<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9c/Lady_in_Red_image.jpg)<br/><strong>Name:</strong> Mistress Yamada Shiori<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Living Room--&gt;Sitting Room<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong> Yumi, mentions Kaede </div>Shiori nodded at Yumi's reply, understanding. She said, “It is never wrong to be honest, Yumi. If you have a strength, by all means, tell me. Every maid in my sevice, and my butler, too, all have their own unique strengths that lend themselves to my needs, and yours happens to be your vision and intellect.” The Mistress frowned and said, “But Fujioka-sen is already here; that means my mother will arrive in a day or two. This is already proving to be most complicated...”<br/><br/>Shiori paced nervously back and forth in the living room, her eyes dark with apprehension, her slim hands wringing one another with genuine fear. If she failed in this little rebellion against her mother, the consequences would be severe...not just for her, but maybe her maids as well. But she<em>needed</em>that ring, wanted it more than anything. She could not stand the thought of not taking it when she had the one rare chance to do so.<br/><br/>She turned and said to Yumi, “You will need to stay as far awawy from my mother's servant, Fujioka, as possible. She is...one of my mother's more worrisome close servants, and I have always suspected she might be a witch. If she thought you might steal from my mother, Fujioka might hex you, and I don't have any magical knowledge to help you. Go to your chambers to stay until you are told you may come out; I must see to getting Fujioka settled in. I do not want her to see you. If I do not go see my mother's servant after Kaede was kind enough to inform me of her arrival, I'll look like a wretched hostess. Kaede should be fixing a room or something for the woman.”<br/>She waved for Yumi to go, and she made her way to the sitting room to speak with Fujioka...<br/><br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatleft">(http://24.media.tumblr.com/3bc6906ae0536f2deb39212b0da7ae92/tumblr_mrr4igT31m1rdhnzso3_1280.jpg)<br/><strong>Name:</strong> Fujioka Sen <br/>and Mistress Shiori<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Sitting Room<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong> Daigo, Silvia. <br/> </div><br/>Fujioka frowned for just a moment; Daigo had been a member of the SDF? It seemed preposterous that Shiori had managed to hire such a man in such a menial position, but....it would not have been the first time tha Yamada money had turned heads. The family had roots in the beer industry, in local manufacturing in Sapporo, and they seemed to know everyone. Fujioka slowly nodded, accepting this as truth, and she said, “It must be dull for you to be stuck here after such an exciting career, Daigo.”<br/><br/>Shiori came in shortly after that, looking irritable. Fujioka immediately got up to embrace her in a warm hug; the Mistress' expresssion looked like she was glaring daggers at the refined woman. Shiori stiffened and waited to be let go, and Fujioka sat back down, saying, “How are you, my lovely?” Shiori answered curtly, “I am well, Sen. How fares my mother?”<br/><br/>Fujioka smiled, refined and elegant, and she said, “Very well, She intends to visit in a day or two. I am sent to make sure you have accommodations for her.” Fujioka raised an eyebrow at Shiori and flicked her eyes over to Daigo, as if asking a question. Shiori's cheeks reddened, and she said hotly, “There's nothing wrong with having attractive servants! And there's certainly nothing between me and my butler; I know that look and what you're implying!”<br/><br/>Fujioka grinned and said, “I was only going to ask because he<em>is</em>rather handsome, isn't he?” Shiori looked for Silvia and gravitated straight to her female maid, uncomfortable already with the situation.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Yukari, Joyce, Catherine</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hey Yukari....be careful!
