When one first comes to Ilazar mansion they would only make it to a large rod iron fence. The house would not be in veiw except for the weather vein on the highest tower. After getting through the gates you'd go up a winding paved driveway.
The house itself is old but elegant being built during the 1800s. Overall the house was grey with a small amount of a faded red here and there. There are four stories to the mansion.
First story includes Kitchen, Dining room, ballroom, and living room. In the middle is a giant stair case with a long weaving handrail. The floor is made of a white marble and most every room is decorated with a magnificent chandelier.
Second story includes a library, billiard room, and several guest bedrooms with living quarters.
Third floor is where Chase's room is along with his living quarters along with many guest rooms with living quarters.
Top floor is only one room. The attic. Lots of dust and boxes of old memories.

Chase had been very quiet during the boat ride. He was a naturally quiet person a lot of the times. A limo had been there to meet them with a man in a fancy looking suit and greying hair. He stood like there was a stick glued to his back. The man's name was James. He was Chase's butler.
James opened the door for Chase which Chase entered in. The butler closed it before Kaoru could get in.
"Get in on the other side." he said looking at Kaoru with disgust.

"Just because you get paid doesn't mean you're any better than a slave." Kaoru growled, nonetheless decided to turn and head for the other entryway. He had no idea where it was, but he didn't want to ask this pompous butler the way. Even though he was doomed to slavery for the rest of his life, he still had some pride. And if he couldn't find the entry, he'd just climb over the gate. It wouldn't be difficult; he was good at climbing things.

The butler looked at him irritated as he watched the slave head in the right direction. There was a servant's entrance on the side, a gaurd stood there and looked at him curiously.
"Umm, do you have business here, sir?" the gaurd asked not snobbishly but politely.
"Yes. He's my slave." Chase said from inside the gate. The gaurd looked at Chase in surprise, standing at attention and unlocking the gate nervously.
"Forgive me, Master Chase! I wasn't aware that you were waiting there!" the gaurd spoke shakily as he opened the servant's entrance gate for Kaoru to enter. Chase looked at the gaurd with an emotionless face.
"At ease." he said and turned to start walking towards the house. The gaurd relaxed once Chase was further away.

((This'll be my first post for acouple of hours; I'm getting a haircut. ^__^))
"Thanks, Chase." Kaoru said, not sure whether calling his master by his first name was acceptable to the workers. They would probably be flabbergasted, judging by the butler's reaction. He probably shouldn't have made the rude comment to the butler, but the way he saw it, that man started it.
"So... where to?" Kaoru asked, eyes probing the areas of the home he could see. It was magnificent, and alot of other things he couldn't quite describe without filing through his brain for the right words.

"Inside to show you your living qaurters, and after that the maids will probably grab you and make you take a bath." Chase said walking up the stairs to the large front doors. Two servants opened the doors for Chase and Kaoru. The door opened to the ballroom which was huge with a glorious chandelier in the middle of the tall ceiling. Chase walked straight towards the huge stair case and headed up. The only servants that were visible were the ones that opened the door for them.

Kaoru stifled his cry of surprise, his hands leaping up to cover his mouth. This mansion was much more beautiful than any he'd lived in yet. Of course, he'd often been kept in the basement, so that might influence his judgment. After admiring the ballroom for a few minutes longer (it reminded him of a scene from one of his books), he scampered up the stairs after Chase. Well, he stopped to admire the beautiful railings and steps, walking up them like an excited puppy. When he reached the top stair, he waved at his fellow slaves; they looked nice.

Chase watched Kaoru with an eyebrow raised. He had grown up in this house so he really couldn't recognize what great beauty it had. It was a normal house to him. The servants stood with no reactions to Kaoru but in their minds they enjoyed his excited nature, much different from the stiffs they constantly had to deal with.
Chase continued up the stairs when he was sure that Kaoru was following him. He still walked with his cane, it was like an appendage of him. If he wasn't holding it it was somewhere close by him. Making it to the third floor he walked down the hall a bit and stood waiting for Kaoru.
"Go ahead inside. It's where you'll be staying." he said standing next to a door.
The room he would enter inside was intricate in design and looked like it was round shaped with few real corners. The carpet was a deep red with gold designs weaved into leaves and rose patterns. A burgundy high back chair was in the middle of the room, sat next to it was a small round table with a lamp. There were two windows on both sides of the bed, which had a canopy over it which could be pulled closed. A wardrobe sat against a wall as well. It had not been filled yet with clothes. To top it all off there was a door that opened up to a bathroom with a sink, toilet, and large bathtub. At first glance no one would expect that the room would belong to a slave.
((I wonder if I could draw the floor plans to this place... xd ))

((It'd certainly be interesting! And if I had a scanner, I could draw some pictures of the characters. ^__^))
Kaoru took his time following his new master, constantly stopping to admire things and scamper to catch up. Everything just looked so... lavish. It was the ultimate life of luxury. Even the fanciest houses he'd stayed in weren't as nice as this one. When he saw his room, he almost fainted in surprise. A pleasant surprise, but surprise nonetheless. He took a couple steps back and divebombed onto his new bed, giggling gleefully as he bounced up from the impact.
"I don't know what to say! This is just so... amazing!" Kaoru grinned, eyes scanning around the room. Then, without really thinking, he leapt off the bed and ran up to Chase, hugging him tightly; much tighter than one would've expected the frail boy to.
"Thank you." Kaoru muttered into Chase's chest.

Chase stood there with wide eyes when Kaoru suddenly lept and hugged him. He didn't hug him back or make any movements, his cheeks turning a little pink as a surge of warmth went through him. The only time that he really received any hugs was from his younger sister before she died. That was five years ago. Jerking out of his surprise he grabbed Kaoru's shoulders and pushed him away.
"Molly should be up soon to remove your collars and assist you with taking a bath. You can borrow some of my clothes until some new ones are tailored for you. My room is just down the hallway. The silver door. Report to me when you're clean." he said not looking at the slave at all. He turned and walked down the hall his shoulders tense from the moment.

"Um... okay." Kaoru called after his master, feeling as if he'd done something wrong. Sighing, he closed the door gingerly, still jumped when it closed with a bang. He explored his room, playing with anything he was confident he wouldn't break. Although he was often used to clean houses, he was incredibly clumsy. He didn't want to destroy anything that might be of value.
"I wonder what's wrong?" Kaoru mused to himself, flopping onto his bed.

((A time jump wouldn't be so bad, although you'll have to miss Kaoru fighting with the maid when she tries to bathe him, lol.))

There was a knock on Kaoru's door and the door opened.
"Hello?" asked a female voice. A woman poked her head through. She had long blonde hair pulled into two braids. Her attire was that of a maids outfit with a long skirt and apron. Her eyes were big and blue and happy looking.
"Am I permissioned to enter in room?" she asked. Her accent was swedish sounding and her english obviously wasn't perfected yet.
