"Woah~ It's snow!" 

Outside of the phantomhive manor, in which the night before it had begun to snow; today, it had settled. The snow here in England is always on and off, with the last time it had snowed melting within the next several days. Of course, today was another one of those episodes of the winter's antics, it just happened to be thicker than the last.

The manor's servants were joyfully running around outside as the earl watched from his window, awaiting his butler to bring him today's list of things to do. Everyone was awake. Everyone but one lady, who despite normally being found awake as early as 6, is huddled in a mass of pillows that were neatly arranged the night prior, 

"My lady," A gentle nudge to her shoulder made the woman steadily rise, stretching out her arms as she sat there staring ahead of her for a few moments before the sound of her curtains being drawn back made her head turn to the butler responsible, "I thought you were quite a morning bird, despite being a night owl as well, I do wonder how you can manage on such little sleep"

"Hm," [Name] squinted her eyes, letting them adjust to the light as she looked out of the window, dragging her feet out of the warm duvet, she walked up next to the butler and glanced below at the servants messing in the snow, her eyes locking onto Finny who was jumping around before looking back into her room, it slowly dawned on her that from today, this was going to be her new home...well, from today until the earl gets bored, she supposes.

Although she does plan to visit her own butler, bring him along on some other cases and even stay over back at the shop at some point in the future, the guilt was still there for leaving him so suddenly. She looked over to see her clothes laid out for her, although her usual skirt was not among them, as she had sadly dirtied them last night with the cake...

"Sebastian," [Name] called out,

"Yes, my lady?" the black-haired butler responded,

She shook her head, "Please, none of the formalities when we're alone or even with people we know...It's the same thing I told Ash..." She sighed, sitting back on her bed "Speaking of which...you went to go fetch my stuff last night, how did it go? I hope he didn't cause you any trouble..." 

The butler looked at her for a moment before putting a hand on his chin and sat down on the chair next to her bed in quite a comfortable, careless manner, "Well, If I had, to be honest, I was expecting him to attack me the moment he sensed my presence since you weren't around...But he waited till I got to the door, acted quite calm, surprisingly..." the demon threw his hands to the side in a shrug, "When I told him the situation, he had a few moments of silence before collecting your items for me, from observation I suppose that is what mortals would call...sadness?"

"You do not experience sadness, Sebastian?" questioned the woman as she crossed her legs. The demon closed his eyes in thought,
"I have no soul, hence, nothing to feel such emotions as sadness with,"
