#butlerbourne

         The chilled breeze greeted her skin in the crisp winter morning, snowflakes saying hello by clinging to her light hair. The thick blanket of snow covered the earth perfectly, save for where Corrin and her butler disturbed the landscape with their foot prints.

❝Well, well, well. What do we have here?❞

Inverse mused as her slim fingers picked up a finger food off the tray the butler was carrying. Huh, who knew sandwiches could be bit-size? Was the male off to bring Corrin a snack? How spoiled! Able to receive fine service in the middle of war! 

❝You take your duty as a servant SO seriously! It’s admirable. I do like the fiercely loyal types. Reminds me of myself, after all.❞

Was she mocking Jakob or complimenting him? One couldn’t tell. What was obvious is that her comments would be met with snark. The other has an attitude and a half, from what she observed. It’s always interesting to hold conversation with him. 

〔 ✦ 〕❝ JAKOB ? If you don’t mind me asking, could you teach me how to use daggers ? ❞

Upon arriving in Nohr, Anteze became vastly interested in the weapons they used. Tomes, daggers, shurikens, they were all so new and the strategist wanted to have a basic level of understanding of all of them. She carried around a tome as to not raise suspicion, but that’s besides the point. And if that meant having to deal with a less than friendly butler, than so be it.

The hero was in the kitchen once more, the owner of the castle was rather nice to him when he appeared in this foreign land, however it felt odd to him. He felt both out of place, but yet somewhere he belonged. Looking through all the food that was available for him to cook, the hero finally choose to make a salmon based food. 

❮ ❄ ❯ FELICIA knew she wasn’t Jakob’s favorite person, she probably wasn’t anyone’s favorite, but she didn’t know who else to go to. Not only was he the head butler, but he was so talented in everything he did. He was the epitome of a great butler and she wasn’t. If those little twists and spins would make her a better maid, then she would try until she couldn’t.

She was surprised that he agreed to help her though. Genuine surprise blossomed on her face, though she quickly let it fall at his apathetic glance. She certainly wouldn’t get it on the first lesson, but at least there was one ! Despite her resistance, a smile crawled onto her lips.

❝ Really ? Ah, thank you Jakob ! I promise I won’t let you down ! ❞
