Just finished another FE Fates style portrait set commission! This time around I got to work on @notsofatpinkcat‘s OC, Theikos! She’s very cute. <3 

In the Silvenheim Manor, it wasn’t odd to see Zylarra making out with her girlfriend, or occasionally, catching Zasalemel in a moment of uncharacteristic lust with his wife. However, when it came to the house itself, the head of the staff, Marilla, was never with a man around her arm. She had always been the head of staff since the former Lord Silvenheim’s death, and even now, she did her job rather diligently. However, when they hired Theikos, the job became easier, much to Marilla’s dismay. She often found herself with free afternoons, and this bothered her to no end. And what was worse, she could not seem to shake the new butler. “You know, Marilla, If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask.” He would says as he leans against the doorway, as she was cleaning in the uniform that she tried to use to attract the eyes of the men on the staff.  She hated when he would speak. In her mind, it was obvious why he was here. He was here to usurp her spot as head of the staff. However she would not allow this pretender to take her rightful spot. “I don’t know what you mean, Theikos. Your help would hardly be of use to me.” She spat back as she continued to clean, “I doubt you can even do anything right to begin with.” This pattern of contempt continued until she was caught in the dining room, polishing silver. “Why are you so hostile Marilla?” The man asks as he approaches, “I have merely tried to make your life easier.” He states as he goes to take half the silver to polish, only to be met with a large knife where his hand had been just a moment before, and a deadly glare from the woman. “Because I do not appreciate my replacement trying to be buddy-buddy with me.” She spits back, her eyes locked on the man as he takes a seat near her. “I am not your replacement, Marilla. I am merely here to serve Lord Silvenheim and his wife, same as you.” He says matter of factly, “No one is replacing anyone.”  The sanctimonious tone he uses seems to set her off, as soon there is a knife embedded in the chair to the right of Theikos’s head.  “...I see we’re going to have to work on this.” He says as he stands, “Good day Marilla. I do so love these little talks of ours.” He adds as he moves to leave, “I’ll win you over one day, I’m sure.” He says with a chuckle.
