Rosefica was once a commoner, so she is more keen on these skills.
I have heard of this obsessive compulsion to clean repeatedly, though I doubt you have anything to worry about. By my understanding, Arachne just like to have clean "webs."

Lucius is better than I am at living in dismal surroundings, which is why I've started to pick up when absolutely necessary. Both of us had servants for that kind of thing before.
If you had told me I'd be cleaning a home just a few months ago, I likely would have laughed in your face.

My Dad liked to think he was capable of taking care of things too. He was okay I preferred going to my Mom for things like that. He was more of the parent who would recommend a good book or show.

We'll see how I actually react.

Seriously? That's pretty bad. Some stuff needs to be cleaned a specific way or you risk destroying it. Please tell me he knows how to get his clothes cleaned? Buying more when what you have gets stained doesn't count. It's just super wasteful to do that.

Lucius doesn't even know how to properly dress himself. I have watched him pick up random clothing from the ground and just put it on, regardless of how garish or tacky the combination is.
It is actually hard not to get angry at the sight, but when I try to dress him, he ends up peeling himself out of half the layers!

Regardless, I have been good at outsourcing some of the cleaning, such as taking our clothes to the drycleaners. I am not sure what else I can hire out for. Perhaps some human maid service, but I don't trust Lucius not to torment them while they work.

Offer them hazard pay?

No, seriously. Offer the cleaner extra in tips or whatever should Lucius torment them. They are there to clean not be his entertainment and deserve compensation for dealing with things outside their normal duties.

Also offer to make sure they are safe while in your employ. Don't let other monsters eat them, that'd be tacky.


I have nothing to say on someone more than ten years my senior who can't dress themselves. That's all on him. He's an adult.

Luckily Djavulenstad has a very strick "no killing" policy within its city limits. Lucius has been rather well behaved about that rule, despite loathing it.
Perhaps I will look into it, though... I really have no clue how to go about cleaning and while I've managed so far, having a job and then coming home to clean is not my definition of fun.

As for the dressing, I don't think he's worn anything outside of armor for more than ten millennia, so I don't really blame him.
He's compliant enough until the clothing becomes restrictive. It seems I am the only one who appreciates the snug fit of a well tailored suit.
