Ciel watched as Sebastian washed the plates from lunch. Ralph was on the opposite side of the kitchen preparing for Dinner. Helen had finished her cleaning for the day, and Alfred had finished watering all the plants. There was nothing left for him to do.

He sighed and turned around, making his way to the library. He should really be watching over Lady Chitose, he knew. And the Library was right where she was, sitting with her back to him in the corner - painting on a large easel. He walked a little closer to get a better view, and then smiled. It was a beautiful painting of them and the Servants in a large field.

She turned around. "Oh, hello Ciel," she said with a smile.

"Hello," he replied, watching her. Well that was her main job, right?

*Woof* came from beside her feet. Chitose laughed and bent down, petting a dog out of Ciel's vision. A moment later it raised its head and moved to view from behind Chitose's feet.

And Ciel stared. It was a black Borzoi. Just like the one he'd owned - the one he had named Sebastian...the one who'd been killed...

"Ciel? Are you alright?" Chitose asked.

"I - I'm fine..." Ciel stuttered, regaining his composure as the Borzoi wagged it's tail.

*Woof*

"I think Sir Lawrence likes you," Chitose laughed.

Ciel hesitate before patting the dog on it's head. "He's very beautiful..." he murmured, then noticed the other dog laying in the corner, a Red Merle Australian Sheperd. "And who is that?"

"That's Sally. She's Shizuka's dog," Chitose answered. "Do you notice in the resemblance in how grumpy they are?"

Ciel smiled but didn't answer as he moved forward to look closer at the painting. Helen was serving tea to Shizuka, who was sitting in a chair. Ralph was holding a tray of what looked like Sugar Cookies. Alfred was trimming the roses. Chitose was playing with Sir Lawrence a few feet away, a smile on her face. And Master Evers was sitting next to a woman in the field, watching everything.

"Who is that woman?" Ciel asked.

Chitose's eyes saddened and she looked down. "That's my mother...she died six months ago..."

"...I'm sorry for your loss," Ciel mumbled, his cheeks redenning. He felt embarassed now for asking the question.

Then Chitose looked up at him again, a hurt smile on her lips. "Ciel, do you want me to...add you to the painting...playing with Sir Lawrence?" A small blush formed on her cheeks.

"Lady Chitose I couldn't possibly, this is a painting of your family," Ciel answered.

"Well aren't you family now?" she asked. "Besides, Sir Lawrence has taken a liking to you. And I can tell you like him too."

The black dog wagged its tail before standing onto it's hind legs and licking Ciel's cheek. Ciel laughed; the dog reminded him of a happier time...

He sighed. "Very well. If you must add me to the painting..."

Chitose smiled. "Thank you!" she cried, and turned back around to continue. A moment later, the door opened and Shizuka and Sebastian walked in. Immediatley Chitose picked up a white sheet and carefully draped it over the easel.

"What are you hiding?" Shizuka asked, her eyes cold.

"N - nothing! It's a surprise!" Chitose cried.

Shizuka stared for a moment. "...I don't like surprises," she mumbled, but sat down in a chair next to Sally. She bent down and pulled out a needle, red thread, and a white clothing t begin sewing.

Sebastian walked over and stood beside her, watching as she knit a rose design into the cloth.

"When are you going to finish that?" Chitose asked. "You've been working on it for a month."

Shizuka shrugged. "I'll finish it when I feel like it...ow!" she jumped, accidentally puncturing her finger with the needle.

"My Lady..." Sebastian said, lowering to one knee to look at the injury.

"Don't touch me, I told you before," Shizuka replied. She examined her finger, before licking off the red blood.

"Yes my Lady..." Sebastian replied and stood back up. He stared as she went back to her sewing once again. He glanced at the clock, it was only 5:30. Goodness, he wondered. Is it going to be like this everyday?

"Excuse me Lady Chitose, Lady Shizuka," said Helen, walking in. "Let me help you prepare for dinner."

"Ok Helen," Chitose said. She smiled and stood up from her seat. Shizuka only sighed and stood up reluctantly after replacing her needle and thread to it's basket.

Then Helen turned to Sebastian and Ciel. "Master Evers would like to speak with you two," she said. She bowed her head to them before ushering them out of the room.

"I wonder what the old man wants now...?" Ciel grumbled.

"Now young master, part of being a Servant is being able to hold one's tongue," Sebastian replied with a taunting smile as he opened the door to Mr. Evers office. "Yes sir?"

Evers smiled at them. "How are you enjoying yourselves here?" he asked.

"Enjoying..." Ciel scoffed under his breath.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh no, it was nothing," Ciel replied.

"No, no - do share," Evers insisted. But he had that look in his eyes, the same one frm lunch.

"I only feel as though that since we are Servants and Demons nonetheless - that we aren't entitled to much "enjoyment"," Ciel replied.

And Evers laughed loudly. The two Demons forced to serve him were so amusing. He quickly wiped the tears from his eyes.

"That reminds me of something I almost forgot to mention," he said. "Even though you are my Servants, I encourage you to express yourselves and your thoughts freely. If you have any questions, or any comments to share please feel free to do so."

"Very well then," Ciel responded. "That woman in the painting was your wife, right?"

"What?" Evers asked.

"Your daughter Chitose is painting a picture. There's a woman in it with blonde hair."

Evers eyes sadened. He laced his fingers together and began twiddling his thumbs. "Yes...she was my wife..."

"How did she die?" Ciel asked.

"Six months ago she contracted Scaret Fever," Evers answered. He stood frm his seat and turned his back to them, gazing out the window in reminisce. "It was awfully severe - I hired the best doctors in New York to help her, but...it was too late. Shizuka and her mother were very close, and she never left her mothers bed side. After the funeral Shizuka collapsed, and then we learned her mother had passed the fever to her. Fortunately, Shizuka came around but after her mothers death she's never been the same."

Evers finally turned back around. "Will you please go prepare the table?" he asked, obviosley wanting to be alone.

The two nodded and exited the room.

Maria, Evers thought, glancing over at a photo on his desk. What would you think of me now? A man fallen so far that he has two summon two Demons to his side?

"Here you are Miss," Sebastian said as he set Shizuka's plate down in front of her.

That night they would be having Roast Beef with Steemed Broccoli, Orange Wedges and a side of breadsticks.

Shizuka scrunched up her face at everything but the breadsticks. She leaned over and grabbed one from it's basket. "Who made this meal?"

"Sebastian and I did, Miss," Ralph replied.

Shizuka glared at him. "You know I hate red meat, steamed vegetables and Oranges."

"E - excuse me Miss, I seem to have forgotten," Ralph replied, a bit of sweat forming onto his forehead. "Would you like something else?"

"No," Shizuka answered, breaking another breadstick in half.

"Shizuka you can't live off breadsticks forever..." Chitose sighed.

"What would you like for dinner tomorrow night Shizuka?" Evers asked. She didn't answer.

"Miss Shizuka what would you like for tomorrow's meal?" Sebastian asked.

"Crab legs," she anwered.

"Very well then," Sebastian replied with a smile.

Evers sighed. "Excuse my daughter again."

"Shizuka's just a picky eater," Chitose added. "All she ever wants is the same old food."

"You be quiet ~"

"Hey now," Evers interrupted. "It's not lady like to argue." They both looked down and continued to eat.

He sighed. Perhaps two Daughters could be worse than two Demons, eh? He chuckeled at the thought.
