"Master Krasznius, the guests will arrive in approximately five hours." said a rather small PK Droid.
"Very good, XP. I'll be sure to remember that." Mel stated with a smile and a joyous face. He was dressed in red robes with black trim, and a cape flowed from his crimson epaulettes to his golden boots. A most glorious formality filled the room with a sense of elegance. Sturdy ottomans next to large couches, a large, darkwood table, several matching chairs next to it, and various, imported treasures congested the atmosphere.
As Mel trudged to the maid, Kilkaz Mazzorel, a native of Eriadu, a small boy blocked him from doing so.
"Daddy! We get to meet those rich people?"
"Why of course, my son." Mel said, smiling. He patted his son on the head. The child began to run whilst the maid chased him, making sure the "young master" didn't wreck something or got his clothes dirty.
"Kilkaz, make sure to get the food ready!" Mel yelled as the maid scurried about, trying to catch young Marcus Krasznius.
How good life is.He continued across the large room and into his office, where his wife, Harriet, began cleaning. Mel frowned and confronted her.
"Do you realize that the maid cleans everything, Harriet."
"Of course, dear. That doesn't mean we shouldn't help her."
"But it's her job."
"I don't care. The poor woman is getting old."
"She's fine."
"She's getting tired. Not even
you can deny that Marcus drains her of life every day."
"It's her job." Mel said, still adhering to his point.
"Fine, fine. If you must be right like each argument prior to this one."
Mel scowled a bit. He never liked that last sentence, so he simply left the room to let Harriet do what she wanted. This was another constant in the family.
