~Chapter 5

Ciel had slept through lunch, but Sebastian's preparations were not wasted. He decided to serve the lunch he had made, Beef stew with dried cranberries and a french baguette, to the servants. Mace decided to join Finny, Bard, and Mey-rin, since she didn't have plans with Ciel. Most of their discussion related to Mace, and her past jobs. She had to lie, for she's never had a job before. She said she has worked for many master's before, stating each by name, for which she made up, and where in the country they lived. One question, asked by Bard, had come as no more than expected:

"Hey, I've meant to ask you this since we'd first seen you. Why do you have a tattoo on your neck of a star? And why on the vein? I'd think you'd bleed from a tattoo so near a major artery."

Mey-rin cut him off, " Baldroy! Never ask a woman about personal choices based on beauty, it is extremely rude and inappropriate!" Her nose had started to bleed.

"Oh no Mey-rin! It's all right. I don't mind telling" She smiled wide, all a part of the act, and began again, "I got this tattoo in America. I was raised in an orphanage until I moved to the East end. They put this mark on all the girls, so if ever one was lost, they would send an advertisement in the local paper, the girl would be returned shortly." With every person she met, they asked the same question. So, she had a ready reply to it if it ever popped up again.

"Well that makes sense." Finny replied, tilting his head slightly. His smile was so charming. Completely befitting a young boy.

"Now I have a question" Mace said, in a rush. She really needed an answer. "If the young lord's house was burnt down, why is it in such a magnificent state now? Who rebuilt it?"

Bard answered, "Well, the only one who would know is Tanaka, but we can't get him to speak in English words for more than twenty seconds. Being real Tanaka tires him out. But, the rumor is" Bard looks around, "Sebastian rebuilt it. They say you can't rebuild Rome in a day, but Sebastian did. He sent Ciel to spend the Day with Elizabeth, his fiancée, and when he returned that night, the mansion was rebuilt. Every crack in the pillars, every spiderweb, every torn seam in the couches and all the decor was exactly as it was when the estate burned down. Most men in their right minds wouldn't believe it, but for some reason I do. His butler is an able man."

"Bard, don't tell her such ill-minded stories. We all know Sebastian couldn't have built it up in a day, no matter if he is 'one hell of a butler'", Mey-rin argued.

"Oh no. I believe it!" And she did. Mace had observed Sebastian for a day now and the picture of him rebuilding a house in a day, it seemed like any other ordinary task Sebastian would manage. She couldn't see any reason he wouldn't be able to.

"Hey, wait a second." Bard interrupted her thought process,"How did you know the estate was burnt down? It's not a common thing we servants, and especially not the master, like to bring up."

'What?- Damnit! What do I say?' Mace thought to herself. She didn't have a ready answer. She hadn't expected them to ask such a question. Word-soup came flying out of her mouth.

"Well, you see, it's ah- It's a popular topic d-down at the pub my friend worked at. Such a tragedy." Lies. All lies. Especially the part about her friend. She never had a friend. She never wanted one. She went down to the pub to get drinks, then walk home drunk, unable to walk in a straight line. It's a wonder she was never run over and killed. The only truth in that phrase she spoke was the word 'tragedy'.

"Mace, our young master should awaken soon, would you like to be the first face he sees?" Sebastian was smiling down at Mace, standing motionless behind her chair. A wave of shock went down Mace's spine, But to Sebastian's... saddened disappointment, she didn't show any recognition of it. He spoke again, "In such a fragile state as he is, I believe seeing a friendly face as soon as he wakes would bring him some well deserved peace." he displayed a sad smile, no, an understanding smile, yet his eyes were clouded.

"I am truly humbled, Sebastian, that you would recommend that to me. It would be an honor." She stood and bowed to him, looking into his eyes, which were directed at her feet, as she straightened up again. A small, sad frown formed on her lips as she saw moisture welling in his eyes. She had to find out what was the matter.

"Will you accompany me Sebastian?" Sebastian looked up at her, a single tear falling on his cheek. He went to wipe it away, but faster than anybody could see, Mace had caught his hand and wiped it away herself. He looked into her eyes, smiled meekly and said to her, "It would be an honor."

As Sebastian stepped away to prepare some tea for Ciel, Earl Grey, Mace heard the servants speaking in hushed tones. "You see... so fast...demonic speed...loving...tear?...she caught...hand...so...sweet"

What the servants said made her smile, yet, she didn't know why. A warm feeling surrounded her body making her feel safe. She closed her eyes and savored the protective barrier around her. A hand fell on her shoulder and she opened her eyes.

"Come Mace, the master should be up soon."

She smiled at Sebastian, the servants, and walked out of the kitchen, finally feeling at home.
