You're a butler/maid drone at the Elliott manor. And you're serving at the Gala! Obviously you're trying to live up to Tessa's parents expectations. Which are annoyingly. high. Which means that you can't get distracted.

As you were putting something in it's place, one of the guests was bothering you. Obviously trying to rile you up. However, you knew better than to give someone like that your attention, so you just ignored them since they weren't asking for any service. And then he decided to startle you by using something called a "drone whistle" which was like a dog whistle but only drones could hear the frequency since they were much more advanced. This caused you to drop the glass you were holding and cover your ears (audio receptors) until it stopped.

Once it stopped, you grunted irritatedly but continued ignoring the guest. Setting to clean up the glass and dispose of it, bringing back an extra replacement glass and putting it in it's spot.

Clearly, the guest got irritated. Typical Elliott guest. This caused him to decide to yell at you (since humans don't actually treat drones like they have emotion or anything along those lines.). Of course, you're used to guests like this, but it still made you feel a bit uncomfortable since your audio receptors were sensitive to sound.

This caused Tessa to shoo the man away a little aggressively and come to your side.

You just gave a sigh and a small "thanks.."

Tessa smiled softly at you and pet your head. Not that you could see the smile, being that your optical sensors, along with the rest of the drones, could only see humans as black silhouettes with white eyes. But, it made you feel better.

You looked around, nobody was paying attention. So, you hugged her. If only for a few moments before you got back to work.

You can't help but wonder where Cyn and N are. Oh well, N's probably keeping Cyn company down in the basement as normal.

You worked for a moment before noticing Tessa assisting you. How kind of her. No wonder she's your favourite human! Your.. safe space. Yeah. You feel safe with her! Maybe because she's nicer than her parents..
