Well, this was the manor... This is where Flora stated Sara was supposed to go, and take a few tests... The tests mostly center around some general skills, specific skills, and abstract thinking... The guard at the entrance should allow her passage to the manor easy enough, presuming she dragged Flora's note along with her, and Flora herself is currently reading a book in the hallway, her desk in the library filled with other books and papers. Or well, reading... She appears to be memorizing it, mostly.
Sveta arrives up from the factory floor, a faint smell of grease about her that quickly dissipates once the goshawk has emerged into fresh air. Just a cursory inspection to make sure that everything is in order - and everything is, but everyone is still antsy about the other side of the family. Nevertheless, the look of Flora unguardedly reading a book in the hallway makes her smile a little as she passes by and acknowledges Flora with a bow of her head, deeper than necessary. If one can't be safe in one's home, then where?
Having recieved the note regarding her appointment with Flora, the directions to the manor proper, and most importantly the admission required to pass through the gates, the latter being an especially important detail, considering her state of appearance in an area deemed mostly for the nobles and dignitaries living there, the lizard woman in question begins walking towards the front gates of the manor, the slip of paper clenched tightly, yet still carefull in her right hand. As she approaches her crimson gaze occasionally falls upon the citizens, whether they had noticed her or not, had they done so, her pace would increase significantly more, as if fearing what they'd think, say or do, had she lingered. Eventually however she does infact reach the main gates and approaches the guard, "Uh.. uhm.." she begins, her voice cracking with nervous behavior, "I'm here to see the Lady Longtail. I've.. I've a letter.. um. Here." she then lifts the note in easy reach for the man in question.
Flora the man in question turns out to be a woman, and a hefty one at that. The bear by the door quickly checks the note, and takes it, before gesturing her companion to open the large gates and guide Sara towards the large manison.
Her companion is a male fox, a gun slung over his shoulder, and he quickly guides Sara towards the double doors, knocking three times and halting a moment.
With a weighty sigh of contentment that almost seems to deflate the lizard woman, Sara passes through the opening gates and follows the fox to the front door. Along the way, she doesn't seem to stray more than a few feet from the guard, and says very little along the way. Eventually the two reach the door and waits patiently, her tail swaying slowly behind her in anticipation.
At the knocking, Sveta looks askance at Flora, still reading, and smiles. "Let me go get it, Flora. You should get as much rest as you can for the kittens." With a sharp nod to her friend and employer, the goshawk crosses the foyer in a handful of easy steps and twists the doorknob to reveal Sara and her little escort onto the manor grounds. "Good morning, Jerome. A visitor? I take it you've cleared her sufficiently? You know how antsy the High Lady can get about folk wandering where they're not supposed to."
"She... She had this letter. An invite by the High Lady herself. Laila has it right now, she's checking up on it, but so far, it checks out," Jerome mumbles, before looking up at Sveta. "I... We also need a new stack of papers at the front door, so she'll have to sign them here, dame Longtail," he mumbles after a while.
%Flora herself lets out a little agitated huff, before standing up, and moving along. Even though her belly is ronded with child, she is still as nimble as ever... For now, at least.
"Svetlana Kutznetsova Longtail. Flora is perfectly capable of opening the door herself, yes. As for reset... Flora is most restful when Flora is doing something, yes yes... Now, as for the visitor... Do let miss Sara in. It's no good letting a potential employee wait outside, no."
As the doorway opens to a face she had not recognized, or even seen yet, Sara is quickly caught off guard begins sputtering her response, "Uhm.. Lady Longtail is.. is expecti--.." she finally gets out before the guard offers a far better response than she ever could under the circumstances. "Y-yes.. um.. nice to.. uh.. to meet you." she states as the guard finishes the briefing. Her stammering however does seem to come to a rather swift close as a familiar voice reaches her ears as well as the odd sight of her eyes almost glazing over for all of a brief moment. "Lady Longtail?" Sara asks with a brief bow to the tigress, her voice seeming far different from earlier, "It is a pleasure to meet you again." With the permission granted, the lizard nods her thanks to the guard that had escorted her to the manor and crosses the threshold, offering both benefactors a prompt and courtious bow, while she had mentioned she did not require such acts at the inn, the woman had seemed to believe that would no longer be the case within her own home.
Sveta nods gracefully to Jerome. "I'll have a stack sent down as soon as possible. But if the High Lady herself wishes to see our visitor, then I'm sure she'll keep an eye out for anything untoward." Seeing Sara move ahead to where Flora is sitting, Sveta closes the door behind them with an audible click.
As the goshawk steadily approaches where Flora is sitting, she tilts her head and gives the tigress her best disarming grin. "I'm just watching out for both you and Matthews. But you're the best judge of yourself, of course. We have a new potential employee?" She eyes Sara, quickly sizing up the lizard. "Sara, is it?"
Flora rumbles and pulls a set of three papers from a case near the wall, laying them mout on the table. "Flora is still just Flora," the she-cat mumbles, both to Sveta and Sara, before gesturing at the papers and placing a pen besides them. "Please read and sign these first. Simple agreements of non-disclosure," she murrs with a smile, before leaning back.
"A potential employee. Miss Sara says she's a good shot and a crafter, yes."
Looks to Sveta and nods an affirmation, "I am yes, a pleasure to meet you." she states, her hand slowly moving out as if attempting to request a handshake, though it soon falls back, remembering a distinct warning that Flora was not one to be touched, and while she had heard nothing on Sveta, she was still unwilling to make a distinct faux pas on her first meeting with another within the Longtail Industries. Looking to Flora once again she nods as her more notable skills are spoken and she speaks again, "Thank you, Flora." before looking down to the paper infront of her and looking it over, her reading mainly consisting of a brief skim of the contract. With the jist of it understood Sara quickly signs her name at the required line and states, "You needn't worry, my lips are sealed."
Sveta notices Sara's hesitation and extends one gloved hand towards Sara once the signing is done. "It's all right," she says in a slightly hushed voice. "The High Lady has her own quirks, as do we all." She looks to Flora, waiting for the tigress to begin, not wishing to tread on her toes.
A soft rumble, a flick, and a murr from Flora's muzzle, before the cat looks up at Sara. Her tail flicks about all the while, and her ears twitch a moment. "Here at LongTech Industries, we aim to make lives better through the use of technology. We differentiate by using a minimal amount of magic in the end-product... Although we will use magic during manufacturing, if required,m or useful.
