Obviously, manual labor was not an option.

Once Bast had settled her onto the train, in the watchful eye of her favorite cousin, Leecey faced her first challenge. Hmm. How, pray, could she get an eager-to-act-macho twelve year old boy to do her bidding?

“Al, this is sooo heavy.” Weakly, Leecey’s well-manicured fingers gave a lame attempt at dragging one of her bags. “I wish you could help me, but you can barely handle your own, can’t you?”

That had to do the trick.

Alessandro had never in his twelve years of life ever seen his cousin Leecey carry her own things. The Toussaint-Botts has servants for just about everything and his eleven year old cousin was, admittedly, precious cargo all on her own. He did not expect his most darling cousin to carry her luggage all on her lonesome once they climbed aboard the train, so he was not surprised that the moment her brother was gone Leecey was putting on a show to get him to act as her pack mule.

Without any more prompting, Al took up her luggage and began to drag it along, “None of the girls in your dorm are going to help you unpack any of this.” They did not love her like he did. And the elves were not servants here, either. She would be completely on her own.
