I'm not sure if the Admiral would grant it, but I'll give it a try.

And if that doesn't work...

Would you be open to using my bath and shower?

It's got modern plumbing, and I'd have no problem giving the two of you privacy.

Thank you, Miss Aerith.

If you would be so generous as to offer it, I would humbly accept. [He doesn't love the idea of using a woman's bathroom - so improper! - but needs musts.]

Of course. I also have a washer and dryer if you'd like to use the machines too- unless his and your clothes are too delicate?

[And thinking on it...]

Does he like any particular soaps or anything? I've been thinking of trying to make handmade soaps with some of the flowers I've been growing.

The young master's clothes require handwashing, I fear. [Sebastian was delighted to learn about washing machines and dishwashers, right up until when he realised they can't handle fine clothing or delicate china.] My own clothes are of no import, I assure you. [He wouldn't want to bother her with his own needs. Those aren't important.]

Mm... the young master prefers subtle scents, generally speaking. Lavender and rose are the ones I typically choose. It would be kind of you to make soap for him in particular, although I would not ask it of you.

Oh, I wondered.

[His clothing did seem delicate.]

But please- you might as well while you're there if your clothes can handle it. That way, you both can feel cleaner before getting some rest.

[Which...does Sebastian sleep? She has no clue.]

We have plenty of lavender, but I'd avoid the roses. Some people might get testy from the scent, thanks to the Amnesia potion.

I'll let you know if I have a successful batch. In the meantime- I'll make sure there's soap, shampoo and conditioner and towels ready.

I can have some tea ready too, if you'd like.

The majority of my clothes are far less delicate than the young master's. If you are certain, then I humbly accept.

[Should Sebastian allow himself some time to relax before he explodes? Perhaps! Is he going to do that? Absolutely not.

About the amnesia potion, though... That was ages ago; some people are so sensitive. God forbid women do anything.]

Thank you, miss Aerith. Given your generosity, I will be honest: my sense of taste is different from that of a human. I recognise and appreciate the offer of tea, and have no issue drinking it, but it is not something that is enjoyable for me. [So there's no real need for her to go through the effort.] The young master, however, will appreciate it.

[Sebastian...please have some chill out time so you don't go on a murder spree. It's so last month.]

I'm very certain. Knowing that I can offer the assistance to you helps a lot.

[Please don't go around smelling of roses either. She might have to give a very disagreeing sigh if you do.]

It may be lower standards then he prefers, but I can just leave a hot pot- or milk with honey.

Is there...anything that I could leave for you, food or drink wise?

I'd be happy to leave something for you to help you to relax at the end of the day.

[It does make her think of what Trevor told her. Though...on that vein she's not going to mention potatoes.

What do demons eat anyway? Blood? Brains? Souls? Or maybe he's just a coffee demon...?]

[There's no denying anything Aerith will serve won't be up to Ciel's usual standards, but even someone like Sebastian's young master is capable of appreciating a kind gesture for what it is.]

There is no need to serve me anything, Miss Aerith. Unlike a human, I have no need for rest or relaxation.

[He does still have plenty of the Space Tea Hakkai got him, but it doesn't smell (or taste) good to humans: Sebastian would never brew it in the presence of his master.]

[Oh yeah she knows her stuff would not be up to noble standards.

She hummed gently.]

All right. Just let me know if there's anything else I can do for you and Ciel?

Though...I might ask the Admiral if they can do anything for Ciel's allergies. Trevor mentioned he's allergic to cats?

I will, Miss Aerith. [If he ever needs to, he'll take so much advantage of her generosity, you don't even know.

But... hrm. He hates the idea of the Admiral touching the young master in any capacity. There's a pause, until:]

...Indeed, he is allergic. I am confident that I can keep the resident cats away from him.

[The idea that this is for Sebastian's benefit doesn't even cross his mind.]

Thank you Sebastian.

[She won't try to get run over at least! Maybe she sneak in some things for Sebastian too. As for the allergies...]

I'm not sure that'll be possible. There's cats all over the Barge, and we have catnip plants in the Greenhouse- where Ciel will be working.

We can ask around if you'd like- for medication or some sort of ability someone has.

We want to make sure he doesn't have his...well. Life being uncomfortable at the very least while he's here.

[Ciel will not be working in the Greenhouse: Ciel will order Sebastian to work in his stead in the Greenhouse. Sebastian doesn't correct her.

Hrm.] A daily deep-cleaning of every area the young master visits is of course an option, [This is a Reasonable and Completely Doable option as far as Sebastian's concerned! And yes, he means to do it himself, single-handedly,] but... I do suppose it is remarkable, if not surprising, that humanity has developed medicine for that sort of thing.

[He, at least, doesn't hate the idea of someone not the Admiral using their ability on the young master as much. And indeed, his master's comfort is paramount.]

I will discuss the options with him.

[Sebastian...you're lucky Aerith has a plan to get around this. Light work for Ciel. She's going to educate him first.]

It's an option, but that will take you valuable time away from him. But please let me know what he decides?

We want him to be as comfortable as possible while he's here.

Also- let me know when you would like to help him with his first bath. I'll make sure that everything is deep cleaned before he comes in.

I don't have a cat- but Zack's dog, Zeke, sometimes comes by. So if you see animal hair- though I hope not- you won't have to worry too much.

I will let you know. And luckily the young master is not allergic to dogs; a few strands of dog hair will be of no import.

Would tonight be acceptable? [Yes, he does consider deep-cleaning her entire bathroom on such short notice to be entirely reasonable. Although--] I would be available to help clean your bathroom beforehand.

Edited 2025-03-20 16:32 (UTC)

Tonight is fine. I'll start some cleaning-

And take out the cleaning things...? Depending on how early you'd like to come in and clean things.

[Well...she's not going to be mad if he does a deep cleaning. Maybe she can ask him what he'd use to polish wooden floors sometime...]

Would at 8 o'clock be acceptable?

[Urgh. He doesn't really have the time to clean another person's space, but needs musts.]

Yes, it would. I'll do whatever cleaning I can but...

You're a professional, and I'm sure you'll do a much better job then me.

[Also: it'll give him some control. She feels like she needs that.]

Anything other then the bath supplies and laundry soap that you'd like me to being out?

I'll see if I can find something you can use to wash Lord Ciel's clothes in the meantime?

[Sebastian, a control freak? Perish the thought.]

Bath supplies and laundry soap should do plenty, Miss Aerith. Thank you.

[Sebastian will bring his own just in case Aerith's aren't Acceptable, but no need to spell that out.]

I would be grateful for the opportunity to wash the young master's clothes at the same time. Handles your washing machine hand-washed clothes?

[Sebastian, the possible legend of the kitchen? A control freak? Naaaah.]

Of course! Least I can do.

[And she won't be offended if Sebastian brings his own stuff. Really...she expects it. He'd know the quality of it really.]

It does have a delicate cycle. But if not- there are buckets and scrubs that could be used for hand washing.

I'll set those out too.
