Zella had to do everything in her power to keep from raising an eyebrow at the way Everard Under had referred to her. Little mouse? She wondered if it was her hair. People always said her hair looked a little mousy, though she didn't understand how it could be so when it was in that color. She looked at Klaus Liore, who was cooking and giving everyone their breakfast. She gave a polite nod to Everard and went over to Klaus to collect her plate and breakfast. She took some toasted bread. "Thank you, Mr. Liore," she said in her most polite manner. That was what mostly defined her. Her extreme politeness.
She took a seat near Everard, as he had invited, and thanked him. "My name is Zella Ostiarius. It's a pleasure to meet you all." She looked around the room, slightly emboldened by Everard's kindness. If she had known that people were so nice, she wouldn't have doubted coming here so much. But how could they be? People were the reason she... no, she shouldn't dwell on that now. She came here to start over, and she was determined to do just that.
