as I am dear brother.. I hope you know what that means..

Alec.

athenodora: Very nice to hear from you dear, Mistress Thena.. I sure miss kissing thy hands for luck.. *chuckles*

My brother sure knows how to flatter thy Mistress Thena. *smirks*

*looks at Thena*

I'd only like to think Mistress Thena gives me the best lucks whenever she bids me goodbye...

*raises an eyebrow at Alec*

...but of course, I do my job very well since my mother-figure would be so worried. My Lady Sulpicia comes first.. always.

*straight face and looks straight at Alec's eyes*

But of course, dear brother, our best loyalties are on both of our Mistresses..

*smiles at Jane*

Naturally, sister. Who could resist my Lady Sulpicia's pleading yet authoritative eyes. Your every order is my command.

*chuckles* i miei figli... *strokes both of their cheeks*

And don't forget, Mistress' every wish is our command.

*chuckles at Sulpicia's reactions*

*shakes head at Athenodora*
