Artemis was quick to travel to the kitchen, using the set of doors in the back that was normally reserved for moving larger amounts of food in and out of the kitchen. Now, it was being used because it was the fastest way for him to travel and get the food for Marilyn. The moment his foot touched the floor of the kitchen, Tsubasa appeared before him, her glasses fogged from the steam from one of the pots. She bowed quickly before him, saying little before she rose to look up at the obviously taller man.

"Hello..." She said to him. Her eyes looked to the cart that had been full of food the day before, only for it to be empty. However, many plates of food were on trays on the countertop. "Amorin-s... Lady Armorin, arrived in the... the dining room just... just m...." She grumbled to herself almost silently. "Recently." She corrected herself. A soft sigh escaped her lips, just moments before Artemis bowed to her.

He smiled at the chef, not minding her speech all to much to be any sort of problem. "I'm terribly sorry that I wasn't here earlier." He apologized for himself as he rose back up fully. "I had some things to take care of earlier this morning, and I did not foresee that it would take as long as it did."

She smiled at him, blushed even. His english formality and dashing looks appealed to her. He was so tall, so handsome, graceful. He seemed like the person that would go through great lengths to protect Marilyn and those he cared about, being their knight in shining armor and protecting them from all evil in the world. As she lost herself in her thoughts, she could hear the sound that their glasses would make when the clinked together if he ever made a move on her.

All while she was fantasizing, Artemis was busy readying the plates for delivery into the dining room, but as soon as his hand touched one of the plates...

Smack!

Out of nowhere, a single, tiny, dainty hand moved across the kitchen with the sole purpose of slapping Artemis' arm and keeping it from touching her plates.

Tsubasa's glasses shone in such a way that her eyes could not be seen, but the firm expression was visible on the rest of her face. As the adrenaline left her body, and her facial muscles relaxed, a look of shock spread across her face, her hands covering her face to hide it in shame. "I-I... I am s-so s-s-s-sorry... Penrose-san..." she flinched when a hand touched her shoulder, and looked up hesitantly to see Artemis smiling before her.

"Ueda-san, I should be the one apologizing. As the chef, it is your duty to see that the food is delivered to Lady Marilyn." He bowed deeply to her, causing what was one a faint blush on her cheeks to flare wildly. 

With a much slower pace, Tsubasa shuffled towards the trays of food and picked them up, carrying one on each of her hands. Even slower than that, she walked out into the dining room, slowly and carefully making her way to the table. From the kitchen. Artemis could easily see that she would have trouble speaking to Marilyn, even now more so than ever. Quickly, he stepped out of the Kitchen and changed his speed so that he would be at the table at the same time that Tsubasa would arrive there. 

Once at the table, Tsubasa placed the trays down and bowed. her lips trembled as she rose. She wanted to talk, but the words would just not form, and her mouth would just not open. She was thankful that Artemis was there to speak for the two of them.

"Ueda-san has prepared this meal for you this morning, and wishes that you enjoy it wholeheartedly." He spoke to Marilyn. "However, this does not excuse m absence this morning. I am afraid that last nights... guests, kept my busier than I had anticipated, and even after that, another unforeseen problem had arisen. I do hope that you forgive me."
