THERE WILL BE TEA REGARDLESS ]]
AND THIS MAY(D)HEM SHALL ENSUE
[Felicia looked around the dining hall, a tray of tea precariously balanced in her hands as she searched out the man she had been tasked with shadowing that evening. He was the head butler of this affair-- and she would do well to learn from him.
But, after a dozen broken plates and an overturned tray of petit fours, her night was clearly off to a bad start. She wanted to make ammends, somehow. Brows furrowed in worry, she nervously chewed on her lip as she shook her head.]
No, that's not right. It's A... A....
[Her eyes brightened when she caught sight of the man in her reverie-- and she abruptly lifted a hand to wave him down.]
Amano-saaaaannn~~~!
[Blue eyes sparkled with pride at remembering her manners, but her joy was short lived.
Felicia quickly yelped in surprise when the tray in her hand wobbled, and she moved to restore it to proper balance.. but her efforts were too little, too late. With a crash the delicate china of the teapot shattered on the tile at her feet, sending shards of porcelain scattering in every direction while the delicate darjeeling blend that had been picked out and meticulously brewed for the occassion pooled around her feet.
And the maid, once so peppy, visibly wilted at the sight.]
Oh, no....
I guess I should go get something to mop this all up before there's real trouble.
maaaaaaa-yhem
Do not trouble yourself. Begin re-preparing the water.
[ Really, in a way, having a team of staff looking to him is more of a luxury than Ando is used to. Is he...is he doing this properly? Master Hibiki rarely participates in such collaborative ventures. The success of this one is, therefore, paramount! But to think that a whole staff of assistants should turn to him for guidance...a staff including not only waiters and cooks, but also...m-maids....
Ando Rei is wedded to his job and dating a goat. It is entirely possible that he has never spoken to a woman his own age in his entire life.
His stiffness is therefore one part decorum and three parts nerves. Did he...respond correctly...? What if she remains, engages in...in conversation...?
And yet his expression remains inscrutable. ]

[Felicia herself was far from worried about this butler's stiff manner and demeanor. She figured it might have been a part of his training, as was the case with many in domestic service, and didn't give it more than a passing thought beyond concern about whether her own bubbly spirit was considered unprofessional. Quickly recovering herself, Felicia smoothed out her apron and quickly spun on her heel to run into the kitchen--
Only to slip on the still slick floor careening into the Goat Butler with a startled yelp.]
no subject
M-maaaaa!!!
[ Ando manages to lift the broken pieces of china he'd been gathering up over his head with one hoof while steadying Felicia with the other. What--what does he do? What does he say?! Is she all right? Oh, it would be awful for tragedy to befall anyone while he was working on this special occasion....Master Hibiki was so looking forward to entertaining actual royalty....as their equal, of course....
He is staring down at her with absolutely no idea what to do. ]
no subject
[Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment in the moment before she buried herself in her hands and sank like a heavy stone in his gracious hooves. The floor beneath her feet frosted over faintly in her embarrassment, for-- oh, Gods, Jakob was right!
She really was an embarrassment, and a terrible maid! The evening was surely ruined now!]
no subject
[ That is the only word Ando can think of right now. But he is providing poor service in so doing, and that must not be allowed to happen! Master Hibiki is counting on him!! Her elite constitution can only tolerate exposure to top-class behavior!
Ando steadies Felicia and leaps, legs spread like a bounding goat, away from her - but only to deposit the broken china where it belongs. Then he's hurrying back with a tissue box.
He offers her the tissues. ] Please, kindly feel no distress.
[ Is having other servants to cooperate with really this difficult? Or is he not up to the task?
Ah, were he only as amazing as Master Hibiki! She would have this maid smiling, buoyed by her brilliance! ]
All shall be taken care of.
Sorry for the late. I've been dying.
[She tearfully looked up at her begoated boss for the evening, ignoring the way the air frosted around her in her distress as she accepted those tissues-- and inelegantly blew her nose before the tears started anew.]
No, you're right. This will all be okay-- we won't screw up! Not tonight!
[Screwing up her courage, Felicia rubbed the rest of the tears away with her sleeve and reached up to tighten the bow in her hair with a renewed determination in her eyes.]
I'm sorry I messed this up, Amano-san, but I won't do it again. Where would you like me to go so we can make this work out-- for both of our Masters?
np i'm slow too
[ Where does he even begin with that? By clearing his throat, apparently, and forcing himself to focus. ]
Begin heating replacement water. This contains the ideal temperature for each tea we shall be serving.
[ And he passes over a little black notebook, the correct page already marked with a piece of straw. ]
I shall contain the situation here.
no subject
[Felicia thumbed her way through the book briefly, eyes widening in awe at the notes and details that were given beside each blend that was listed.]
There's even notes on how to brew it for different strengths, and if you're going to be mixing blends together for something a different!
[She looked up at him now, eyes shining with her appreciation.]
Lord Corrin was right Master Hibiki really does have the best butler around!
[This strange goat was better than Jakob!.
Of course, personality goes a long way for breaking a tie when skills are otherwise matched.]
no subject
Ando does not, however, know how to handle praise. He averts his attention, absorbing himself in his work. ] It is nothing.
no subject
[Felicia looked up at the goat butler, surprise evident in her clear blue eyes.]
No, no! It's not just 'nothing'~! It's Amazing!
no subject
[ No one has ever said that before. Not Master Hibiki, not Misses Fuwari and Falulu....no one has ever complimented him so effusively in any language other than bleating. ]
M-maa......
[ Giving satisfaction to others is, in turn, his satisfaction as a butler. Such a high opinion from fellow staff.....is this the fabled "coworker camaraderie" that those tasked with group activities find themselves experiencing? Is this the benefit Master Hibiki receives, the reason for her blissful smile, when she performs alongside Misses Falulu and Fuwari....?
....No, Ando is pretty sure that second one is slightly different. ]
