Toby nodded, grinning rather dumbly as Izzy actually put forth an effort into playing the “proper maid.” He tapped both his feet (socked as they were, it didn’t make much noise) rhythmically, although not so much out of impatience as it was excitement. It was a bit silly, he reflected, to be enjoying this treatment as much as he was, but...there was something very nice about it...And it let him watch Izzy work, showing that playful as he was, the boy definitely was able to work properly. Pretty impressive discipline, all told... Soon enough, the tea was apparently ready. Seemed pretty quick, even though he’d been watching Izzy the whole time. “Oh, yes, definitely,” he said enthusiastically, nodding. “And after you’ve served out everything,” he paused a moment to try to properly put on airs of a fancy rich person, “you may have a seat and join me.” He managed the tone pretty well, and then giggled, ruining the effect. He managed to stifle that quickly, though.

Toby's airs nearly made Izzy break character, a snort just teetering on the edge of coming out. But he had enough experience holding it in that he simply cleared his throat. After all, he was a professional! A professional who very much noticed that Toby seemed to have a thing for maids. It was one thing to like maids and all that, but he wondered how deep did that run for someone like Toby, who seemed to be very easily caught off guard by very much anything. If he remembered anything about those KDramas his sisters liked to watch, butlers always seemed to have a different air than the maids, more refined, more... indulgent towards their focuses' ego. He couldn't help the idea that slithered into his head and hid behind that poised face he kept. Inside, he was absolutely grinning. With all the grace he could muster up, Izzy brought the tray closer, setting down the tea and it's treats, before leaning over close to pour the water into the cup. "That's very kind of you. I do appreciate it." His voice remained steady, though it was very hard to keep from laughing. Especially when he leaned in close, whispering into Toby's ear. "I can't imagine having anyone other than you as my master this evening. I'll be more than happy to keep serving you."

Toby sucked in his breath lightly as Izzy leaned in close, but he remained in place, watching the tea pour and grinning. ...And then Izzy delivered his line, and the poor 'master' got very red once again, and squirmed in his seat. He had a pleased, silly grin on his face, although for the moment seemed to be at a total loss of words as he sat there, lightly tapping his thumbs on the table and nodding. After a moment, he managed to look at Izzy again. He has to know, Toby thought, doesn't he...?

While Toby didn’t really respond out loud, the redness was perfect. Granted, he was grinning over it.. So maybe Izzy was right, Toby DID have a thing for butlers too. Probably best not to play into that too much, buuuuut if he ever did find out who the other boy’s crush was, he’d have to give him the hint. Maybe have him show up on the kid’s doorstep with flowers in a full on uniform like his dad wore, not this weird half maid thing Izzy had going on. Buuuuuut, there were still things to be done, tea to serve, faces to wipe, so he got back to work before neatly taking a seat beside his friend. “Please, sir, let me know if this is to your liking. If not, I can brew it again, or perhaps get you the ice cream you were thinking of earlier.”

It was, perhaps, not specifically butlers and maids, but the demeanor...or maybe that meant it was maids and butlers. Either way, he was clearly enjoying this. “I’d like cream and sugar, please,” he says lightly. Once that’s applied, he sips. “It’s perfect, thank you, my good man.” He says, and suppresses another giggle. “Pour yourself a cup, too.”

As requested, cream and sugar were added, along with a small plate of cookies pulled from the tray and placed before Toby. “Of course, sir.” After that, he poured himself a cup and scooted even closer, his knees brushing against Toby’s. “Thank you again, for allowing me join you. I must say, you and yours have a delightful taste in tea. Very fragrant and mellow. I appreciate it, master.”

While his face got a darker shade of red, Toby managed to keep talking, ‘in character.’ “Ah, you’re welcome, I wouldn’t be much of a gentleman if I didn’t treat you,” He’d really meant to say something less specific, but oh well, “how I’d want to be treated, right?” “We have good tea brands, but,” he sipped again, “I dunno that we’ve ever actually made them right before, oh, this is nice.” He grinned, and, boldly, used his leg to gently rub those knees touching him.

“How you’d wish to be treated? Does that mean my dear sir wants to serve me and call me master? I don’t know if my poor heart could take it.” Of course he noticed the leg rubbing against him, but brushed it off. Knees got itchy, it happens. “Would you like me to feed you too? After all, I am here to serve.”

“Well, uh,” Toby sputtered. “I could, but, uh, I doubt I could make the tea as well.” He smiled. It could be fun doing that. “ Feed me?” He responded. “Uhm...sh-sure!” That red in his face never quite seemed to go away...

“You sure are milking this, aren’t you?” At that point, Izzy just couldn’t help it, that grin of his crept through. Toby really could be cute as heck sometimes. He figured he had held up his end of the deal long enough, and decided to be a little childish by picking up the cookie and holding it up to Toby’s lips. “Here comes the Choo-Choo train! Say Aahhh”

Toby blinked twice, then snorted. “Oh jeez,” he said, laughing...although that meant his mouth was open. He clearly didn’t mind Izzy breaking character. He’d certainly fulfilled his requirements, as far as Toby was concerned.

And in the cookie went. Shoved into Toby’s mouth with no grace at all. Izzy wasn’t trying to choke him though, so he stopped when the other grabbed it with his teeth, and then went to munch on his own cookie. “Good boy, good master. Guess you’re better trained than I am, huh?” Towards the end, his words merged with a yawn. “Bed soon, yeah? I’m more pooped than i thought.”

Toby chewed the cookie, laughing. Soon enough, it was gone. Yawns, as it turned out, were still quite contagious, and he yawned too. “Yeah, it’s about time. Thanks for serving the tea and cookies!” He stood up, and picked up the tray. “I won’t make you clean it all up yourself, though.”

“Shall I prepare the bath for you, sir? Or warm the sheets for you?” Butlers did that sorta thing, right? Making beds, drawing baths, scrubbing between toes? Gross. “No, I insist.” he stood up too, taking the tray from Toby and heading to the sink. “My dear sir’s only job is to relax.”

Toby managed to get moderately redder at the new suggestion. “Uhm...n-no, no, you don’t need to do anything like that,” he said, shaking his head quickly, while a sudden rather vivid image of ways to warm his sheets popped into his head. “Mm, well, y-you can do that, I’ll go get the sleeping bag ready for you, then.” He nodded quickly.
