( Takes place in the Stark Household )

"Why do you talk so funny?" Farin Stark trailed after Cei, her mousy brown hair, pulled back in a braid, bouncing behind her. The young Stark princess had taken to badgering the newest young servant, firing question after question at him.

The thirteen year old was a bit overwhelmed by how fast she spoke and how she rarely gave him time to answer. Cei ducked his head and tried walking faster, "I-I don't know what you mean. Y-Your language is difficult to grasp.."

Farin pursed her lips unhappily and tilted her head, "No it isn't! You just aren't trying hard enough."

"Please, Miss," he said politely, taking a deep breath, "I need to get back to work.."

[Етеяиiту]

One of the more experienced servants a male with long brown hair which was always pulled back in a pony tail walked up. "Princess if i may i need his help with cleaning" he said, noticing the other servants distress. The tall male was thin but muscular and awfully attractive with his icy blue eyes and perfectly straight soft hair dont even get going on that devilish half smile he always had.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Farin narrowed her green eyes and stepped back, "Oh, fine. Daddy will be mad if the cleaning doesn't get done."

Cei breathed a sigh of relief and looked up quickly. He couldn't just tell the princess to go away, even though he wanted to.

[Етеяиiту]

He gestured for Cei to follow him and then walked to a small room "here, the kings bathroom is first" he said tossing him a mop.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He caught the mop and looked down at it in his hands, "T-Thank you," Cei squeaked, following what the older male told him, "I didn't know how to tell her to leave me a-alone in a nice w-way.."

[Етеяиiту]

"You cant, thats the thing," he said grabbing some more supplies for the bathroom then showing him the way "you cant, they tell you to get on your knees you do it, no ands ifs or buts. You do what they tell you" he abruptly turned to face him "got it?" He asked rather roughly. Despite his looks, Carter was a stickler for those kinds of things, probably because hes been a slave since birth.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Cei flinched back and nodded quickly, "I k-know. I always have, I've had no choice."

[Етеяиiту]

He nodded "and listen to the other see ants, but not the teenagers, they like jokes." He said starting to walk again.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"W-Wait!" Cei called after him, "What's your name? I-I've never seen you around before."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Is this an open thread?)

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

(Yes, I just created it for anyone to answer xD)

[Етеяиiту]

"Carter" he said "now keep up, there is a lot to clean"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

The boy nodded and hurried to clean the Master's bathroom as Carter told him. He was glad that the other servants were around to help him out.

[Етеяиiту]

He began cleaning the tub, his long hair draping over his shoulder.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Kelsier poked his head into his father's chambers. "Is Lord Stark around?" he asked Carter.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Cei dipped his mop in the bucket and started on the floor. He glanced up when Kelsier came in, but looked away swiftly.

[Етеяиiту]

"Not that i know of sir" he said looking over to the prince.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He listened to them curiously, noting the way Carter spoke to him. He wanted to be sure that he acted that way as well.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Hmm..." Kell said quietly. He eyed Cei, frowning. "What's your name, boy?" he asked. He didn't recognize the young servant.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He looked up with wide, brown eyes, "My name is C-Cei," he answered, "sir."
