You had just finished serving the table with the servants watching you intently as you did so since you had yelled at them that if they even thought about moving to help, they would only succeed in destroying the entire room only a few minutes earlier.
You turned as Ciel and Sebastian entered the room. "Good morning, young master. Breakfast is served." You greeted while gesturing to the table, already set with food.
Ciel hummed in response as he moved over to his seat. Sebastian pulled out his chair for him as you suddenly heard a noise coming from the hall, or more specifically, a scream.
"Nooooooooooooooo! Oh dear, oh dear oh dear. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
"What?" The servants pondered as they looked at the double doors, seconds later the doors flew open, revealing Grell lying on a cart, coming straight towards Finny who yelled and closed his eyes, waiting for impact.
After a few seconds of nothing happening, he opened his eyes to see you standing in front of him, with one hand on the cart and one hand holding Grell by the collar.
You set him down on the floor and turned to him. "Grell, due try to be more careful, you could have injured the young master."
"Oh, my, I am ashamed of my-" He didn't finish as he accidentally knocked the tea off the table and onto Finny's shirt.
"Ah! Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!" He yelled as he danced around the room.
Grell gasped. "Oh! I'm so, so sorry! I'll wipe it off!" He said as he grabbed the napkin on the table, only to completely bring down the entire table cloth, along with the breakfast Ciel had started to eat.
You all looked at him as he quickly stood up. "Ah! Ah!" He yelled.
Ciel sighed as Bard went over to him. "Master, why did you agree to take in such a useless idjit?" He whispered.
"You're one to talk, Bard." Ciel replied before sighing again. "It didn't seem like such a bad idea..."
"Oh, Ciel darling, I have a problem. Grell is hopelessly incompetent. Could you do me a tiny favor and have Sebastian train him to be a decent butler?" Madam Red sweetly asked Ciel with a smile. "Can't refuse your favorite aunt, can you?" She said as she blew him a kiss.
Ciel heavily sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I thought Sebastian would be the only one inconvenienced. I never expected that I would be affected by it as well..."
"Ho ho ho." Tanaka laughed in the background.
The servants all murderously glared at Grell, who was kneeling on the floor. "I'm so sorry for causing all this trouble...I simply don't know how I can apologize enough."
"Wait, that's it!" He suddenly perked up. "The only thing I can do now is die! I shall atone with my death!" He exclaimed as he suddenly pulled out a dagger from out of nowhere and angled it to his neck.
"Whoa, calm down a second!" Bard yelled.
"Um, should we take the knife away?" Mey-Rin asked just as Sebastian came up and placed a hand on Grell's shoulder.
"There is no need for that." He said, before removing his hand as Grell turned around and looked at him.
"Just think of the horrible mess you would make." Sebastian said with a smile.
"Yes, it would take hours to clean up all of the blood." You added out of annoyance.
"Thank you Sebastian, you're so very kind..." Grell beamed up at Sebastian.
"That was Kindness?" Bard asked Finny and Mey-Rin, who shook their heads.
"Now what I'd like to know is how you could ever think it was acceptable to serve the master such weak tea." Sebastian said as he examined the pot of tea Grell had.
