an earl and a baker

a visit with the family

          I rolled the cart to his office and knocked on the door. After hearing a quiet 'come in' I opened the door.  I rolled the cart in, stopping in front of his desk. I placed the plate with the muffin on his desk before placing the tea.

          " I made chocolate and blueberry muffins and some earl grey tea " I tell him as he looks down at what I placed on his desk. I hesitate for a second before finally mustering up the courage to ask. "will you tell me your story?". he looks at me confused for a second before answering "what do you mean my story?"

           I look him in the eyes before responding " I want to know about you. How about for starters how you got a demon butler?". he looks at me shocked "h-how did you know that?" he says and stands up. " I can see peoples auras and depending on what they are depends on there colour. like demons are shades of red, angels are shades from white to black depending on how tainted they are, Shinigami's are purple, while humans are blue." I reply looking up at him.

           ciel sits back down and sighs " my house was burned down when I was younger killing my parents, someone murdered them and I was kidnapped. I was used in a ritual that summoned a demon. the demon chose to ask me if I wanted to form a contract and I said yes. that demon is obviously Sebastian. ive been looking for my parents killers." he says looking back at me seriously.

          "if theres anything you need help with you could always ask me, like my uncle I know quite a lot about underground information." I say as I stand and bow "ill be taking my leave now." I say just loud enough for him to hear but he stops me "wait...whos your uncle?" he asks and I turn to him and respond "the undertaker" before leaving to go back to the kitchen.

          Sebastian was waiting for me there "did you get the answer you expected?" he ask and I shake my head. "not exactly but I did get an answer that interested me". Sebastian raises his eyebrow "it interested you?" he responds and I nod "i never thought I would meet someone who went through something almost as horrific as my own experiences." I reply before looking to him. "now where exactly are my quarters?"  I ask changing the subject before the butler could pry.

          he looks at me unsure with whether or not to continue with the previous conversation or answer the question. feeling it was not his place to ask questions he sighs and responds "ill show you to then right away." I nod as he leads the way going down many hallways before bumping into a man.

          the man had hair as white as mine with eyes like a snakes and what appears to be scales lining his skin in patches. I look at him curiously as his snakes hiss. "look at her Emily she doesn't look even the tad bit scared." Oscar hisses. Emily hisses right back "your right she actually looks interested.". I giggle at them going back and forth as I move a bit closer "your right I'm not scared and you do interest me, quite a lot actually. I've never met snakes as talkative as the two of you." I say as they all look at me in shock including Sebastian. "you understand them?" Sebastian asks and I smile. ''of course I do , how could I not I grew up around them since I was a baby. they were a sort of comfort." I say and smile more. "my family wasn't always around after all" I look down before quickly looking back up at snake. I put out my hand for him to shake. "I'm minzy, and you are?" I ask.

          his lip twitches before he takes my hand with some coaxing from Emily. "I'm snake" he says and I giggle "well that's kind of ironic" I say before dropping my hand. "its a pleasure" I bow lightly before Sebastian interrupts "we should really get going miss" he says and I sigh "if we have to" I say dramatically and chuckle after as Sebastian starts walking "see you around" I say to snake before bolting down the corridor. I catch up with Sebastian and he gives me a weird look "what?" I question before adding on "I've never had friends before....." I say before smiling again. "for someone who has never had friends you sure do smile a lot." he mumbles but I hear him perfectly clear. "I cant help it I've spent too much time around my uncle. crazy really does rub off" I chuckle loudly as he stops. "this is your room, your belongings are inside as well as some other items." he says as I walk in. " wow this big room is really mine?" I question shocked as he nods "yes it is, if you need anything just ring the bell, if that is all I wish you a good night miss tsubaki." "minzy" I say. "huh?" he replies. "just call me minzy, I don't really fancy my last name" I say and he nods. "good night...minzy" he shuts the door after lighting a near by candle.
