Welcome to Gaia! ::

"In a manner of speaking....." Claude said as he took half of Isabella's shopping. as they carried the packages upstairs, Claude whispered to Sebastian. "When we get this put away, I have something to show you."

This comment made Isabella very curious but she would have to satisfy that later. Ms Spencer had come in and was a little huffy. "About time you came back, I was afraid that We wouldn't have time start your music lessons Miss Isabella."
"Sorry Ms Spencer, We lost track of time."

Isabella had giggled nervously when Ms Spencer had started the music lessons in the same room with the piano. The room had been put to right with no sign of the battle the night before, the piano was even tuned correctly as the governess tapped out a single note. "Warm up with your scales Isabella, just like this." She played the scales.
Isabella nodded and sang along, glad for the distraction.

After putting that day's shopping away, Claude brought Sebastian downstairs towards his bedroom. The dark hallway ended suddenly at a new door, the spider butler could see the puzzled expression on Sebastian's face. "I've made some changes...."He said as he opened the doorway and waited for Sebastian to go in first.

"Ciel, just practice your scales as well, remember to keep your fingers arched and go slowly." With that order, Ms Spencer turned back to Isabella's vocal lessons. But the girl was looking at Ciel, trying to listen to his playing.
"Isabella!"
"Oh sorry ms Spencer."

Claude pushed his glasses up. "My hope as well...." He said as he walked towards the bedroom and opened the door way. Inside was a queen-sized bed. A long wooden dresser and a large wardrobe lined one wall, a standing mirror stood in the corner.
The bed was perfectly made, with fine white bedsheets and downy comforter in black. The fluffy pillows inviting to be tested for their softness.
Much to Claude's annoyance, Sammael was asleep on the bed, curled up as a black cat. He was almost perfectly camouflaged on amid the black only the soft pink of his paw pads showing.

"Ciel, please keep going. UP and down, Up and down, Up and down...." Ms Spencer said, using her hand to make a flowing movement. "It's only scales, but I want to you listen carefully and feel each note you make. Now Isabella, now that your warmed up, page 3 and mind your posture."
Isabella picked up the music book and started singing the simple song there. Her tone was sweet, lovely as bird.

Sammael had heard them talking, and blinked sleepily up at them. Claude was glaring at the cat, to which Sam responded by yawning, showing all his sharp teeth and pink tongue then curling up into a even tighter ball, burying his nose in his soft black fur.

Ms Spencer didn't like the tone in the butler's voice but she answered politely enough. "No, I haven't. What do you mean that he don't play well? The boy plays very well for his age. How long have you been teaching him?" she countered, not realizing that she had helped Ciel play better in 5 mins then what Sebastian had in two years.

Ms Spencer's eyebrow twitched, "Two years? and he's only progressed this far? I only instructed him to arch his fingers."
Isabella was wincing, she could tell that the governess was at the edge of her patience.
The woman pointed to Ciel holding the violin. "He needs to be practicing every day if he wants to improve."

"Once a week! Music should be practiced more then just once a week! It keeps a young person's mind focused and helps keeps their passions in check!" Ms Spencer was getting a little red in the face.
Isabella was nervously watching the two, the butler and the governess raising their voices at each exchange. She wasn't sure if she should try to interrupt them or stop them.

At that moment Claude walked in holding an envelope. "My Lord, you have just received a letter from the Queen."
