It had been some time since Lizzie had arranged some sort of gathering. The Earl willingly acquiesced to her request. It was not every day that a member of the Phantomhive household arrived on the grounds. Carrying himself with poise and dignity, he awaited the arrival of his maid alongside the others.

And Maylene came into sight shortly, hands gripping her skirts and apron to keep them out of her way. Clumsy as she naturally was, running in her long skirts tended to exacerbate the problem- so to try and keep her embarrassment to a minimum, she did her best to keep them up as she skidded to a halt in front of them, dipping into an awkward, wobbling curtsy.

"I-I'm sorry it took so long..!" She finally looked up and saw the crowd of gathered people and squeaked, backpedaling a bit and nearly tripping backward over herself. "Oh! I'm-- I didn't realize... so many people would be here!"

Madam Red found that she could not deny a request from Elizabeth, and so, she left her office, busy as she was, to meet Maylene. It took her a couple of minutes to get down to the foyer, but eventually she arrived, fashionably late as per usual, and found that Maylene had just arrived.

Smiling, she stepped up from behind her and took her by the shoulder. "Just as cute as I remember, Maylene." Madam Red chuckled quietly, and stepped around the girl to greet both her niece and her nephew, --with hugs ♥.

Agni had taken great care in ensuring the entryway would be spotless for the latest Hogwart arrivals. The young Lady Middleford had intercepted him at some point insistent that they all should meet for an auspicious occasion. This had triggered mild confusion until the matter had been fully explained. It would be a welcome sight so see another old friend.

Absentmindedly, Agni pondered where his Master was now, he should have tagged along. Lost in his own thoughts he'd almost missed Maylene's entrance. Smiling broadly he nodded at her. For now he'd keep to the background like a proper servant.

Lizzie just smiled as Maylene stammered out her words. "Oh but I wanted you to see everyone, Maylene. It's so wonderful to have you here~!"

When Madame Red gave Ciel and her a hug, she hugged her back. It was always lovely to see her auntie. She had to tell her of the party she was going to throw after all this.

After letting go of the hug Lizzie moved to Maylene's side. "It's much better to be welcomed by friends then this old door." she nodded at the door before looking over to Ciel. "Right?"

alwaysinmysight April 22 2010, 04:43:51 UTC

"I-I'm very grateful, really but-- you didn't need to go to so much trouble for my sake, Lady Elizabeth...!"

And she did appreciate the gesture, truly she did- but she knew her place, and this... this was definitely far from it. She'd likely get quite the lecture later on about the proper behavior of a servant. Still, it was nice to see everyone- and Madame Red's presence was as bolstering as ever- as was Agni's, though in a considerably less obvious manner. She curtsied again, and then turned to Ciel, offering a nervous smile.

"It is very good to see you again, Young Master. My apologies that it took me so long to arrive."

Ciel grimaced when Madam Red came over for a hug of all things. It wouldn't do to cause a scene, so he allowed it. She was afterall still family. Mysterous revival or not . Besides he couldn't fume about the deception forever....

He offered Lizzie a curt nod to her question before addressing Maylene.

"Think nothing of it. I trust you had a safe an uneventful journey?" He added a faint trace of a smile for good measure. He had wanted to inquire about the state of the manor, the servants that had been left behind were not the most fastidious or capable. The manor was probably in shambles, ah well he'd leave that matter for Sebastian to inquire upon.

It was on these such occasions that Madam Red knew that she could get away with kissing&hugging her nephew, and so, .. she promptly took advantage of this rare opportunity. Sliding an arm 'round Ciel, Madam Red jerked him close.

"Come now, Maylene. Don't be modest --!" Madam Red chuckled, waving her hand dismissively at the flustered servant. "Stop that. Don't apologize! We're just happy that you could make it."

Letting go of Ciel, Madam Red sauntered down the nearest Hall, motioning for the others to follow. "Let's move someplace a bit more private, alright. No need to make this little reunion anybodys' business but our own, .. &besides, it's a bit chilly by this door."

It was refreshing to see all this fuss being made over a fellow servant. Maylene certainly deserved all the attention after receiving her new appointment at Hogwarts.

Trying to make himself useful, he opened any doors that lay in the groups path, and would manage to whip up plenty of refreshments if there should be needed.

timefordressup April 23 2010, 20:44:21 UTC

Lizzie followed after Madame Red, making sure to take Ciel's hand so he was close behind her. "I want to hear how everyone is doing. Are they still wearing the outfits I brought them the last time I visited?" She smiles at Maylene then. "You must see the entire school~ It's such fun to find new places!"

alwaysinmysight April 25 2010, 00:06:02 UTC

"Y-yes Madam...!"

Immediately, she straightened up again, though her hands stayed fisted in her skirts as she followed the rest of them indoors, briefly caught off-guard by Lady Elizabeth's question.

"Oh... well, while I'm sure they would be, Miss Elizabeth, it would be a shame to ruin such lovely gifts in the process of taking care of the daily chores..." Which held true enough for Finnian, all things consideredd, but for Bard... well Maylene could never be sure. "And I would hate to keep you from anything Lady Elizabeth- after all, don't classes begin soon..?" Nott that she wouldn't enjoy a tour, but she would hate to be responsible for either her or the Young Master being late to a class. She flashed a slight at Agni then, glad to see the other servant there as well- he had always been very kind, and Maylene was quite fond of him in the same way she was fond of the other Phantomhive servants.

The young Earl was prepared to follow after his aunt when Lizzie took hold of his hand. He really shouldn't have been surprised, but he was growing weary of all the physical contact. It was however a relief when Lizzie began to dominate the conversation with all her excited questioning and banter.

A smirk crossed his face when Maylene fielded the question about the servants outfits. She handled it quite well, her response was concise and tactful. As to be expected of a Phantomhive servant.

crimsondeviant April 27 2010, 18:48:31 UTC

Smiling, only slightly, Madam Red noted that the Phantomhive Family was, once again, coming together. She took a deep breath, and averting her stare, Madam Red lead them to a private lounge on the east end of Hogwarts. Upon reaching the door, Madam Red fell back, allowing the others to pass so that she may speak to tall- dark- &handsome. Cough.

"Would you mind making some tea, and maybe a small array of snacks, ..? It appears that in all the excitement Lady Elizabeth didn't think this little reuinion all the way through." Chuckling quietly, she looked over her shoulder to the three of them.

Bowing deeply, Agni addressed Madam Red, "Jo Ajha, Certainly". He politely excused himself before adjourning to the kitchens. He'd return shortly with plenty of goodies and tea for everyone.

Agni wondered what Miss Maylene would specifically prefer. In his haste he'd forgotten to make the proper inquiries. With a nod, it was decided that he'd just have to include plenty of sweets whose recipes originated in the United Kingdom. Surely, one of them would be to her liking. It was so refreshing to be useful~

Lizzie sat down gingerly. It was so nice to have so many familiar faces around. Not that she didn't like her friends, but she longed for to be called Lady again and be treated as she should, at lest for a moment. Some of the teachers were so hard on her. she showed them with her good grades, but it was nice for this time to not think about those things.

"Well no, of course they can't wear them while working. How smart of them to make sure they are kept nice."

Lizzie blushed as her auntie pointed out her mistake, the idea of showing Maylene around the castle forgotten for the moment. "Oh dear. I did forget that, didn't I?" She was grateful when Agni came back with the tea. Now everything was right and they could have a lovely talk. "I can't wait for classes to start again. I have all my homework to turn in."
