As Master Alex, engaged in playful banter with James, hears Daniel's echoing mantra of humility and submission, a smile spreads across his lips, soon followed by a hearty laugh. The sound reverberates through the corridors of Theowood Estate, a testament to the jovial atmosphere that permeates within its walls.
"Ah, Daniel," Master Alex remarks, his laughter subsiding but his amusement lingering, "ever the dutiful servant."
Turning his attention back to James, he continues their playful interaction, the earlier moment of levity serving as a reminder of the unique dynamics and traditions that define life within Theowood Estate.
James, catching the infectious spirit of Master Alex's laughter, joins in with a chuckle of his own, the tension of the moment dissipating as they share in the camaraderie of the estate.
And as the laughter fades and a sense of tranquility settles over them, Master Alex and James continue their playful exchange, their bond strengthened by the shared experience and the enduring traditions that unite them within the confines of Theowood Estate.
