"Sit up, Cassian," a gruff voice made the boy sit up tall. Dressed smartly in a dark suit, he sat in their parlour, green eyes darting to his siblings who snickered on the side.
"How do I look mom?" Carina grinned, giving their parents a twirl in her new cream dress.
"You look great honey," the woman gave her a smile, as she fixed up a vase of flowers, Cato already sauntering through the house as if he owned the place.
"All right, remember your manners," his father spoke, "the Rayne family are allies of ours now, but you can't trust any other family in positions like these. Remember to keep your mouth shut about anything to do with our family business, be polite and if you don't have anything interesting to say, don't say anything at all."
"Dad's telling you to shut up, Cass," Cato laughed, as Carina giggled next to him.
Cass scowled, only to wipe his face of emotion when his father turned to him. "Don't disappoint me, Cassian," he frowned, "I'm allowing you to prove yourself worthy now that you're part of our society. Don't mess it up."
"Yes father," the boy spoke dully, looking up as the doorbell rang and a servant greeted the other family at the door. His mother quickly moved towards the door and they could hear some quick chatter as his father's large frame entered the hallway as well.
"Better behave," Carina crooned, "I wonder how long dad will lock you in the basement if you mess this up for him."
"Shut up, Carina," Cassian sulked.
