[ Steve is trained. More than that, he's practiced. Lord Maynard stays relaxed in his seat as he watches the older consort respond.
From his position Noiz can still tell that his master is pleased. He's glad of that. Noiz likes Steve and he believes that he's a good consort, one who certainly didn't deserve to be mistreated by his mistress so. Because he's pleasing Lord Maynard, it's likely he'll be kept on.
But Noiz is also unhappy at his appearance, as much as he tries to hide it. When Steve looks up he meets his gaze for a second before glancing away again, silent as Lord Maynard replies. ]
Your credentials impressed me. Your master never had a complaint about your services, so I expect the same level of work, even if you only remain here for a month. [ He pauses, then nods, almost to himself. ] This is my consort, Noiz. I'll have him show you to your accommodations. Come to my rooms at three this afternoon.
