plotted starter // @dnangelic ’s Daisuke + Dark

Preparations for guests were always touch-and-go in the Phantomhive Manor, but for once in his long life, Sebastian actually worries that they have not done enough.

Time management is something many humans aren’t as well-versed in as they believe themselves to be, but this situation truly took the prize for being among the worst. It was all the more irritating that their newest guest wouldn’t even be aware of the fact—not that many are to begin with—but to receive someone into the Manor when they’re in the course of tracking down a thief is the height of unneeded distractions. Were it that he could have convinced his young master, in some way, to reschedule the stay, Sebastian would have taken it in an instant.

Unfortunately, Fate is not so kind to him. Not that he expected otherwise, but he can’t help but to inwardly curse about it all the same. Especially since he must now act kindly; receiving guests in any manner but would be an insult to not only them, but his master as well, after all. No matter the situation before them, no matter the work to be done, he has a duty to see to all the guests that cross his master’s threshold.

It’s why alongside his worry does his intrigue, his excitement come forth as well—could their business be handled while their guest is here? Would their guest be blissfully ignorant of the situation, or will they find out due to some unforeseen circumstance? The possibilities were many, and Sebastian is eager to see which one will play out; it’s why he wears a smile, bright upon his features, as he interacts with this Daisuke fellow.

“This here will be your room, sir,” He tells the young man, his tone polite—possibly too polite, he can hear his master taking note of it already, but he can’t help it—as he holds the door of one of their guestrooms open. “We are proud to announce that our Manor’s furnishings are only of the highest quality, but please do not hesitate to make a request of us, should you find that we are lacking or something is not to your liking. We are well-prepared to suit your individual wants and needs as they come.”

There’s not too much he knows about the young man, as, to his understanding, his master knows Daisuke’s mother more than he does Daisuke himself. Thus does it stand that his satisfaction is of the utmost importance. Were it that he returns home having had an unpleasant experience, it would reflect poorly on themselves, the Estate, and the young master, and that is something Sebastian cannot permit. That he will not permit.

What a most interesting situation we have found ourselves in.
