[ you nailed it ]

...Yes.

[ It's mumbled rather sourly, since he's a brat through and through, and his idea of this conversation had gone with Zara accepting easily, so he didn't have to admit his weaknesses. ]

And of course, that's fine. I don't want to steal you from your master.

[sewayaku]

[ he doesn't even take it as admitting a weakness or anything of the sort - at least not any more than asking for a servant already did. Zara makes an affirmative noise on the other end of the phone. ]

In that case, I'll be happy to help. It couldn't hurt to make some extra coin on the side.

[ or... credits, or whatever. ]

[cheats]

Good.

[ He does seems genuinely relieved with how he says it, since there's a softness to that single word, but it's quickly gone, don't worry. ]

Er, it would be in the mornings, for the most part. Evenings I can manage. [ He has learned how to bathe himself, basically. Good job, Ciel... ]

[sewayaku]

[ thank you for sparing him any awkward sponge baths, ciel. ]

That's fine. I'm an early riser. [ someone has to cook breakfast and tidy up the house, after all. ]

What kind of work do you need done, if I could ask?

[cheats]

Morning preparation, essentially.

[ He can't admit that he needs help getting dressed, so watch him tapdance around it over and over again... ]

That's the only time that it's troublesome, since lunch and dinner is fine, at least. But getting ready in the morning and breakfast is a bother.

[sewayaku]

[ it's okay, zara will only judge him a little. He chuckles gently. ]

Understood. Not a morning person, Earl Phantomhive?

[ he understands... his young lady is similar. ]

[cheats]

[ Ciel just sighs heavily and shakes his head, so you can pretty much guess the answer from that alone. ]

Not at all. I'm a light sleeper, so I enjoy my sleep quite a lot.

[ he's a little hellion in the morning... ]

[sewayaku]

You are around that age...

[ the rebellious night owl age. You can practically hear his understanding nod. ]

I shall get back to you once I've spoken with Nesso. When would you like me to start, provided he approves?

[cheats]

[ That gets him to frown, but it's only brief, since he'd rather just ask for help, at least. ]

The Monday after, whenever that should be.
