The scent of lilac and cherry filled the garden as he approached the young gardener. It didn’t come as a shock that the other was scared. The man was dressed oddly and looked really pale. Anyone with common sense would be scared too.
❝ Did i frighten you finnian? I just came to say hello. But yes im enjoying my stay here. ❞
There was a hint of curiosity in his voice as he spoke. Scanning the area once more he thought how lovely this garden was. The floral decorations clearly looked like they had a lot of work put into them.
He liked the servants, he had no reason to hate them. ’Ciel’ hired them for protection and serving. They kept up there word and he was ever so grateful for that.
❝ Tell me, do you like working here at the phantomhive manor? ❞
The bench he sat on was porcelain white, very clean, very steady. He hoped this interaction held the same quantities.
‘ no sir!! i was just a little startled is all!! ‘
HE ASSURES THE OTHER WITH A BRIGHT SMILE, a bouquet of flowers clasped in his hands. he thinks it will look lovely on the counter in the kitchen. they flowers he had picked weren’t pristine enough to be given to the young master, he learned that nothing less of perfect petals and dewy leaves were acceptable for the young master’s flower arrangements.
the flowers are placed on the ground gently by his feet, rocking back on his heels he wonders what he’s supposed to do next. it’s not often that visitors come out to the garden and speak to him - maybe it’s a test. he’s not good at tests.
‘ i love it here, the young master gave me a home. this place is the best. ‘
