It seemed more than a little bit strange to Asher that no one seemed to have either noticed or acknowledged his arrival but the boy didn't much want to stand out in the drive forever so after some time had passed he took the initiative and went up to the front door. Knocking probably would have been the best course of action to take in that instance but instead Asher opted to just reach out and open the door, poking his head inside and gazing around. He called out to see if anyone was around, looking over his shoulder at the servant that had accompanied him when the teen came up to him and said that he shouldn't do that.
"It'll be alright," Asher said, offering the teen servant a roguish grin before shifting his green eyes in the direction of a voice that was accompanied by the sound of footsteps. He looked at the man that was approaching and gave him a scrutinizing gaze, thinking that he appeared way too serious for his own good though the child wisely kept his mouth closed and didn't actually come right out and say that. How long he would be able to maintain that filter between his mouth and his brain was anyone's guess but for the moment he was watching what he said.
The servant looked over at the master of the house and offered him a polite bow when he was more or less curly dismissed. "As you wish m'lord," he said politely before looking at Asher and then turning to take his leave. He did return to get the child's bags, carrying those up to the door and leaving them before he returned to the small carriage that he had driven, which was really just a cart pulled by a pony but it was basically all that he could manage.
Asher watched as the teen departed and then he looked back at the man and offered him something of a smile, the boy still coming across as shy. "Hello, I'm Asher," he introduced, thinking that maybe this guy would be less uptight if he introduced himself. Briefly the boy thought about offering up his hand but at the last moment he changed his mind about that one and instead just stood there with his hands behind his back, his green eyes focused on his host as he waited for the man to tell him what happened next.
