Sister of the watchdog, lover of the reaper

The kitten, intrigued

For Adela, the Jack the ripper case ended after visiting the Undertaker. Ciel had informed her that this case was becoming too dangerous to risk his own sister's life.

Adela waved them off, making sure they had definitely left the estate grounds before turning on her heel.

She beckoned to the servants, Finny, Bardroy and Mey-rin, speaking clearly "Alright everyone! Let's get to work!"

They all chimed in with a "YES MISS!"

Adela quickly walked towards her room, tying up her shoulder length hair into a high pony tail, much like the style of males with long hair. She soon reached her room, quickly throwing off her dress and crouching in front of the mahogany drawers. She slipped her hand under the gap between the drawers and the floor, pulling out a suit.

A butler's suit to be precise.

She paid close attention to ensuring everything looked pristine as she slipped on the clothing. As a butler, one must always look their best. As she slipped everything on, she quickly glanced at herself in the mirror. Adela mentally thanked herself for not applying makeup this morning.

She strode out of the room, despite her small size, she could certainly pull off pretending to be a male. As she approached the servants quarters, Mey-rin ran up to her.

"Miss-" She had started to speak before Adela pressed a finger to her lips.

"I am not a miss." Adela reminded the maid as she shifted a bit of loose hair behind her ear "When I am like this, I am merely Adam, the butler apprentice."

"Y-Yes, sorry for my mistake!" Mey-rin stuttered before continuing what she originally wanted to say "What do you wish for us to do?"

Adela stayed silent for a moment, in thought before quietly replying "Well I suppose we have no need to work on the garden, and we have no planned guests today so we don't have any dinner to prepare... I guess we'll just clean the house, I'm sure there's some rooms simply gathering dust."

"Yes! That sounds fantastic, yes it does!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several hours had passed and it had been extremely peaceful, Adela and the three servants had just been relaxing for half of these hours as they realised they had gotten the housework finished so quickly.

Adela had been reading a book in the drawing room when Finny burst in, almost knocking the door off it's hinges.

"Finny? What's wrong?" Adela asked quietly, putting her book down on the table.

"I-It's the young Lord and Sebastian... They're almost home, I've seen 'em coming through the gates!" Finny gasped, struggling to get his words out at first.

Damn. She had forgotten to keep an eye out for their return.

With a nod, Adela rushed up the stairs, the suit was surprisingly easy to run in. She quickly reached her room. She had to get the dress on, quickly.

She quickly removed the shirt and coat, kicking them under her drawers, she would fold them properly later. She kicked the shoes off and placed them under the bed. The trousers were soon shoved under the drawers along with the shirt and coat.

She quickly scurried back over to the bed to throw the dress on and lace it up. It was simple enough to do as it was a casual summer dress.

There was a knock on the door.

"My lady, could me and your brother speak to you for a minute?" It was Sebastian, from the tone of his voice, something was up. Her heart dropped, did they know? She was terrified of her secret being known to the two, as Ciel would most likely be outraged that her older sister cross dressed just to work with the servants. To her, it was fun if she was being honest about it. She saw the servants as equals and people that should be treated as well as Adela was.
