House of Dashiell
Current Headaches
Sitting in the library, the Huttese lesson was winding down. Despite the fact Phoebe was now enrolled in a small, local private school, her tutoring at home had not stopped. Trade languages, as her Mimi said, were critical for a young lady to learn. Especially if she was to be involved in the family business in some form or fashion. With the last word written in her notebook, she closed the cover and looked at her nanny expectantly.
"Well done Miss Phoebe. Your pronunciation of compound words has increased over the past few months. I will have to speak to your mother about adding Sy Bisti to our lessons."
Beside her, Kellan groaned. Ever since her cousin came to live with them he had the same stringent requirements for education as she did, albeit a slightly different path. Her cousin went off world for his education most days, jaunting to Lythos IX to study under a old Jedi in the fields. Agri-something program it was called.
"Lia, when is Mama coming home?" A small pause. "Is Mimi home?"
"Your mother is not expected back any time soon, I believe she has travelled to the upper part of the Unknown Regions. Your grandmother is busy working on a banking project I'm afraid."
A small frown. Not an acceptable answer.
"Who is home?"
Lia, placing the workbooks back on a shelf, paused. A nannybiot in disguise, she had the benefit of connecting not only to the HoloNet but also the DarkNet, along with proprietary information on the family. Her status as an inorganic was well hidden. As far as anyone know, she was a orphan girl from the Hapan Cluster, making her way in the universe as a nanny for the wealthy family.
"Your father is currently in his office. Emergency holocall. Your other grandmother is currently on Ceto. Miss Persephone and Miss Rue are at the Desert Mirage music festival. Your grandfather is travelling from Serenno, your Uncle Balun is currently unknown. Last status was marked as travelling."
Phoebe slumped, instantly bored.
"Lia, may we go outside?"
"Of course Miss Phoebe. Come along, I will watch over the both of you."
