"Oh" Stunned, "Miss Zara, you are.. you move me to unseemly delight. I am not truly kithain, obviously. To some this makes me- ill suited to tea invitations ,even if not high tea"

"Oh, some teas are for kith only, of course. But one may show manners to all."

"I do hope I gain this position, folks are so genteel. " Ivanka moves to the spider webs "Oh no, I simply must learn the location so I do not break these lovely tapestries."

"Well, some like the same space - others, they shall move every few days..."

"1122 does not spin webs, he is more akin to a Wolf Spider than the sisters..."

1122 pops close, and gives a bow with sweeping motion of forelegs

"How charming" Ivanka gasps "Pleased to meet you all." She looks at the other spiders "Fear not ladies, I shall adapt to accomidate the needs of your rotation. A good maid respects the occupants"

"Oh, I certainly hope you may join the cadre!"

Indeed, the ladies seem to agree.

Ivanka flushes lightly, then remembers "oh, how foolish. you mention tea, but as a Maid it is I who should be fetching it for you when you call for it. What should I know regarding preferences of blend, what cups you like? And so forth?"

"Ah, well! Let's discuss..."

And Ivanka snaps to attention .Clearly she sees this a matter of she MUST get it right

Zara has Opinions about tea.

And they are listened to. How to serve, from what side.While Zara would bristle at being called aristocratic.

...well... this is where her breeding as a sluagh and as a Scarsdale affluent might show

Just so!

And Ivanka plays the servant beautifully. Zara deals with many maids, but Ivanka understands sluagh needs as the boggans likely never will. "Of course, do you like crumpets lightly mildewed to accompany?"

And so Ivanka learns. And it's possible someone's Ceranic nature does like the pleasure of being tended to.. properly
