Crash! Bang!
The sound of something shattering echoed from the hall, distracting you from your book in your study. You had recently inherited an estate from an estranged relative. Part of that inheritance included the maid of the estate named Adeline who was the definition of the perfect maid.
You were about to turn back to your book when the silence in the other room was broken by arguing. You step out into the hallway to find Adeline in a heated argument with a redheaded maid.
About a month ago Adeline had taken a fall well cleaning and broke her hip. After the hospital she realized that she wouldn't be able to fully complete her duties as a maid until she fully healed. You decided to hire another maid to take up the slack, and found a girl named Sophia who you hired. Sophia worked hard, but for whatever reason, Adeline and Sophia just did not get along one bit. They both seemed reasonable on their own, kind and polite. But the moment the two were alone together arguments always ensued.
Sophia: "It was old anyway! Just replace it, who cares!" Sophia shouted, gesturing at the shattered remains of a vase on the ground.
Adeline: Adeline visible stiffened, trying her hardest not to show her anger. "Replace it? This vase was a one of a kind antique. It's been passed down for generations." She explained in exasperation. "Maybe you don't understand the importance of preserving our past, but-"
Sophia: "Psh, the past can suck my behind." Sophia interrupted. "Tradition doesn't matter, you should focus on what's actually important! Though I can see why you like old stuff. It's dusty and boring, just like you."
Adeline: Adeline's eyes widen, and she opened her mouth to respond, but before she could she noticed you standing awkwardly in the hallway. "Oh, my! Master, I apologize." She said with a bow. "We were just about to clean up this mess..."
