[Shy Risktaker]

A soft laughter would escape her lips as she watched the creature tumble around with the woman. She'd then allow a soft smile to overcome her lips as she gave a small nod to the small. "Yes ma am.. Pleasure to meet you Miss Black. I'm Alexandria.."  

[Tiina Brown]

"So, you're heading for the Dutchess quarters .... i assume ... I am too ...... Let us go."
She turned around, and started walking, fairly quick, and Rummy kept up beside her.
Camilla and Alexandria followed.
They turned around yet another corner, to the right, and after a bit on that corridor, Siouxie Black opened a door to the right, and went in, followed by Rummy and Camilla, but Camilla waited by the door for Alexandria.  

[Shy Risktaker]

She'd try to keep up with their fast tracks but, failed to do so after a while. As they approached the door, she'd sigh softly but gave Camilla a soft smile as she caught her breath, giving her a small nod of thanks as she entered the room.  

[Tiina Brown]

Inside, there was the same people as before, but Siouxie Black, Rummy, and Ewan had joined them.

The Dutchess moved forth towards Camilla and Alexandria, stopped, and said to Alexandria:
"Your duty is done for now, well done! Now, here you see my full current Retinue ...... Exept for Tiina ....... but she obviously had matters to attend to ......."
Then she turned towards Camilla, and said:
"Well done, Camilla! I will not need your services more, for now."
Camilla made a courtly kneel, looked at Alexandria and smiled, and then went out the door, and closed it behind her.

((Sorry for the long wait, I feel more intelligent now))
Raoul surveyed the situation of the fight. There was no more to be done except cleanup work. Turning to the rest of the reenforcement party, he said, "I'll go after the ninjas, to be sure that they've left the premises entirely. Tiina? Canyara? Will you join me? And Hawk," he said, taking a paper from his belt pouch and scribbling a quick report, "take this to the Duchess, will you? Find Tanya, she'll show you."  

[Shy Risktaker]

She'd give The Dutchesss a soft smile, her cheeks a soft pink as she took a step back before bowing respectfully, standing up once more. Her eyes would flash over those in the room as she began to feel a bit nervous, her body begining to shake a bit as she blushed a bit more before smiling weakly. "Er.. Yes ma'am. Of course. Thank you .. Is there um.. A-Anything else I um.. You wish for me to do?"  

[Tiina Brown]

The Dutchess seemed to be thinking, and then answered:
"No, not really right now, but i request you stay in this room, so you may answer directly when i have something for you.
....... you could get aquainted with the others ....... hm?"  

[Tiina Brown]

(()That's ok, Kitty))
In the Stables:
Tiina said:
".. I'll change into something more fitting first, and then i'll join you."
And then she sunk, like a ghost, down through the floor.
Canyara said:
"Sure, i can join you ....."
FSSSHTT!!
Suddenly, all the ninjas has seemingly vanished in small amounts of grey smoke, and Canyara said, sighing:
"I just wondered when they'd do this...."  

[Kitty Falcon]

Hawk, note in hand, set off at a brisk pace through the hall. "Tanya?" she called tentatively. "Tanya..." Rounding a corner, Hawk nearly collided with the girl. "Oh! Hello. I'm Hawk, and Raoul asked me to deliver his report to the Duchess, but I don't know where her rooms are..." Hawk trailed off. "Can you help me?" Tanya smiled understandingly. "Yes, follow me," she said, indicating a hallway to their left. She took Hawk straight through the now-empty Great Hall, around the passage to the Maid's wing, and up to the Duchess's wing, and knocked on her door.  

[Tiina Brown]

Inside, the Dutchess said:
"Alexandria, you're closest. Answer the door, dear."  

[Shy Risktaker]

"Yes ma'am.." She'd give Dutchess a small nod, smiling softly as she turned, skipping over towards the door as she grabbed the handle of the door, turning it as she opened it.  

[Kitty Falcon]

Hawk smiled at Alexandria. "Hello, miss," she said, politely. "I bring a report from Sir Raoul to my Lady, the Duchess. Might I ask admittance?" Hawk dropped her formal manner and translated in a low voice, for Alexandria's ears only, "Can I come in? Sir Raoul gave me a report to deliver to the Duchess."
Tanya stood back and out of the way, not needing to take part in the exchange. "Miss Hawk? Are you alright from here?" She, too, spoke quietly. Hawk smiled and nodded to her, and Tanya smiled too, leaving as quietly as a mouse. She made her way towards the Stable wing to tell Raoul that no more ninjas were to be seen inside the mansion.  

[Tiina Brown]

The Dutchess spoke:
"Ah, you are the one Ewan told me about! I assume you have something important to say, lest you would not have sought out my chambers ... So, please, proceed, ... "
She smiled, friendly.  

[Shy Risktaker]

A small laughter would escape her lips as she gave Miss Hawk a small nod, stepping aside allowing her to enter. As she passed by, she'd speak softly, just enough for Miss Hawk to hear. "Ma'am .. I understood what you said. I know my vocabulary fairly well, my dear .. " She'd blush softly, laughing softly once more as she closed the door as they entered, following behind at a distance.  

[Kitty Falcon]

Hawk smiled and whispered to Alexandria, "Better safe than sorry." Then Hawk faced the Duchess and curtsied. In a normal tone, she said, "Sir Raoul gave me a report to deliver concerning the recent ninja attack." She held out the rolled up note.
