Cerise's private quarters were on the third floor of the mansion, along with a few other rooms for staff. The second floor had been mostly made into rooms for courtesans and their clients. But in the morning, Cerise's destination was the first floor. The moment she arrived, a few people came to her with reports for the morning. Most of the previous night's clients had left, returning to their daily lives with only a little bit of shame. Foodstuffs had already been procured from the House's suppliers, and was being prepared for the rest of the day.
"...Anne is bedridden?"
The house physician, a spindly woman, nodded. "I'm afraid so, madam Bellamy. Merely a bad coughing spell, nothing that she won't recover from with plenty of rest for the day at least."
"Then she shall have it. Let Anne know she will be excused from her duties until she is fully recovered." The physician nods and retreats to the other rooms, and Cerise waits until she's well out of earshot before sighing.
"The captain of the guard shall be disappointed tonight. But he will understand, one way or another."

Lucy walked right next to Cerise, and as she received the news, Lucy had a ledger in hand, keeping track of the finances and noting which girls were unavailable, the ones that were available and their shifts.
"Perhaps the captain would enjoy a...royal replacement?" Lucy told Cerise, suggesting one of her lovely captures.

Cerise looked back towards Lucy and grinned at her. "Why, that is downright inspired, my dear. That boorish man has certainly wiled away an hour or two with fantasies of royalty. The chance to enact his dreams... I think he could be convinced to part with more of his Rupees for that."
She chuckled. "Place her in the active shifts, my dear. She may grow quite popular."

"Without a doubt she'll be very...fetching." Lucy said, writing the information into the ledger. "Any special instructions you'd like me to give her? This is the captain of the guard after all." She said, chuckling. "You could auction his loyalty if we get him good..."

Cerise shuddered as she thought of the Captain's preferences. The man was certainly adept at appearing noble to the public, that much was certain. "Tell her to have a bath ready in advance. She will appreciate it later." She let out a small chuckle at that second remark. "Perhaps. Having a man of his stature in our pocket would be valuable, even if he is a buffoon."

Lucy nodded. "Tell her to be ready for something sickening enough to make a Hinox seem decent. Noted.", she spoke while writing it down. She then changed the subject. "Oh, it's also noteworthy to remind you that there will be a meeting of nobles tomorrow. We may see an increase in clientele."

"I have heard of it. A few dignitaries from foreign lands, as well. Perhaps it will be a chance to expand our name outside of Hyrule." Cerise lightly touched her chin in thought. "Something to consider for later on, I suppose. For now, we should focus on our work here."

She nodded. "What do you have in mind for today, then?" Lucy asked, taking a moment to look at the other girls in the House of Orchids going about their routine.

"For today, we shall work as we have been. We'll need to increase our stocks for tomorrow, I expect the visiting dignitaries will want to relieve their stresses once they have finished with their duties. Then, if all goes well tonight, I shall expect a very special guest in my chambers." Cerise turned her head back to wink at Lucy. This wasn't the first time she had said something like that to her.

"Any particular 'stock' in mind, Cerise?" Lucy asked while writing it all down. And when Cerise flirted, Lucy smiled softly. "Well, maybe I should make myself sparse, otherwise I'd just be a common guest..." She winked back.
