This was something completely different. They had sung before, but the air was completely different. She grinned as he picked up the microphone without being asked to and sang along. They sung many songs and by the end of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" they were in a fit of giggles. Wiping a few tears of laughter from her eyes, James looked at her as she spoke and she blinked. "Huh?" The question of why she wanted to be friends with him was kind of confusing. She thought for a moment, and then grinned towards him as she accepted his hand and stood, brushing herself off as she turned her microphone off with a click and as she grabbed his, put them back into their respective places on the machine. "Well, because I think that you're a great person, James. I think it would be an honor to be able to befriend you." When he brought up the employees and employer thing, she shook my head.

"I...understand that it might make you uncomfortable to be friends with me when you're on the clock.." She began, pointing to the time. "But, maybe...when you aren't busy and don't have obligations to me...maybe we could..?" She cleared her throat as she looked at her lap now. This was...delicate territory. She didn't want to say something wrong and then jeopardize her chances of ever having James' frienship. "Maybe...we could..get to know each other as James and Freya. Not as...Butler and Miss?" She hesitantly suggested. "O-Of course if that's too weird then that's okay and I would totally understand and not even bring it up anymore since we already kind of talked about it and everything, so maybe I'm not making any sense and I think I'm going to stop talking now." Freya gasped as she finally took breath, and glanced nervously in James' direction.

"Hmmm, interesting!" Sara blinked and raised an eyebrow. "This might be silly, but what are you interested in?" He asked about her family and she nodded. "Of course. I have a younger sister and then my parents and grandma." She shrugged. "And because you don't have anyone here to sleep with. Unless you don't want the company tonight?" She raised an eyebrow.

Freya had gotten into her book but James' voice cut her out of the world she had been engrossed in. "Huh?" She was startled and quickly bookmarked her place as she put the book back onto the table in front of her. She opened her mouth as his pocket watch went off and smiled. "No, I should be able to fend for myself James. Thank you for today. Really, it was great." She stood and gave a stretch. "I'm probably going to..." She tilted her head and clapped her hands excitedly. "I'm probably going to do something goofy like karaoke. You don't wanna stick around for that, do you?" She teased. That was pretty much her telling James that he was officially off the clock. With that, she began walking around the apartment looking for the small machine and found it right where it was supposed to be in front of the television. Crouching, she booted it up and grabbed a microphone and cleared her throat a few times before starting up the music and began singing "You've Got A Friend In Me" with her best Randy Newman impression, giggling a few times in between.

Sara smiled. "Good. I'll be right back!" She went into one of the homes nearby and came back with a blanket before she sat down next to Makan and leaned against him and closed her eyes. "Do you have siblings, Makan?" She was incredibly curious about him. The children giggled and were lured into chasing his tail as he swayed it back and forth.

Freya was pleased she could begin to eat the food that was placed in front of her. Like usual, would you have prepared for her and looked absolutely stunning. If she can eat with her eyes, this was it. Hangover utensils siege delicately cut into the salmon and put it into her mouth. A small noise of joy and it is from here as she continued eating. Change disappeared, and was back by the time she had finished her meal and was standing up to take her plate to the sink. However, James informed her that in fact he had Draughon her a bath. Her eyes widened, as she didn't think that's what he was doing the whole time she was eating. "O-Oh. Okay. Well, thank you James." She smiled and headed towards the bathroom. Upon opening the door she sighed softly. So, this is what the oils were for. Shutting the door behind her, she began to undress and submerged herself into the water taking her time to enjoy the music that was playing and relax.

About half an hour later she realized she had been sitting a while and decided she should probably get out. The water was beginning to get cold and she didn't want to catch cold. She got iut of the bath and unplugged it, letting the water drain as she got dressed in her pajamas and robe. Leaving the bathroom she smiled towards James. "Thank you, James. The bath was lovely. I appreciate it." Now, all she had to do was wait until his pocket watch went off and they could talk about things when he wasn't working. To pass the time, she sat on the couch and picked up a book that was laying nearby and began to read.

Freya laughed. "Right, right." Sitting after he pulled out the chair she thanked him before looking in awe over the plate in front of her. "Oh wow, this looks so good!" She went to grab her fork to dig in, but James had asked her to wait a moment. He had walked out for just a moment, coming back with a selection of different oils. She smiled to herself and looked her the selection carefully. "I think a blend of Lavender and Vanilla Oil sounds nice." She nodded at her choice. "Can I go ahead and dig in? The smell is kililng me I can't wait to taste it" She asked, glancing at the plate in front of her and back to James.

