Patrolling the manor impatiently, Kagan ducked his head into rooms as he passed them. Master Tannow would be arriving soon, and if anything was out of order, the whole house would suffer for it. He passed the cleaning staff, checked in with other guards, and found himself in the kitchens.<br/><br/>What had happened!? The rest of the meal was clearly prepared, both the dining room meal for Master Tannow and the servants' dinner were set up to go - but that elf girl was standing beside what looked like the exploded remains of dessert. "What the hell happened!?" The orc's initial outcry was angry, but he immediately dropped to his knees and started trying to wipe the stuff off of the floor.<br/><br/>"Tannow's due any minute, you work on a new dessert while I get this clean!"<br/><br/>* * *<br/><br/>At the edge of the manor, Lukin Tannow alighted from his horse and began to walk towards the front doors. The king had wasted his whole day with partying and games. If Tannow was ever in charge, the kingdom would run a lot less frivolously.
