"I'd bet that you won't find success in your life... then again, I always lose in bets. I hope to see you again, madame." Vhen smiled as he bowed lightly, tapping his cane on the ground. "I'll make sure to do so, madame." Vhen replied, expressing some confusion to this 'big man'. "They're nice people. Probably assassins, but they're nice." the lad nodded to himself as he turned to Lilith. "Everyone has a story to tell, Lilith. They've all written a book, a book of their lives. We shouldn't judge them until we've read it from page to page, don't you agree?" Vhen chuckled as he tapped his head. "Oh yeah, you didn't receive my meat bun, did you? Here, have another one. As I said, you can't protect me on an empty stomach." Vhen called out to Lilith, tossing another meat bun to her. It was a little cold, but it was better than nothing.
"I won't really force you to tell me anything about who you are-- since I don't really care too much about other people. However, I'd appreciate it, and I'd understand you better if you did. Makes sense right? A servant telling a master her secrets only when she's ready." Vhen leaned on his cane, twirling it in his hands afterwards.
"Now, come on, slowpoke!" Vhen cheerily said. "You've got a home to attend to-- since you'll be cleaning it. It's a bit dusty, and all though... I dunno. Mildew and molds... cobwebs... all those stuff. Meh." he shrugged his shoulders.
Vhen arrived at his mansion which just lay a few blocks from the trade market. "Welcome to Mansion DeCreoux. My house, my home... and, probably now, your home as well, Lilith." Vhen nodded to her as he signaled for her to follow him. Upon reaching the courtyard, Vhen hollered.
"Mom, Dad, I'm home! Interesting stuffs happened today! There was this---" Vhen fell silent all of a sudden. "Oh yeah, they're dead. I shouldn't keep forgetting that." the lad sighed. The courtyard itself showed signs of abandonment: the plants were nearly withering, the grass teeming with weeds, and the porch covered with a sheen of dust.
"Oh yeah, Lilith, there's your quarters over there." Vhen pointed to a decent sized hut which stood a few meters inside the gate. "It has three rooms. Your bedroom, the bathroom, and the living room which doubles as your dining room as well." the lad turned to her, setting his eyes on her face. "Cooking... ehmm... While I can cook, I'd appreciate it if you can cook for me. The kitchen is found inside the mansion, first floor, turn to your left. My bedroom is on the second floor, turn right. The small library second floor turn left, the terrace is also found there. The dining room, first floor turn to your right." Vhen mumbled on and on, not caring whether Lilith would be bored or not. "Oh... the keys. The red one is the main key to the mansion, the blue one is the key to your quarters, and the yellow one is the key to the gate. Don't lose these... and--" Vhen looked at her seriously. "--you still have the silver one, yes? Remember what I instructed... okay?" Vhen closed his eyes, as if contemplating something important. Vhen handed her the set of keys as he now turned to the mansion.
"What else...? Hmmm..." Vhen rubbed his temple as if he was remembering something. "Oh yeah..." the lad turned to Lilith as he nodded at her. "Welcome home, Lilith. This is where you belong, and where your new future begins."
Vhen chuckled lightly as his eyes looked up to the sky, the image of the demoness embedded on his mind. "For a demon to come here... Things will get complicated soon."
