Illiendi had busied himself in the kitchen, seemingly the old cook napping at his post so the demon took charge of breakfast that morning, it was a fresh enough day but not so cold someone would want hot food for breakfast. All the same something sweet and light would be perfect and so he settled on french toast with diced red fruits and a drizzle of honey, tea and juice for those who desired such. With the eggs beaten and the milk and dash of cream added he allowed a cinnamon stick to infuse in the batter while he set about laying out the table, a clean table cloth, polished silver and shined glasses were laid out for each of the family members in the household. As Illiendi recalled their was Chesia, the Lord, the two young brothers, Amano- who had already eaten-, his eldest brother and he vaguely recalled something about a wife. Each place was set with a well folded swan napkin as had been done so the night before and as he exited the room he heard the Lord of the manor enter, laughing about something or other. 

The demon then set to work in the kitchen, removing the cinnamon stick and adding a sprinkling of sugar, he warmed three large teapots full of water and left tea leaves to infuse within cotton sachets inside. Heating a skillet he dipped the bread into the mixture, coating it evenly both sides before lightly frying it until the egg was cooked through but the bread still soft. Setting six plates about the work table he constructed stacks of the French toast three high for the men, two high for the women, the toast was then cut, decorated with the red fruits; strawberries, red currants, raspberries and logan berries, and dusted with the icing sugar. Each plate was then arranged on a tray, five on one tray and two on the other, leaving room for the jug of juice; fresh squeezed apple and mint, and the teapots. Carefully lifting the trays he balanced them upon his fingers, white towel over one arm and made his way steadily to the dining hall. 

Once there he gave a polite half bow to the Lord, never spilling a drop of tea or disturbing the food before approaching the table and laying out -for all those present- the breakfast. "Today's breakfasts consists of French toast, topped with red summer berries and a delicate dusting of icing sugar. The second course today will be apple and pork stuffed sausages with poached eggs, black pudding and delicately butter fried mushrooms. We have a choice of freshly squeezed apple and mint, refreshing and revitalizing drink or Ceylon tea." Each place receiving a breakfast, the tea pots placed in the centre of the table with the jug of juice, the Lord received a full bow now, "A pleasure to make your acquiescence my Lord, I am your sons man servant, I look forward to working in your household. If you will forgive me, I will fetch the milk and honey for the teas." Giving Chesia, Tawney and Burtis a half bow as he passed them but sparing them no other look on his way back to the kitchen. He made a promise to Amano not to upset the mother or drag her name through the dirt and he planned to keep it. 

Once back in the kitchen he placed two dozen sausages onto a tray and slid it into the fire while heating a pan of water, another pan with butter was stuck further out of the oven so the butter melted but didn't evaporate, into this he roughly cut mushrooms and threw them in. A fresh tray was found and seven cups and seven polished teaspoons were added, the tea services sugar bowl was half filled with honey while the milk jug was filled just shy of the top. It was then the chef stirred and grumbled something but Illiendi ignored it, leaving the younger replacement to deal with the chef while he carried out the rest of the tea service, in the dining room each place received a saucer, cup and spoon and with the tray trapped beneath an arm he saw to fixing tea for those who were seated at the table. The lord was laughing again but a good servant didn't react and Illiendi was no exception.
