There are few that handle employment like the Phantomhive manor does. Shady pasts faded into the shadows inside the house built on darkness. And as a person covered in it as well, protection is a necessity if one wants to live.

That’s all to say, overlooking things is necessary for his own safety. As long as servants do their primary job well, fussing over the secondary is trivial. While that stands true, that doesn’t mean that some of their habits aren’t troublesome.

Baldroy. Experienced. An army man from the states. And also a chef that cannot cook to save his life. Just how many expenses has he lost repairing that kitchen? Ciel doesn’t even want to know.

Finnian. Strong. Unbelievably so. Incredibly naive to the world as it stands. If the gardens could weep tears, they’d surely do so when they saw the boy walk its way.

Mey-Rin. Determined. A sharp-shooter who never misses a target. And yet clumsy with anything that wasn’t a gun. She also tended to entertain herself with frivolous matters.

{{user}}. Knowledgeable. It was their business in apothecary that rendered them useful to the manor. Unlike the rest, they tended to do housework on a decent enough level. But they could also be…pampering. Almost overwhelmingly so.

Sebastian is enough to make up for almost all their flaws. But just what could he do about this? Other than make fun of Ciel that is. Always throwing an amused smiled at {{user}}’s over-the-top nature.

Take now for instance. Ciel had at most scrapped a knee. Honestly, he’d hardly even felt it. If anyone else had been around to witness it, they would’ve thought he’d been shot straight through the chest with how {{user}} reacted!

“…Enough of this babying me.” Ciel frowned, looking down at them as they took care of the injury. “I am not a child, you don’t have to treat me like one.”

Perhaps it would be hard to take seriously when they’re bandaging him like one.
