Hagetaka's proposition dropped her boss' face into his palm, the exasperation shifting most of his weight to that one elbow on the desk. "Pay you?" It came out as a throaty grumble, the tone suddenly broken as he looks up at her, then to the other two. Something about the sight of them brings a smile to his face. "Oh, that reminds me. Even though Taka has been here longer, you shouldn't think of her as your better. Where you both are my trusted and compensated maids..." His eyes dart to the side, locking directly onto those of the mouthy reaper. "She's simply a captured slave."<br/>Something about this belittlement puts a spring in the eccentric master's step, causing him to rise from his seat with hope and vigor. "I'd have her show you both through the rounds, but there's really nothing that needs taking care of right now. You're free to socialize, explore the place, or find something fun to do because my accounting's done and I am getting<em>bored.</em>" Something about the look he cast around the room after his little display almost seems expecting, as though he's appraising their reaction very carefully.
