Video † The butler, educating

[thebutler_epic]

Good afternoon.

[Sebastian smiled, his starched white sleeves rolled up to his elbow. He's standing inside the tidy kitchen in the mansion, apparently preparing tea. The tea service is ready to be sent out, but directly in front of the view of the Dreamberry there is a stack of apples. Sebastian gestures to these]

Firstly, I would like to properly

Comments

[suppressedtime]

Oh... is that how it's done? Why, thank you for the very capable demonstration, sir.

I applaud you and your house- they are quite lucky to have such a considerate servant as yourself.

[thebutler_epic]

[Bows to the screen]

I am humbled by your praise, Madame.

[suppressedtime]

And your manners are impeccable.

I beg your pardon for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Sharon Rainsworth- and dare I say I've seen you before? I believe I had spoken with your master once before concerning you.

Though he did leave again afterwards... I presume he has returned?

[thebutler_epic]

Indeed, you are correct. He recently settled back into the Phantomhive mansion, as well as his fiancee, newly arrived. Lady Elizabeth Middleford.

[suppressedtime]

Oh! I'd had no idea that he was engaged. How wonderful for them.

Well, I do understand that Somarium may be hard to navigate at times, even when an entirely capable servant is at the ready. May I take this moment to extend an offer of assistance whenever the need may arise?

[thebutler_epic]

[Chuckle]

But madame, is that not my line?

[suppressedtime]

[She laughs a bit.]

I'd like to think that not all work should be left to the servants. Should the master or mistress not at least handle negotiations?

[thebutler_epic]

Ah, there I concede. I would not hope to advise my young Master. I merely follow his orders to the letter.

But allow me to extend the same invitation, if ever I may be of service.

[suppressedtime]

If that is truly the case, then I am certain he appreciates the work. Oh, how I wish my own attendant could be so capable.

It is noted and quite appreciated, Sebastian. I suppose that as however tasking it may be to deal with him at times, the attendent that I mentioned - Xerxes Break, he's known as - has a habit of hearing interesting things due to his inability to remain still. A blessing and a curse and... he does have his shining moments of competence occasionally. If I am unavailable, know that he shall be of service to you and your master.

[thebutler_epic]

You are too kind. [Bows in acknowledgment and thanks]

Perhaps you will call on my young Master and his fiancee one afternoon for tea? You and your attendant you would be most welcome. It would be my pleasure to serve you.

[suppressedtime]

Oh my, that certainly does sound like a simply splendid idea. I hope you would not mind if I were to take that suggestion and implement it as soon as possible.

I will have to speak with your master and his fiancee- I thoroughly look forward to meeting them. [a bit of a soft giggle] Or perhaps meeting again, I should say.

[thebutler_epic]

Quite so. [Smile]

I will message him of your intention to call.
