Lilja followed the clank called Mr. Butler into the entrance hall of Darkstar manor where other members of the clank staff waited. "At present there are 4 servants and myself waiting upon your needs. Mrs. Butler who is of a similar prototype to myself is the head of the maid staff." The clank that seemed to be a female caricature of Mr. Butler curtsied. "Madame." Here Mr. Butler nodded to the diminutive clank between Mrs. Butler and itself. "There are three maidservants. This is Dove. On the stairs is Raven. On the balcony is Crow. They have not the gift of human speech so if a detailed conversation where answers in the affirmative or negative by your servant proves insufficient have the little ones bring Mrs. Butler or myself." Lilja narrowed her eyes as she nodded to the staff. "The "little ones" as you call them appear more human. Like Dolls more than clanks, really."
