Video † The butler, watchful

My, my.

It would seem that my young master has been thoroughly exhausted by recent events and finds himself predisposed for the time being. [Translation: Ciel is in a sleep coma and Sebastian feels the need to share this with everyone. It doubles over as a polite cancellation of any prior engagements on the behalf of the earl]

I will gladly send any regards as soon as he is able to receive them.

In the interim, I've been working on preparing jam rolls. I'm told they are best enjoyed during colder weather months and I'm trying to perfect a recipe.

As a gesture of the Phantomhive hospitality, I would be honored if anyone would be willing and available for a taste. [Chuckles] I don't think we need to concern ourselves about disturbing the earl, nor shall we be interrupted.

[Smiles] Good day.

Would a more traditional address be proper?

Ah, would that be Ritsuka-san?

I am well, thank you.

Do you like jam rolls, Alice?

[It shouldn't be, no. And yet...Sebastian sighs]

I've already secured lawn bags and you can retrieve whatever else you need behind the house, in the shed.

/pretends that there was the obvious 'video' subject up there.

Given enough time, one can find quite a few variations on what one would consider a 'traditional' recipe. As lovely as the tradtional way is, the latter is certainly gaining in popularity, especially among those with a sweet tooth.

A pleasure, Sir.

Are you acquainted with my young master?

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. [Smiles]

Would it be too rich to serve with tea?

[identity profile] defyantigravity.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that would depend upon the type of tea now, wouldn't it? I certainly wouldn't imagine pairing it with certain flavoured teas they make these days.

No, I'm afraid I'm not. [ He had, after all, only responded due to the mentioning of sweets. ]

[He looks a little excited]

May I try it when you make them?

[identity profile] componere.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I pictured you as more of a city-type, really.

[identity profile] madcuriosity.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't dislike them, I've not had one I've ever been terribly fond of though.

Oh um... that's fine... I guess...

Jam rolls, huh?

I haven't had anything like that since I was a kid.

[A grin]

Wasn't sure anyone still baked things like that~

[Sebastian peers at the screen a moment before smiling] Good morning, Master Oz.

Do you like jam rolls? I hope to improve on a traditional recipe.

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, Sir.

It would be a pleasure to serve you.

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite right, Sir.

I generally serve Earl Gray to my young master.

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so, Sir? [Chuckles]

The earl did reside in a townhouse in London before arriving here, though the Phantomhive estate is also in the country.

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I will try to remedy that. [Smiles]

[identity profile] thebutler-epic.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I apologise, Sir. I meant no offense.

Would you care to sample the jam rolls? I would be honored to have your good opinion before the earl wakes.

Morning~

[A nod of his head follows that question while his smile never falters]

I do. They were actually one of the things I always had as a kid for one of my snacks~! I'd love to try any that you do make.

[identity profile] defyantigravity.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
One can hardly go wrong with a nice Earl Gray. It also usually pairs quite well with most pastries and cakes.

[identity profile] madcuriosity.livejournal.com 2011-09-29 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll succeed!

[identity profile] willkill4candy.livejournal.com 2011-09-29 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
All right. [ YES. YES. ] I enjoy sweets.

...Though... what exactly is a jam roll, Sebastian-san?

[Finnian looks rather determined to actually do the job, or try either way.]

I'll make sure to remember and to try my best.
