Mizukage's office

Sebastian flew around the office, dusting the shelves, washing the floor, doing the Mizukage's paperwork, and erecting a life size chocolate statue of a horse. He did it all with ease and with a smile. He did it without breaking a sweat. He did only what was expected of him as the butler to the Mizukage.

Walking through the double doors that led to her room, she closed it behind her and didn't look up. Stirring in a gentle fashion, the platinum blonde Mizukage allowed a fluid sigh erupt from her small diaphragm. Opening her previously shut eyes, a set of twin oceans glanced forward as she stared up at Sebastian, blinking cluelessly. Was that... Chocolate horse...?! The place was spotless, compared to what it once was when she had left a month ago for a mission. Returning with a few scratches, bruises, and a broken arm, she looked to the side and saw her butler. "Sebastian..." she said his name, pausing for a brief moment, "... Thank you." It meant a lot to her that he did all the things he did for her. It was a great help. Placing her backpack to the side, she walked over to her desk and pulled out her seat to sit in. Slowly, she lowered herself into the seat, biting her tongue and gripping the arm rest as she tried not to wince. "How are you, Sebastian?" she asked quietly. Her eyes glanced over at the large chocolate horse, her eye twitching. How would she eat all of that?

Sebastian bowed to Misa as she walked in. He put aside the reamining papers on her desk and brought her a cup of Earl Grey's tea. Then he stood beside her and gently grabbed her arm with a serious face. "To walk in here and ask me how I'm doing while ignoring your own pain is quite an amazing feat my lady..." he said with an emotionless tone. Here she was, covered in bruises and scratches and all she seemed to care about was the chocolate horse and his well being. "My lady...where ever you may be, as long as you summon me, I will protect you. Now, tell me what happened to you or you shall get none of my chocolate horse." he said with a slight smile. He was happy that she had returned, but the fact that she had been hurt and treated unkindly angered him. Bruising the body can even so much as ruin the taste of the soul.

Staring at him with a blank expression, her eyes slightly drooped as they gandered away from his eyes. "What happened to me is none of your concern. I'll be fine, Sebastian. I wasn't able to heal myself back on the mission, I was too exhausted and out of chakra. I'll do it when I feel a smidgen better. For now, please put your troubling worries to rest..." she murmured quietly, not looking back at him. Her eyes were glued to nothing, she was just staring out into the open. "I'm pretty sure Denzel will love that horse..." she added, trying to sound a bit chipper, though she failed at it; Misa was just tired and sore.

Sebastian closed his eyes and nodded, then proceeded to finish the horse. He only needed to cook and sculpt the back leg now. But every now and then he couldn't help but stare at her with sadness. She had ordered him not to worry about her, but he decided to help her rest. Sebastian pulled his left hand glove off, revealing the mark of their contract, and walked up from behind and gently covered her mouth. The mark glowed and put her into a light genjutsu that filled her with joyous thoughts. After that he put his glove back on and summoned the maid he had hired as extra help. "Meylin...go home and prepare our master's bed and blankets. Please do not make me have to go over and check on you..." he said to the maid who looked extrememly clumsy. The maid ran off and Sebastian finished up the last touches on the horse. "Master Denzel will definetly love this horse...I just hope he doesn't try to eat it all in one day..."
