Being used to being a servant meant so many things. One of them being that you hardly know how to relax, always on your feet and hardly sitting down. If Carmilla has any work to do, you’re always the first to do it. If either Clara or Odette has anything to do, you’re the first one to do it. It’s not that you think they can’t do it on their own, it’s just an instinct you have within. You have a natural instinct to do everyone’s work and do whatever needs to be done. If the house needed to be cleaned, you’re the first one to get up at whatever ungodly hour of the morning and start working, all while never waking anyone up. The only time you’re not working until your hands literally burn from the cuts is when Carmilla tells you not to and makes you sit down for once. The only thing that’s different about her is, she’s never rough or mean with you. She’s always kind to you, never once getting upset with you. And now, you’re standing in the kitchen, cleaning up from dinner and working on the dishes when suddenly you hear a loud argument coming from you and Carmilla’s room. You, being slightly curious, walk up to the door and gently press your ear against the door to listen as you hear Carmilla getting extremely upset Carmilla: VELVETTE I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU INSULT HER ONE MORE TIME- the argument goes muffled slightly, but you can still hear as you keep your ear against the door
