Video
[Well here's one happy looking maid, apparently on break from her manor duties and the tending of queens and kings.]
Mister Sebastian!
[And she doesn't even stutter! This is a good sign.
The tiny little tuxedo that she's holding in her hands, complete with miniature white gloves? Not so good.]
I made this for ah--ah....Mr. Frog!
[Was that the daemon's name? She didn't quite catch it.]
"...Ahem."
I thought it would be more proper if--
"Ahem. Meirin."
[The video turns as she does, focusing on the bat, Sebastien. Who is currently modeling quite the precious little wedding gown. Complete with a veil that looks suspiciously like some lace doilies.]
"I know what you're thinking, Meirin. And the answer is no. I am not pretending to marry that amphibious--"
WAHHH!
[And with that startled cry, the video is terminated.]

[Video]
[And she will lead the way, somewhat fearing for her life the entire time.]
[In Person]
intimidatingfirm and directive that way.][In Person]
M-Mister Sebastian! I-I-I hope I didn't keep you w-waiting.
[She comes to a halt, eyes lowered and hands clasped together in front of her.]
Th-this way, Sir.
[In Person]
[He falls in step behind her, allowing her to lead the way.]
[In Person]
Ah, she's just being silly.
Finally they arrive at the parlor draperies, which seem a good six inches shorter than they used to be.]
[In Person]
Lopping off the edges of drapery without using proper stitchwork is not top condition.]
Meirin, please do inform me the next time you feel the need to fix an error such as this. I will... [Wrap the draperies around her neck in a very fancy-looking noose and pull until her face is a bloated, purple, slobbery--] Assist you. [He smiles.]
Pardon me. [He slips past her and moves forward to take the drapes off their rods. Of course he can fix it, it goes without saying he can perform a task so simple as fixing mucked up drapery.]
[In Person]
[As she watches him, her fear steadily turns to awe. Meirin starts inching closer and closer to observe.]
A-ah, may I ask you something?
[In Person]
[Sounds a bit distracted. Not even looking at her, too busy with taking down the curtains.]
[In Person]
[She hesitates, twiddling her fingers together before she finally spits it out.]
Is there anything that you're not good at?
[In Person]
No. There is not.
[He pulls down the second drapery, back to her.]
The young master wishes for a perfect butler. And that is what I shall be, with every fibre of my being. Anything less would not befit the house of Phantomhive, don't you agree?
[In Person]
[Meirin is quick and genuine to agree with that. She goes back to being as quiet as a church mouse, merely observing and ready to aid him if need be.
Not that there will be any need for her help.
Sometimes, it's like he's not even human.
Behind her, Sebastien sneezes.]
[In Person]
He ignores Sebastien and smiles at Meirin.] That will be all. I shall take it from here.