Talking to Annie always made her feel better. She understood that maybe she was sharing information a little personal to her and appreciated that she told her, even if it was just a little. Hearing that James wasn't going to be mad at her, she felt a small weight lift off her shoulders. Annie then proceeded to tell her that not only was James here to help her with school, but he was taking classes of his own! Her eyes widened. She was glad that the lollipop she had was already dissolved because she was sure that she would have chewed right through a lollipop at that discovery. "I'll be sure to let you know all about it." She smiled softly. James' cooking always put her in a good mood.

When Annie told her that James couldn't be her friend she felt herself sigh but she blinked. That last part of her sentance. The way that she had said that... "I see. Yes..Yes I understand!" She blinked, and smiled. "I do. Thank you so much, Annie. You always know what to say. I've got to go apologize...And wait until midnight. It's like an odd Cinderella story." She giggled, and bid Annie farewell before heading back towards the dorm building. Heading in, she hit the call elevator button and as she worked her way up to her floor, she cleared her throat a few times. Keeping what Annie had said in mind, she knocked at the door before letting herself in with her key. "I'm back," She announced as she locked the door behind her. "Sorry, James. I didn't mean to run off like that." She put the remaining lollipops back into the candy dish and looked over into the kitchen. "That smells really good..." She observed as her stomach growled loudly. "Oh my gosh." She grabbed her abdomen and laughed lightly. "Sorry...Just...Your cooking always makes me super hungry." She just had to wait until he was off duty. Maybe then she would get the answers that she was trying to get eariler. But, for now she was just going to allow James to work.

Freya sniffled as she finished her lollipop. Her phone began to ring, and she looked at the caller ID. It was Annie! She blinked, and answered the phone. It was so good to hear from her. She began her question about the campus and when Freya hesistated in answering, she asked what was wrong. Biting her lip, the young woman sighed. "It's...James." She began as she followed the sidewalk around a circle that kept a momument in the center. "He said he wasn't a good person, and then went on to tell me that he couldn't even be my friend. I...flipped out and walked out on him. And then you called." Freya groaned. "He is a good person. I don't know what he did before he worked for my dad but that's not the James I know. I know the James who is caring and perceptive to everything. I just...I don't know what do to. I'm starting to think coming here was a mistake..I haven't even been here a whole day yet and I've already had a fight." She sniffled again as she wiped a few tears away from her face. "I don't know what to do, Annie.."

Sara beamed towards Makan as she gave a slight bow as well. She stood and gave Makan an affectionate pat. "Looks like you've got yourself a small fan club." She teased. As the people moved around, a few children were interested in Makan's tail, poking at it with their fingers, and small twigs. "Is it alright if I sleep with you again, Makan?" Sara asked rubbing the back of her head. "I know that sounds awkward, but I slept pretty well last night and I figured the company was nice for you and all, you know?"

She saw the look that he had shot her, and pretended like she didn't see it, even though a smile broke through. James went silent for a few moments after she said that she wanted him to be her friend sometimes. She was going to excuse herself for bringing up something unprofessional like that, but he began talking. Her nose wrinkled as she was confused. James? A bad person? Were those even things that could be said in the same sentence? Not in the world of Freya. It only seemed to confuse her more and more as he talked. Her extending friendship was something that James was not supposed to engage in? He wasn't allowed to have friends?

Or...was it just not allowed to be friends with me.. Freya's expression fell and she gripped her arm hearing the heavy sigh from James. So, if she gave him an order of being friends then it would be. Simply because that was how this worked, right? He began his stance on butlers and masters, which left her feeling aggrivated. As he placed a hand on hers, she quickly snatched her own away and shoved herself away and upwards, almost falling forward in doing so. "I get it..." She breathed, saying it barely above a whisper. "You're a wonderful person, James. I hate that you think that you aren't. I don't know what you did before you came to work for us, and I don't really care about that. You're here with me now. I know the James you are right in this moment as I speak. You are kind, honest, witty and...simply amazing." She walked towards the window, staring out of it longingly. "I...understand that maybe in your mind we can't be friends. But in mine? It doesn't matter what your job title is. Your personality is what I want. I could care less your job title. You will always just be James to me. Not James "My Butler". You are so much more than that to me." She sniffled, her eyes welling with threatening tears.

"I deserve this, I deserve that...I just...I want you to know that you're incredible, James. Just for being you." She grabbed a handful of lollipops and headed for the door to the apartment. "I'm going to take a walk and explore campus. I need air." Freya walked out, shutting the door harder than intended on her way out, and glanced around now that she was outside, and retraced her steps down the elevator and passed through the doors. She needed to run or something to get what she was feeling out. Once outside, the cool air hit her face and she adjusted her glasses slightly before beginning to follow the sidewalk and just get her mind off of what just happened. Walks usually helped calm Freya down. Thinking about what just happened, she unwrapped a lollipop and began sucking on it, the tears from earlier falling down her face. Was coming here...a mistake?
