The silence that followed didn't really phase the kohl servant, who simply kept his pace and waited for a response, or their arrival at the cavern's mouth. If Artorias didn't want to offer up any insight, that wasn't going to hinder the results too much- it would only increase the time the pair spent holed up in the caves. "The lady she will be serving is the same size as me, so I think anything smaller is a good starting point. She would need to look like she belongs serving a princess, in body and in coat, feminine and lithe and appealing to look at," the young man rattled the requirements off with only the slightest hesitation, allowing time for him to file the words away in the back of his mind to turn over until he found the right fit. "I don't think she would have much intensity or strain in her work. Mostly pampering, caring for, grooming.

He paused for a moment, surveying the landscape for a moment to ensure they were still on course. He noted one of the scouts at their post, staring him down. He ignored the other wolf. "In regards to the companionship you mentioned, should this handmaiden expect to be servicing your lordship as well? I have a few young women who have come directly from the brothels overseas, and were held in high regard, should that be the primary focus of her duties." he said gently, casting his gaze over to the young man briefly to gauge his reaction. This was a dangerous question, as either man might take it as an offence and opt to disembowel him here on the tundra for the slight against their honour. STEP IN LINE, EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE |
