Luminous memories: Vial 11

You walked out the carriage,  entering the garden of your mansion with Mary-Anne. You'd enjoyed your time with Ciel immensely,  but you had to admit,  it was nice to be home after all that time.

"Young mistress," A familiar, cheerful voice rang out. "Welcome home!"

You turned to see a brunette smiling brightly in your direction, the herbs she was collecting in hand.

"Thank you,  Hazel." you couldn't help but smile back- your gardener was just that kind of person. Her smiles and cheerfulness were infectious and she was able to cheer up everyone in the mansion during hard times

After praising her skill of maintaining the garden while you were gone,  you continued on your way.

You heard a feminine voice criticizing someone when you'd entered the mansion. Following the sound,  you saw Ida chastising Leo who was standing shame-facedly, covered head to toe in what appeared to be flour.

"Gentleness is important for a chef,  you know," Ida spoke with her usual businesslike way- the kind of tone that could only be spoken by a person with long experience in their particular field. "Cooking is a delicate art that requires skill and precision,  not brute strength."

"Yes,  Ma'am."

Ida turned around when Leo had left the room,  probably to clean the mess he had put the kitchen in.

"Welcome back young mistress."

"Thank you,  Ida." you spoke affectionately to the head maid. Ida was the member of staff who had  been with your family for the longest; she was like a grandmother to you.

She was the one that organised things around the mansion- the job mainly included cleaning up the messes in the kitchen.

Leo was extremely hard-working and cooked very well,  however,  he was stronger than he was good at cooking- some may even say he was too strong to be a chef. Many of his mistakes occurred because he underestimated his strength,  sometimes casually throwing around flour bags or  holding eggs so hard they broke.
