"Come on man! Your mom's already getting tired of your crap! At least let me do my job and I can stop shouting through this stupid door!"

You bang your fist against the large door again. Just the silence from the other end was getting on your nerves. And you liked when it was silent. Except when it's literally costing you your job.

"At least say something so everyone doesn't think you've hung yourself!" You shout again.

With another round of silence, you groan and just storm off with an audible "fuck it". This job was already pissing you off. When navigating to what looked like a large entertainment room where several other females were, their attention all worked up when you pulled the door open. They were all members of Riser's peerage.

"Don't get your hopes up. Didn't hear a sound in there." You deadpan as you shut the door behind you. "Doesn't really seem to be in any kind of talking mood. But who am I to talk?"

You didn't waste any time taking a seat on one of the many sofas in the room. About half of Riser's peerage was present.

The queen, Yubelluna. The woman you sorta reported to in regards to trying to coax Riser to leave his damn room. She had some annoying pride issues but other than that, she didn't strike you as someone who got on your nerves.

A bishop, Mihae. A bit more on the calm and soft-spoken side. But she had that Asia kind of energy. In which that kind of made you somewhat wary of what you say, but not enough to stop you from saying what's on your mind.

A knight. Karlamine. She defiantly got on your nerves a bit. The whole chivalrous attitude remained you of Kiba. And Kiba was annoyingly nice where it got to the point of being uncomfortable. Not like you have personal beef. It's just the way she speaks and conducts herself was the polar opposite of you and it bothered you.

And the Rooks. Isabela and Xuelan. While Isabela was a bit like you where she's crass and doesn't mince words, a bit respectable. Xuelan was strict. Almost Sona strict. Annoying but she's at least the type to get the job done.

Speaking of crass. If there was one thing that came out of your talk with Lady Phenex. It was this.

"You sure he hasn't killed himself yet?" You had to ask.

That's right. Lady Phenex actually let you. Well. Be you. Surprisingly, when you and Serafall were discussing the terms of what your job here was, Lady Phenex was smart enough to pick up how it would be fucking impossible to talk like they do. None of that etiquette, mister nice guy crap. Just you, letting you act like you. It really is one of the most relieving things in the universe.

"Master Riser had been eating the meals we've left outside his room." Mihae briefly informs.

"At that point. Use that as bait and drag him out kicking and screaming if we have to." You say while stretching your arms over your head. "Look, I've only got ten more days here. And we've already wasted two just sitting outside his door."

"His our master. We can't just drag him out of his room if he doesn't order us too." Karlamine argues. "He wants to be left alone to recuperate."

"He's been in there for months!" You point out. "We can at least get shots of everyone else but noooo! We have to try and get the broody one to leave his hole just to get shots he doesn't need to be in yet!"

"Please calm down." Mihae nervously speaks up.

Letting out a very audible sigh, you lean back onto the couch again. Getting into a shouting fight wasn't gonna solve anything. This whole fix-up Riser to his usual self wasn't working. And you doubt you would. You're not a prep talker nor a hype man. All you knew how to do was just manage to piss someone off enough to make them do something out of spite. And so far, your approach isn't even setting off Riser.
