Castiel's clothing was more than halfway organized by the time Tanzy inspected Anise's work. She was surprised at how well the younger female did, secretly thinking she'd find it wasn't done exactly as she liked it done. Tanzy felt guilty. Not for being picky, she knew she wasn't fixing things others did out of any dislike or because she thought she was better, she was simply compulsive. But she did feel a pang of guilt for doubting Anise's ability, even a bit. Tanzy smiled at the cute, dark haired female.

"Couldn't have dusted better myself. You're very thurough. It's good, it shows you're a hard worker and pay attention to detail. Thanks for helping me!" Tanzy praised Anise, beaming at the other girl as she resumed her own chore, polishing a pair of shoes before setting it in it's proper place, with the dressy ones.

Pausing as she considered the ladder inquiry, Tanzy shrugged, shaking her head. "Sorry. Not so sure on that one. I'm sure there's one somewhere...just where to find it is the issue." she remarked, shifting some shirts and tunics to their new places. She removed two that needed to be ironed. Catching Anise's voice again, Tanzy looked over her shoulder to see her.

"I'm the oldest of five. As soon as I was old enough to work, I went out to be a maid for anyone who needed one and would pay. I wanted to help my parents out, since they did so much for us. So I worked at a few manse's, a few estates. No royalty though, just upper class and wealthy homes. I learned from the maids and butlers I worked with. she answered, looking almost wistful and happy as her thoughts went to her family.

Her expression looked more thoughtful after Anise mentioned the vampires. Drew the short straw? It certainly seemed like it. She nodded. "Yes, I doubt they are inclined to let people off easy. It's true he hasn't shown hatred. But he did tell me I'd become fertilizer for his garden if I asked anymore tedious questions. " Anise's sneeze interrupted any other thought or comment, a smile greeting the apology.

"No need to be sorry. Bless you."
