 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith nodded a 'thank you' to the maid and opened the door, the smell of food hit him instantly. Xenarith blinked. "Oh wow, I believe I have just entered heaven." He said quietly as the various scents entered his nose. Of all the things he didn't like from his preveious masters, their taste in foods was definitely the worst. Slowly, he made his way to the table, picking a chair near the end and sat down. ...You just have to look past the cold.

Yumiko , after passing the kitchen , soon reached the dining room door.She opened the door,seeing her new slave and her father sitting on the able.She walked in,closing the door behind her.She had taken a seat at her normal seat,at the tip of the long table.The long table was covered in white tunic drapes with several of silver plates covered in warm food.Looking around,Yumiko noticed Shadesu was not present.She had been side-tracked by the smell of the delicious smell.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith had not said anything for the moment. When her father first entered the room he felt a little uncertain about him, he didn't seem like he would hold the same personality as Yumiko would. Although the smell of the food was tempting, he refrained from eating anything until Yumiko and her dad start. ...You just have to look past the cold.

Akento glared at Yumiko then at Xenarith.He seemed that he wanted to eat immediately. "Slave,You may eat if you wish" he spoke elegantly.Picking up the knife and fork,he began slicing the meat neatly.Yumiko,relieved that her stomach would soon be filled,picked up the fork and poke the vegetables around her miso soup with potato dumplings.Tho Yumiko did not like most vegetables,she quietly ate it as the appalling taste lingered in her mouth.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith bowed his head momentarily when the man spoke. "Yes sir, thank you." He said, carefully examining the food that lay immediately before him. Unsure about what to have, he decided to take small portions of everything, making sure he had enough to keep full for a while, but not too much that might have made him appear greedy or something. Taking a bite out of one of the dumplings and nodded in approval. "This is good, do they always eat things like this?" He thought, taking another bite. ...You just have to look past the cold.

Yumiko payed no to attention to Akento nor Xenarith.She continued to eat the dreadful food that laid in front of her.She took a bite of the dumping and slowly chewed it.She was about to take another bite until she was disturbed by her father. "Yumiko.How's your day?" Akento asked attempting to start a conversation but soon failed. Yumiko ignored him as Akento kept waiting for a response.If Akento were not a patient man,he would surely be angry right now.The room was filled with awkward silence.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith felt out of place here, like he didn't belong. Part of him figured that that's normal since he's been there barely an hour and knew close to nothing about them. Wanting to break the silence, even if for just a little while, Xenarith looked up at Akento and spoke calmly, setting down his cutlery as he did. "Forgive me for interrupting sir...but what duties will I be performing here during my stay? Was I purchased for a specific purpose?" He asked, hoping the answer was no. He preferred to be kept just as a generic slave because whenever his masters couldn't think of a job for him, he used that time to just relax, meditate, ice sculpt...really anything that distracted him from the reality that he was someone's servant. ...You just have to look past the cold.

Akento was just about done just before Xenarith had spoken to him.Even Akento knew this house was lifeless and had taken him a while to have thought of a job for him. "You may do as you wish." she replied "But,I do have a small favor to ask.If you don't mind,would you clean out the art room?" he had asked. "it's been filthy for quite some time now.Paint and hardened clay covered most of the floors." he had added.The art room was barely used but it still remained the same.Whenever Yumiko would use the art room,she never seemed to clean up after herself and gradually,paint covered most of the floors.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith nodded, he would've smiled as well if he hadn't thought it'd look a little odd for what he had just been told. "Of course sir. It shouldn't be too big of a problem to get the clay out, but depending on how old the paint is it may take a day or so." He said, figuring that as long as his ice magic was able to speed up the cleaning process they would be fine with him using it. Xenarith was also a little curious, wondering if the art room could have a suitable place to put his sculptures, knowing he couldn't keep all of the ones he had in mind in his room. ...You just have to look past the cold.

"Splendid" Akento said as the maids began to pile the plates up. "There is no rush,she please take your time" he had added,standing up. "Now,if you;ll excuse me" he said,dusting his black coat and walking out.The maids had already cleaned up half of the table as Yumiko stood up.She walked behind her chair and pushed he chair in steadily.She walked at the corner of the table and started to do what the maids had done.One by one,Yumiko piled the plates and cups.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith nodded and carefully watched Yumiko as she started taking the plates. It seemed a little odd to him, a mistress doing maid's work, but he decided not to question it. Standing up and pushing his seat in, he gave a small smile. "Want some help?" He asked as he began taking the plates nearby. ...You just have to look past the cold.

Before Yumiko could say 'no need' to his offer,he had already started helping. "Uhm..You did not have to" she said,looking at him.She had taken the plates from the table and started to hold it.Tho,she had not much strength in her arms,she was able to carry the plates.She let the end of the plates to lean up against her stomach as she got ready to take it to the kitchen.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith smiled at Yumiko before shaking his head slightly. "It's part of what I do. Willingly or unwillingly, it's almost a habit now to help with cleaning and such without too much of a thought nowadays." He said, picking up a few more until he had reached his limit. He thought about how much truth there was to his statement. It was true that it's become a habit, but he generally stopped to think about whether or not he would help or not, this was no exception. Carefully turning around so he could face Yumiko, he smiled once more. "Since you know this house much better than I do, please, lead the way."...You just have to look past the cold.

Yumiko nodded towards a white door. "The kitchen is through that door." she said,leading the way.The door was not as fancy as most doors in the house.It does not have any handle and it can be easily opened.It was near the corner of the dinning room where the maids entered and exited.She halted in the front of the door and turned around.Tho,she had no hands to push the door open,she used her back to open it.Once she had it opened,she held it with her foot for Xenarith.

 Xenarith § Sakai Even in the frigid wastelands, the scenery can be beautiful to gaze upon... Xenarith followed through the door, doing a similar motion as she did to open it although using his shoulder. "Thank you." He said as he walked into the kitchen. It wasn't as big as Xenarith had first thought in comparison to the rest of the house, but it was still reasonably large. Seeing a few more maids every now and then, he turned to Yumiko. "Out of curiosity, how many maids work here?" He asked. ...You just have to look past the cold.
