At the current moment Syrah was arguing with her mother, Sadie. About what this time? It doesn't really matter. But if you really want to know, they where fighting about about silverware. Yes, silverware. Tonight the family, er Dean, her father, is having a large party at the house. Sadie and Syrah are setting the table with white linen, crystal glasses and dishes and silver utensils. Anyone who came would recognize their wealth, and thats exactly what Dean wanted. He was big on showing off, telling everyone just exactly how much richer he was than them. You would never see Dean with a man richer than himself. Once he found said man he would work until he has more money. Tonight he was inviting over twenty or so men and their wives for a feast celebrating the past years harvest. All these men where his partners or such in his business. Dean even went so far as to buy a small idol of Bala that is going to be used as a center piece.
Not only was the dinning room stunning, but the whole house as well. Servants had been working away at the mansion the entire day and now it was well into the early evening, the guests would be here in about a bell or so. But when they heard a sharp knock on the giant double doors leading into the house both women froze. They were not yet done fighting about where silverware is supposed to be placed and the table certainty wasn't finished setting up. The females speechlessness only lasted a second before they started fighting again about what time they were supposed to be there. Her father instructed that Syrah was to open the door and greet the guests because she was his protege.
Quickly enough they both decided that Syrah should probably open the door and invite the first guest in. Even if he/she was a hour early. So, while straightening her back, leveling her walk and shooing away the last of the working servants or slaves she gracefully strode to the doors. She put her hands on the golden doorknobs and sighed, taking in and letting out one big breath before she put a pleasant smile on her face and opened both oak doors wide to welcome her fathers first guest.
