Sebastian and I approached the atrium (room when you first enter the manor) and saw four servants. Once we got to them we stopped, "Cynthia these are the other servants. This is Tanaka." "Ho Ho Ho"
A young blonde haired boy took a step forward, "Hello, I'm the gardener, Finnian. You can call me Finny. It's nice to meet ya miss."The klutzy maid from before stepped up. Hi mi'names Mey-Rin. I'm the maid you met the other day." A tall gruff looking man walked forwards, "And I'm the cook, Bardroy." (I forgot if it is Baldroy or Bardroy).
I spoke back to the other servants, "hi I'm the new maid, Cynthia. I also have cat ears and tail" I twitched my ears and showed my tail which was curled up under my tailcoat. Sebastian had said that the others can know that I have the cat ears and tail just not that I was a reaper and demon.
The chef looked at me and asked, "If you are a girl why would you wear a suit? Not that I mind really." Sebastian cut in, "Miss Silver does not like dresses and will look like a man. I will be cutting her hair short. No guests are to know of this. When we have guests we are to call her Cyn or Cynthus. Is this all right for your male name Cynthia?" The name sounded pretty cool. I could pull off being a man too, my voice was Pretty low for a girl. "It's a good name."Sebastian clapped his hands together, "Then it's settled you will mainly follow me around and help me serve the young master."
Why do I have to follow you around? Why can't I help the others? Why do you want to be around me, demon? Maybe he's sorry. I hmphed in irritation and put a "pleasant" smirk on my face, "Okay Sebastian, let's go cut my hair..."
Sebastian said to the other servants, "Please return to your duties. Tanaka, you just drink your tea"
Sebastian led me to a spacious bathroom with a chair at one end. He told me to sit and he pulled out an assortment of scissors and combs. I was turned away from the mirror so I could not see what he was doing.
(small time skip)
Sebastian said that he was almost done. My head felt around 5 pounds lighter. He showed me the mirror. My hair was now short, thick, and spiky so it would help hide my ears. "Thanks Sebastian." "Don't thank me yet Cyn I still have to have Miss Nina Hopkins come and tailor you some suits. Though be warned she is quite uni-" he was cut off by a yell that came from the garden.
We both ran to the garden. "WAAAAHHHH! I'm so sorry Sebastian. I was going to put water the roses, but I used weed killer instead and killed the roses!" "Finny what have I said before. Be careful." Before you could have said "yes my lord" the dead bushes were gone. Finny just stood there confused. Sebastian turned and started to walk away from the young boy. I quickly followed suit.
We made it around halfway back before we heard a loud explosion from the kitchen. Sebastian growled, then ran to the kitchen. "Bardroy! What have I said about using flame throwers to cook." Sebastian took the flamethrower from Bard's hand. " I know, I know. I just thought it would work this time." "Please just clean this up" he gestured to the blackened room and then to him. Bardroy was covered in a thick layer of black ash. The "food" looked just like a burnt husk. What was it even supposed be?
I turned to leave but bumped into Mey-Rin. Cups and plates came toppling over and were going to land on me, but Sebastian caught all of the dishes and stopped me from hitting the floor. "Sorry Mey-Rin I should watch where I'm going." She replied,"It's okay, we all make make mistakes... You look incredibly different Miss Silver. You look like a handsome man, yes you do!" I blushed at the compliment, "Why thank you Mey-Rin, but I must insist please do call me Cyn or Cynthia. Except when we are in the presence of guests, call me Cynthus please." She nodded, "Okay mi... I mean Cyn." Sebastian cleared his throat getting our attention. "Cynthia we must be going back to the master's study and get an appointment with Mrs. Hopkins. Then we will prepare the master's lunch.
Sebastian and I walked to the young master's study. Sebastian knocked on the door. After a second there was a quietly spoken "come in." Sebastian walked in first with me trailing behind him. Ciel widened his eyes at the sight of me. "You truly look like a man Cynthia. I am guessing you came to me to seek permission to get a suit tailored for you. The suit you are currently wearing looks to large on you. You should also wear a tie it would look better, than a black bow. The black bow makes you look younger and looks ridiculous." Well he shares his opinions openly. Quite rude actually.
"All right master I thank you for your input on the outfit." Ciel made a call to Mrs. Hopkins for a suit to be tailored for me. There was a loud response from the phone that said she would be over quickly.
Ciel looked at me with a straight face, "Mrs. Hopkins like to tailor outfits for boys under fifteen and girls. She once groped Mey-Rin's breasts and is quite enthusiastic about her work. Mrs. Hopkins can provide outfits quickly though." I looked at him for a second with a surprised look.
(Time skip... After lunch.)
There was a knock on the door. Sebastian opened it and looked less than amused. Mrs. Hopkins practically jumped through the door and enthusiastically asked, "Who am I making clothes for Mr. Stiff? Does Ciel need more clothes? I just love to work with his body. His sizes are perfect." No you are going to be making a suit for this woman" he gestured towards me. She gasped, "A mens suit for a such a beautiful and charming lady? What happened to your hair and why would you want to wear a suit?" I nodded, "Yes Miss. I have always hated dresses. So I would like to wear a suit." There is something better that that if you don't like dresses." She pulled off her dress skirt revealing thigh high boots and shorts. Nina exclaimed, "my special designed outfits for women will be the next fashion!"
I told her somewhat quietly, but still confident, "Miss Hopkins a suit that hides my breast and does not show I am a girl is all I need. So may we go take my measurements please?" she seemed surprised by my response, but then nodded, took my wrist and brought me to a common room.
She closed the door and almost immediately stripped me all my clothing except my panties and bra (I know bras weren't around during the Victorian era, but just pretend okay?) I blushed a deep shade of red. "Please be quick Miss Hopkins. I do not like to be exposed like this." She just went about her measurements saying how I was muscularly built and had the fairest skin.
After a few minutes of this she was done and I could put my suit back on. Once my suit was back on, she shooed me out of the room and said she would be done by tomorrow. Sebastian and Ciel were at the other side of the door waiting expectantly. " She will be done by tomorrow." They both nodded and I walked down the hall alone for a little alone time.
While walking I heard a familiar voice, "OH BASSSYYY!!"
I won't who it could be... This chapter was written on an iPad in Tennessee. I am currently on vacation until August 10th then I have surgery on August 11h. I will be out for like the next week. Sorry. Nya!
