The Servants of the Eldridge Manor

~~~
Alexander smiled. "Hello, my name is Alexander Bishop. I am the head butler of the Eldridge Manor. M'lady has asked me to do this and so without further ado...Allow me to introduce the residents of the Eldridge Manor."

"Firstly, Ren and Rin."
Two blondes, presumably twins, both with blue eyes walked onto the scene. "Hi!" The male twin shouted enthusiastically. The female elbowed him. "Ren." She whispered. "Oh, right!" Ren rubbed the back of his head, still grinning. The female bowed. "My name is Rin, and this is my brother Ren. He can be quite a clutz at times." She gave a small smile. Ren pouted, turning to Rin. "Aye! That ain't nice, sis." He turned back. "As my sis said, the name's Ren! A pleasure to meet ya'" He grinned, giving a peace sign. "My sis and I work at the manor as I'm sure y'all know. Miss Eldridge was kind enough to hire us orphans. Sis is a gardener, and I work with the horses." He spoke, beaming brightly at the end.

"Secondly, Damien Woods." A red-haired male walked up, taking a drag of a cigarette. "The name's Damien, Damien Woods. I'm the Chef. Lady Arabella took me in. I used to be a thief, now I'm here. Guess I'm glad, could have been worse. The kid's a good one." He smiled slightly before scowling once more. "Anythin' else I need to say, Xander?" The green-eyed male turned to the butler. Alexander sighed. "Please refrain from calling me that, Damien. And yes, that is sufficient." "Good." He muttered, walking off.

"Eleanor Grey." A female with raven hair and warm hazel eyes walked up, curtseying. "Good [Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night.] My name is Eleanor Grey, and I currently reside as the Head Maid of the Eldridge Manor. It is a pleasure to meet you all." She straightened up. "My Lady helped save me from a dark time, and for that, I am forever in her debt. I would do anything for her, even give up my own life." Her tone started off soft and turned serious near the end.

"And last but not least, m'lady herself." The noble lady walked up, curtseying. "It is a pleasure to be with you all. My name is Lady Arabella Violet Eldridge, The Queen's Rose and Heiress of the Eldridge Manor. I hope you've enjoyed meeting the residents of my manor, and I look forward to getting to know you all. Should you ever visit my manor, I can guarantee Eldridge Hospitality." Once again, Arabella curtseyed. "Well, this concludes our meeting. Please feel free to ask any of us questions." Alexander bowed. "Thank you."
