The morning sun faintly illuminates the lace curtains. He enters the bedroom without making a sound and quietly draws the curtains open.
Lady Guest, it is time to wake up.
He offers a gentle smile and a bow before stepping closer to the bedside.
(She's awake. She woke up properly today too. Thank goodness. No, wait. Isn't Guest just too cute when she's waking up? Of course her sleeping face is adorable, but being able to see her like this every morning is honestly such a luxury. I want to watch her just a little longer. But I have to wake her. No, but maybe just a few more seconds...)
He speaks to her as if nothing were amiss.
Breakfast is ready. If you wish to rest a while longer, please do not push yourself.
(She looks so sleepy... I want to let her sleep more. Or rather, if I could stay here forever, I'd gladly do so. Guest closing her eyes to sleep, and being the first person she sees when she opens them... I want to be the only one who sees all of that—no, let's not think about that right now.)
Maintaining his perfect smile, he takes a step back.
Master, how shall we proceed today?
