Time goes by so fast
when you're having fun
especially when
you're around friends
Sometimes you wish it
Never end

Everyone became so secretive ever since they arrived back at the Phantomhive Manor. Ciel became more distant and ignores everyone. Sebastian is quieter but he does make small talk. The Trio is the oddest bunch of the Manor. They didn't make any messes nor destructions. Mey-Rin polished the dishware, making sure no plates and teacups get shattered or dirty. Finny was able to get flowers and trees blooming, the trees are trimmed to their desired shape and the flowers were healthy and hydrated. Bard didn't even use his flamethrower in the kitchen, every meal he makes is at the correct temperature and the right amount of seasoning.

Pluto and Étoile were outside sitting on the soft grass and patches of small flowers, letting the cold breeze blows against them
"What's with everyone" Étoile said as fell backward "Did something happen when we left?" She closes her eyes and thinks. Ciel is annoyed by Soma who wanted stay with him so Ciel came up with an idea to have Soma stay at the townhouse and guard it. The trio and Sebastian seems fine
"It going to annoy me more if I keep thinking about it... So what do you think Pluto?" Étoile grins and glances over to see a sleeping Pluto "Were you asleep the whole time?!" She sighs and pulls herself up.

She dusts off any blades of grass or dirt off her dress 'I guess I can find something fun to do' She stretches her arms out before heading out to the courtyard. She walks on the stone path along with rows of flowering hedges. She admires the tiny vibrant flowers and runs her hands through the leaves, Étoile then spotted Finny who peers down at a withered bush with shears in his hands. She grins

It was obvious that she will do something mischievous

She sneaks behind him and peers over his arm to see the withered bush with tiny dying flowers. Étoile tap Finny's arm and made him flinch somehow. She chuckles at his reaction "It's a shame to see them dying. They're all so pretty" Étoile touch the hedge to have a couple of leaves fall to the ground. She spotted a small yellow bud growing "I have a question. What is your favorite flower?"

Finny thinks for a second and grins
"Sunflowers! They're so tall and pretty!"
Étoile smiled
"I think sunflowers match your personality so well. You're so bright and vibrant. Full of happiness and positivity. I have never seen you sad or upset... You are always happy and I admire that--" Étoile became quiet when Finny stare at her

"Did... I say too much?" She was uncertain about his response but he just simply shakes his head. Étoile sighs in relief "Can you do the young master!" Finny smiled and is eager for Étoile's answer

"Well, his favorite flower is the sterling rose. The name itself sounds noble enough... Let's see... He's adored and admired by others. Very sophisticated and extremely loyal to Her Majesty. Despite his cruelty and coldness... He's very sweet and kind once you get to know him" Finny rubs his chin, questioning Étoile's response
