across her face as she giggled with Laura about a certain man that she had grown fond of.

It was a sweet, innocent moment filled with innocence and joy. It was endearing to watch the two of them interact in this way, with Ria's childlike innocence meeting Laura's motherly instincts.

As the night descended, a battered young lad holds the door open as he bowed to the middle aged man in a fine tux and a cane stepping into the estate.

As the door shut, silence filled in the man's home as his servants bowed at his safe arrival. He nods at them and walked through the hallway and into the study, where he took off his coat and hung it on the rack.

He then walked to the bar, poured himself an old fashion and took a sip, savoring the bittersweet flavor as he watched his right hand man who stood Infront of his desk with his usual stoic expression despite reeking of someone else's blood.

"You know Zane, it's really rare to find a good kid like you. I'm so lucky"

A snicker left the old man's lips as he swirls the liquor in his glass, grinning at the serious and quiet latter.

"You may leave now...oh and one more thing!"

Zane perked up at his statement, halting his bow and straightening his body back, waiting for what his superior had to say.

The tension in the moment was palpable,
curious and eager to hear what might be said. The older man took a sip of his drink.
