Nevermore Tasks 007

[hisbutler_bound]

Good morning, Astringendum, [It's early in the morning, around seven-thirty a.m. Sebastian's already up, even though he never went to sleep.]

Mister Alphonse Elric, I trust you fare well. Are preparations in order? I am inclined to offer any help I can to set up your upcoming party.

Finnian! I do hope you aren't sleeping in. Duties began an hour ago. Please be careful, but I am asking you to set the dinning table for breakfast. I will join you shortly after rousing our young lord.

[She is visibly intrigued. This man looks - civil, for lack of a better word.]

You seem admirably able to keep a routine in such a chaotic place, fro.

[hisbutler_bound]

It is the duty of a butler, Miss. Butlers are there to establish order within a household, regardless of the changes in his lords life.

Besides, what kind of butler of the Phantomhive estate would I be, if I could not handle this simple task?

[safe-in-silver.livejournal.com]

Well said. You are a credit to your profession. Who is this fortunate gentleman, who has you at his side?

[hisbutler_bound]

Then perhaps the young lady would grace me with her name? My master is the head of the house hold, Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

Oh - my apologies, I forget my manners. The transition has been quite confounding... I am Amika Stattenholme. The Duchess Stattenholme, in my own country.

[hisbutler_bound]

Duchess? Oh where are my manners?

[He bows down in respect, smiling lightly] It is a pleasure to meet you, Duchess Stattenholme, your highness.

I assure you, you are beyond reproach. It is surprising, and certainly encouraging, to find a gentleman's estate functioning in such a setting. Is the Earl Phantomhive a native of this - this world?

[hisbutler_bound]

He is not, but as his butler I will do my absolute finest so that such a noble remains perfectly comfortable.

[safe-in-silver.livejournal.com]

As is only proper. Do pardon my prying, but I wonder also if the Earl has lain claim to any land or territory?

[hisbutler_bound]

He has, both in his world and this one. My young lord has establish the Funtom Company. A very popular toy making one, and also a bartering of sweets.

But here, he has managed to lay claim to a small house.

[safe-in-silver.livejournal.com]

A small house need hardly be a small beginning, when such anarchy abounds otherwise, and the common folk cry out for guidance.

[hisbutler_bound]

A brave assumption, m'lady, but if I'm not so rude as to say, not may cry for guidance at all, but merely to escape.
