A Manor situated on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland. The wind blows softly against the walls as Hailey Mckay, the matriarch of the Mckay and Smith family walks along the corridor, scowl on her face and heavy stride in her legs. The woman may have been on the other side of youthful these days, but her looks, nor her walk has remained and so aslong as she pulls some weight in this family, she was going to stay this way. However, when Isla became of age she wouldl consider handing the reigns over to the younger girl. A frown appeared as she thought about her Granddaughter. It was such as shame that she be related to that useless thing of a Grandson. That boy certainly had no place in this family nor this household, to think he thought that copulating with a halfblood and producing an heir would get him in her good graces. What a pathetic waste of space. Hailey slowed to a brisk walk as she neared the elves room and looked in the door. "Sita, you will prepare the beverages for my guests. Dalilah, you have the privledge of cleaning out the conference room. I want that place in complete shape on my return. If i find even a speck of dust, the consequences for you will be severe." Hailey made to leave before turning back to the elves and glaring at them. "And please ensure that Rosie and Hyacinth have the food ready before they get here. I will not be embarrassed by the poor standard of my houseelves." She spat, staring at them. Pathetic creatures. She continued on down the hall and looked in on her husband who was looking over some paperwork. "Kenzie darling, I wonder may I have a moment of your time?" She asked as she stood by the door, her eyes cold but kind. The man stood and turned to lay eyes on his wife. She was the head of the family, they had married for buisness and nothing else initially, though eventually they had fallen in love and the rest was history as they say. She nodded at him and pulled a letter out of her pocket. "Kumiko has asked for an audience with us. I have a small thought on what she may be here for, but I feel the need to ask you first. Richard will be here at noon and I need to have your answer on his arrival. Kumiko will be here soon after. Isla and Mere shall also be attending." She informed him as she handed him the letter. Mackenzie read it over before nodding and returning to his paperwork. Hailey nodded and left the room, she needed to set a few things in motion before the guests arrived. Stepping out of the house, Hailey apparated away with a small 'pop'.
'pop'. Hailey returned to the Manor about an hour later, she was covered with a dark cloak and wearing all black. She stepped into the house and headed to the owlery. Once there she wrote a letter and sent it away, waiting quietly for several minutes before turning and heading to the master bedroom. She was now able to get ready for her meeting with The Smith's, her son and of course that lovely japanese representative Miss Kumiko Hitachiin. She had met the youngster only once in her reign as Matriarch, that started with her mothers passing twenty years ago. She was sure Richard had still been in the family at the time. Of course it was not long after this meeting that he had left to marry that filthy Muggle. Though what was even worse than a muggle was a mudblood. She snorted at the thought of how close she was to having one of those in the family. What a Pathetic waste of space. Looking at her attire, Hailey nodded and continued into the Conference room. There she found the place to be in order, atleast as well as could be expected from her useless waste of elves. Why she even had them was beyond her. Free labour maybe? Sitting at the head of the meeting table, Hailey waited patiently for those invited to arrive. How this meeting was going to go was dependent entirely on the offering Kumiko had to give. She was definatley interested in this.
