"And after all that time, you and Miss Serpentine do not get along?" Daos asks.

"We have our moments, it's true," she admits. "It's...well, it's not a sort of vile hatred. She's...just a bit annoying, you know?"

Daos nods in understanding. Serpentine did seem a bit...aloof at times. Perhaps even a little abrasive. This would make things more difficult. If she were a warm, caring person that everyone loved, sniffing out someone who would want to hurt her would be easier. But as it stands, it will be difficult figuring out who dislikes her for personal reasons and who might hold an actual grudge. "She does seem fairly...iron-fisted," he says.

"Iron-fisted, and completely abstruse," Margaret says. "It's like she expects everyone to know everything she does. Not our fault we aren't as clever as you, Selena."

Daos nods. "Her pursuit of perfection must make her fairly unpopular with the castle staff," he ventures.

"Oh, of course. Nobody really likes her, though I don't know anyone idiotic enough to actually hate her. Or say they do, at least. She's scary as hell." The stewardess shudders.

"Yes, I imagine few if any would be brave enough to say so to her face, but no doubt there is quite a bit of complaining behind her back," Daos ventures.

"Yes, I imagine few if any would be brave enough to say so to her face, but no doubt there is quite a bit of complaining behind her back," Daos ventures. "Oh, certainly. But it's not usually personal. The grumbling is more about 'that damned Advisor' than 'that damned Selena Serpentine."

"So you've never heard anyone complaining about her on a more personal level?" Daos asks.

"Hmm...no, not really. It's just me and a few of the older servants who know her well enough to even have a personal dislike. And either way, she's a frustrating boss, but a decent person. Far as I can tell, anyway."

Daos nods. "I understand. Thank you for filling me in. It helps to know a bit more about my employer."
