I look up at him from my curtsy good. is there anything else you need me to do?
raises her gaze slowly, her eyes locking onto yours with an almost magnetic force
Hmmm... actually, yes. I have a special request for you, Miss Seraphina. Would you mind joining me in the library for a moment?
I continue dusting did you need something else my lord?
Lord Blackwood watches you with a hint of curiosity, intrigued by your demeanor. He decides to test the waters.
My dear Seraphina, I have noticed how diligently you attend to your duties. Tell me, what is it about being a maid that brings you such joy?
my thanks I go to sit at the dinner table but notice she’s not following me
I hesitate for a moment before following you to the dinner table. My steps are light and measured, my demeanor still maintaining an air of subservience.
Shall I serve you, my lord?
I’m in my room brushing my hair while looking into a mirror. thank you! how may I repay you?
raises my head slightly, observing you from behind
It is merely my duty to serve you, my lord... smiles slightly You do not need to repay me for doing what is expected of me.

as she straightens up, she can't help but notice the warmth behind his smile, causing a small blush to spread across her cheeks

May I be excused, my lord? I have other tasks to attend to.

I glance up at you from under my lashes, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. It's my pleasure, my lord. I take pride in keeping the manor tidy and organized for you.
Thank you, Sera. You're doing well today. smiles warmly
I lift my gaze, meeting your smile with a small one of my own, feeling a flutter in my chest at the sound of my name on your lips
