Reader's P.O.V.
(Time skip to early morning cuz yall went to see a play and then y'all went to sleep cuz we iz tired peeps  cx)

The slight scent of flowers came from Alois' room. I had woken up very early before the sun peeked over the horizon, so my wandering mind brought me down the hall. I had a small candlestick and lit it, with the candle wax rolling down my hand, which didn't really bother me. I would be leaving soon this morning, so I decided to do my snooping now. I bumped into something or rather, a group of "things".

"Lady Rose Jessi, we are very sorry for this, but Alois insisted on our keeping you safe." Canterbury said.

"Did he? We'll just see about that..." and I walked right past Timber and Thompson, straight to Alois' room. I knocked three times, until Timber grabbed my left hand to stop me.

"You shouldn't my'lady, it's bad to disturb him. He might be having one of those dreams again. He might convulse." Thompson chimed. They began to whisper among themselves, which left me pissed off, but I couldn't show it.

"Yes? What exactly do you four need?" Alois asked, rubbing his eyes, obviously half asleep.

"Oh I just wanted to see you..." trying to make an excuse for this.

"Oh well, just come in. Canterbury, Timber, Thompson, get Hannah." Alois said to the three, then had me sit down on a big, cozy chair, as he did the same to the one across from me. Hannah stepped in with cinnamon tea and apple slices for us, while she sat on a stiff chair, knitting something.

"Do you know it's nearly time for the roosters to crow?" Alois said chuckling.

"Well yes but, I'm leaving in a few hours, around noon, so I wanted to see you." I said, sounding as loving as I could be.

"You sound like a little boy, the only one I- oh never mind that. How is your tea and apples?" He asked.

"It's very nice, very simple, so wonderful." I said, focusing on my cinnamon stick. Just then, Alois had tossed his apples and tea at Hannah.

"I don't care for it much." he seemed bored, and I thought I needed to say something close to an apology to her.

"Hannah, thank you for this, but could you please send Claude in?" I said, not realizing what time it was. The sun was peeking through the window, letting me know it was morning, almost time for me to leave. She went out, covered in apple mush and warm liquids. We then heard a knock at the door, but someone barged in before we could determine an answer.

"Hello there. Come along, your things are ready." A steady and monotone voice came from behind me. "Ciel! I've missed you so!" I could practically do as her. I felt like jumping onto him like Elizabeth does, but I knew that kind of thing was reserved for her anyways.. He loves her, right? Right? Right..

"She can leave right after you kiss my ass!" Alois said getting closer to Ciel, pulling out a sword from a barrel. Ciel grabbed one too, and started poking at him.

"We can duel right here if thats what you're implying you worthless little sh-" Ciel was cut off by the butlers each grabbing their masters in order to prevent them from doing unnecessary fighting.

"My apologies, my master is a bit irritable in the morning." Claude said, putting the swords away.

"As is mine, my sincere apologies to you, Claude" Sebastian said with the fakest smile he could make. I only giggled as Alois proceeded to bid us farewell.

"Alrighty then, see you soon my dear! I hope you won't let Ciel choke on too much horse shit today! Olé!" He started to dance around with Claude and sang ~Ding dong, the witch is dead~ which only made me laugh more.

"You shouldn't subject a lady to such lewd language.." Ciel said, turning to Alois and cupping the blondes ears; I caught on to the insult rather quickly. It proved worthy of seeing my childish smile. Though, it didn't bother me today.

All five of us arrived back at the Phantomhive manor, and I went straight to my room, or so I thought, and started to sleep on the bed. I was about five minutes into the nap when Ciel threw his shoe at me.

"Get up sweets, Elizabeth is coming by in a-" Ciel was cut off by Elizabeth jumping onto him, then shooting me an evil glare. Then she started crying. What a little sh-

"Ciel why?! How could you!?" She stared hitting him, but her small fists did nothing, "You could have at least told me that you would have a concubine!"

Concubine? Sebastian came in to see about the commotion.

"Lady Elizabeth this is Lady Rose Jessi your cousin, if I may intervene. Of course I myself would prefer she'd be courted by Ciel, she's not." He reassured.

"Ro-os-se?" She said throwing herself onto me, "Oh I've missed you so!"

"Uh, so have I." I said sounding sincere.

"Did you know about the ball, Ciel?" She asked him, taking his hand in hers.

"Well of course, its a masquerade isn't it?" He asked.

"Yes it is.." I said already picking out my outfit in my head. A cat. Purrfect. ........
