Aiko had worked in silence, working on what the mistress requested, until he noticed Emily coming over towards him.Just what he needed...He looked away, looking down at what he was cooking.He looked at her, when she touched them.Indeed they were real, they were not fake."Please stop" he requested..it felt weird having somebody, besides himself touching his ears.It tickled alittle.
"Wow. They are real. That's so cool! I'm Emily by the way. You?" She spoke pretty fast, even for a youth.
He smiled a tad.Maybe the mistress was right.Maybe they wouldn't care."Aiko" he said.
"Nice to meet you aiko. So the mistress hired you recently?" She asked him, now insanely curious about this young man.
"Earlier today" he said.It seemed everyone around here was curious of him.
"Cool!" She smiled at him. "You're gonna like it here. the mistress is really nice to all of us.Although you're the first boy she's hired. Maybe she likes you." Emily enjoyed teasing people.
He smiled, as he continued cooking."I already like it here.Everyone I've met so far is nice, and the place is nice to" he said.Hearing the statement of he was the only boy the mistress had ever hired, he looked back at Emily.His cheeks slowly turning pink.He knew Emily was just teasing him.
"So what are you making her?" Emily asked, looking over his shoulder.
"She wanted chicken noodle soup" he said.One thought came to mind, was he the youngest person here?
Emily looked at him for a minute. "You look like you're wondering something. What is it?" Emily was also really perceptive, which used to get her in trouble with her old master.
Aiko looked at Emily."How old are most of the people here?" He asked."I'm curious, if I'm younger than everyone here, or in between somewhere.."
Emily thought for a minute. "Well that depends. How old are you?"
"17.." he answered.
Emily immediately knew the answer now. "Well the mistress is a couple years older than you. The rest of us, the maids that is, are in between fifteen and eighteen. I'm 17 too."
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm 17, but I'm almost 17" he confessed.So the maids were about his age too...all of them..
"And I'd be careful. The others might try to hit on you. The only person in the house who probably won't is the mistress, but she's a bit shy anyway." She warned him.
His ears flattened a little.He didn't want to imagine that.Most boys his age would probably like that, but not him.Not this shy little cat boy.
Grace patted him on the back. "Yep, you're going to fit in well here."
He looked away.He wasent sure how to respond.But by now, the soup was done..so he went and finished it p..
Grace leaned back in her chair in the dining hall, thinking about how the day had gone.
