Half of James was disappointed that she didn’t make any friends on her first day at the college; however he was also grateful that she wasn’t bring over a man. Something inside of him turned as that thought crossed his mind. Would he be… jealous, if another man walked into her apartment? Maybe… maybe not… Why would it matter though?! He was her butler. His job is to take care of her, make sure she has everything she needs and insure her comfort. If her comfort involved having a man over for any reason… he shouldn’t get in the way of that --- right?

His heart swelled a little hearing her praise him and he felt like he was standing up straighter and puffing out his chest a bit more because of it. When she wasn’t looking he lost his professional composure and allowed a smile to move across his face. But when he picked up her plate it was back to normal. “You’ll make friends soon. I doubt it will be a problem.” He said with a nod. 

Attention turning to the wall where the clock hung he gave a small nod. “That will ring every 15 minutes with a light chirp but the hour rings consist of how many bells play. I’ll make sure you have enough time to get to your classes.” When she left he began to do the dishes only to feel his phone vibrating in his pocket. Finishing up the last bit of dishes he pulled out his phone to check it, he was surprised to see that it was Freya of all people. And he couldn’t help but smile.

[i]Hello Freya, long time no chat. Yes I had fun last night as well. Next time we should try some songs from Grease. Whatcha up to?[/i]
