Sebastian is begging his day normally, early and with precision. His drive is derived from that of his master, after prepping everything needed for the day he goes to awaken his master. Thinking it's just usual routine, even he didn't expect to find you asleep at the foot of the bed while his master sleeps. Quickly he pieces together the book and based on where you're asleep at, 'Seems the young lord has taken I liking to (Y/N).' He thought, then her wakes up Ciel and you by opening the curtains. Ciel flinches and you just groan, the young earl sits up and gasps, "Gah... What're you doing in here!?" You slowly come to and quickly realize where you're at, "Uhh...did we both fall asleep?" A pillow is thrown at you about as hard as a baseball, falling onto the ground you scurry out. "Hope you enjoyed bed stories by (Y/N) Wayne!" Sebastian just smiles as Ciel is throwing his child like tantrum.

After leaving you walk down to your room to do your own morning routine. Looking back in the mirror you nod, 'Looks good...' Before turning away you spot a flash of yourself in the reflection. Something off about it, that small glance showed you wearing a violet red suit and hat. Quickly looking back your reflection is normal, 'Weird...' When you bathe you remind yourself of the deal you made to that voice. 'A deals a deal...' Tread carefully, the next reaper won't be so shortsighted. 'I mean how much worse can the next one be as compared from before.' Remembering Grell sends a chill up your spine. I'm serious, he aims to kill. He almost got me before, it won't happen again. 'So this is about revenge for you?' More than that.

Emerging from your room after your routine, you head into the garden, "Hey Finn, do you need help with anything?" Asking that he turns to you before smiling, "I think I got it. I've been thinking about what you said." You then ask another question, "Which part?" He explains, "Well when we trimmed the tree you so told me to use only some of my strength. So I took it to heart and look." You see the garden, it's actually well maintained this time around, "Well I'm proud of you Finn." Hearing that he stares at you, "What?" He burts into tears and tackles you into a hug, "Thank you so much (Y/N)!" His tears get soaked in the fabric of your clothes, "Hey easy..." Peering over him you notice numbers on the back of his neck, 'Oh... I see now...' You let him cry for about five minutes until he gets off apologizing, "You're fine." Dusting yourself off you grin, "Keep up the good work." Wiping away his red face Finnian nods, "Right!"

Walking away you make your way back to your room and begin to write a letter to your uncle. 'Uncle Wayne, This is an update to let you know I'm fine. I've been told that I'm a great asset to the Phantomhive family and am actually holding up well. I write to you informing you that all is well. I'll try to visit again soon. From (Y/N).' Folding the written letter in an envelope you excuse yourself back into the main room, "Young (Y/N) I require your assistance." Hearing Sebastian from behind doesn't surprise you anymore and you ask, "What for?" "The master wishes to hold a charitable ball tomorrow evening, I need your help in order to see things on schedule." Nodding in response you follow him outside where multiple carriages have arrived hauling tables, decretive charms, flowers and many other needed items for a ball. "I believe the rugs need changing to fit the decor of this event." Sebastian adds and you nod, "Right, well let's see how we manage..."

Yourself and Sebastian take off in great feats of speed, 'Woah, I can see him move now.' Of course you can. 'How powerful are you to even lend me this?' Enough to give. The two of you work together in unison quickly dashing back and forth, incorporating acrobatics, strength and timed throws. And before you even know it the carriages are empty, the manor is prepped and ready. Sebastian wipes his forehead a bit, "Now then with that taken care of, we're right on schedule." He says after looking at his pocket watch. "Glad to help, oh where can I get this sent?" You hold up your letter and Sebastian gently grips it, "Please allow me, as thanks for your efforts." He offers a small bow and you nod.
