"Honestly, London these days is about as exciting as watching a cat fall asleep." Ciel Phantomhive scoffed in his cushy armchair. His butler Sebastian Michaelis smiled slightly at the thought of beautiful kittens bathing in the hot sunlight.
"It will be quite an uneventful day, My Lord, besides the new maid you requested paying us an interview." The raven haired butler carefully poured some pink-colored tea into a cup and served it to his master. After Bard cooking another turkey with a flame-thrower, Meirin breaking most of the silverware and Finny killing the entire garden, the head butler decided an extra maid wouldn't hurt. Besides, I havent seen her since...
Sebastian shook that train of thought away and glanced out the big window behind Ciel.
Standing on the yellowish entryway was a tall, slender lady, who wore a white and green maid's uniform. She held a straightened hand up to her eyes and was admiring the Manor.
That's just like her.
Sebastian smirked, excusing himself from Ciel and answering the door, after making his way through the many levels of the big estate.
"H-hello! My name is Delilah Taylor! I'm here to work as your new maid!" She exclaimed the moment Sebastian opened the door. Her eyes were a determined shade of blue, while her hair hung collar-bone length in wavy strands of reddish-brown. Sebastian took one look at her and welcomed her inside.
"This is the Phantomhive Manor, home to the Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his servants." Lined up outside the door was two blondes, a maid with large glasses and a short man drinking tea happily. "This is Meirin, a maid," The Black Butler addressed the pink-haired woman.
"She's especially clumsy with the silverware..." He muttered to Delilah, in a "You'll-take-care-of-it,right?" tone. "Here is Bardroy the chef and Finnian the gardener. Surely you'll help them about their daily chores? You'll be shown your sleeping quarters after a quick interview with the Young Master." Sebastian paced up the stairs, followed by the tall red-head. They headed towards the Young Master's study and knocked politely.
"I've brought the maid." The butler called through the door awkwardly. "Very well. Bring her in." His Master sighed, while Sebastian made his way in with Delilah.
Ciel Phantomhive seemingly stared into Delilah, inspecting her up and down from the comfort of his desk while raising his eyebrows occasionally.
"Name, age, birthdate and skills?" He challenged her, his one eye that wasn't patches smirked somehow.
"Delilah Taylor, 16, February third, special skills are baking, climbing, public speech, and taking care of my master." She recited, almost regretting putting a "sir" at the end, but smiling at him nonetheless.
Ciel rested his jaw in his palm, judging Delilah in his own mind and tapping an ink pen Agaisnt his desk.
"...Show her the servants sleeping quarters." He ordered, spinning around in his chair soon after, thereby dismissing them from his study.
London had a grossly humid feel to it's weather today, which troubled the girl harshly. She wore a black ankle length gown with dark green hidden on the outside sleeve ruffles, as well as many other places on it. Her parasol was black as well; the girl was quite fond of the color. Just a little ways away...
She strained to see the tip of the Phantomhive Manor in the darkness. The sun had set hours ago, and a lit oil lamp in her left hand was the only source of light for as long as she could see. Her feet, the road, and a metre in front of her was all that was lit.
Honestly, was it necessary for someone like me to walk all this way?
Her shoes started to make her feet ache, and although she wore a heavy dress and elbow-length gloves, she found herself chilly nonetheless.
Suddenly she came upon a forest; maybe a garden. Pink cherry blossom trees were silent in the dead of night, their petals dark pink and innocently quiet.
The girl rubbed her eyes, as she realized she was starting to get sleepy.
Surely it won't hurt to rest here for just a while...
