Head tilts, MIMICKING that of the maid he’s speaking with. The way she speaks to him almost offends him; as if she knows who he is. What he wants. The joke is on her, though - Edric wants everything. From the sun to the moon, he wants it A L L, and he won’t hesitate to take what he wants. This girl needs to realize that; as facetious as her words may be, they still hold some truth. If you really want something, then you may as well grab it. Oh, he certainly will.
❛ I fear you’re a bit mistaken, dear... ❜ His chin tilts upwards now, looking down at her - down, down, always looking down on others. He is blissfully aware that his status is of much higher level than most of those around him; money is EVERYTHING to him and to this society, and he’s got a plethora of it, an endless amount that he is still hesitant to spend, because without money, there is no POWER. He wonders briefly if this maid comes with the house, or if she is contracted to the family who owns it. Either way, she seems to make for quite an interesting time in this place. He won’t let himself be DISTRACTED by her - even if that is her ultimate goal. ❛ There is NOTHING that I can’t have. ❜
With that, he pulls away from the hand on his chin and maintains his professional appearance, the smile on his face shifting from sour to polite.
❛ Tell me, do you come with the house, or will I have to fight to keep you on as my maid? ❜
