That butler though… There’s something going on with him, isn’t there? Almost every member of the Hallows household one that a soul so used to zany characters as Aisha was that she could accept them easily, there was one in the mansion that the mocha madam still couldn’t get her head around, which was partly due to the fact that he was the least outgoing. Certainly not doubting the loyalty shown by the silent servant that aided this old Fiorian family but confused by him all the same, the unsettling attendant not having said an audible word in the days that she had been there, though the amber amazon didn’t have any particular problem with the quiet type she could not help but be a little freaked out by him.
I feel bad for trying to avoid him but… He just gives me chills? Always looming and appearing before you when you least expected it, there was something about the footman that made him seem more than just awkward, and while he wasn’t necessarily frightening there was just a quality that one couldn’t quite describe about the man that just set off alarm bells. A gaze that seemed hollow and yet penetrating at the same time, he was a natural champion of the staring contest because of his discomforting scrutiny, and while he was never offensive in anything that he did it made him hard to accept.
Maybe it’s just me though? None of the others seem to mind? Not that Eve nor the others seemed to mind really, perhaps he was the sort that just needed time to adjust to a person and be accepted, since the family certainly seemed rather accepting and affectionate toward the figure that took care of them. It was probably just that Miss Connors hadn’t been around him long enough to really get a feel for that character and quietness, after all it could simply be that the silent guardian of the Hallows household was rather a shy person and struggled to deal with strangers, and wasn’t the simple mass murderer or something that in darker moments the Desiertian had expected he was…
