Aijou tilted his head to the side, confusion resting on his features as he looked upon his lord. "I Am very happy to serve such a caring master. It is my greatest wish to make you happy. How can I do that if I myself am no please to be here?" he asked in a tone that hinted truth. Sure there were some factors that Aijou hadn't liked. The Mistress being one of them. God forbid Aijou be in her presence for more then what was required. Giving that he had other people go care for her now, Aijou hardly saw her, so his mood was more up beat, Folding his hands over his lap, he stood as still as he could, watching his lord sit up from where he lied and begin to eat. It didn't take Aijou long to notice that the lord wasn't really eating. But he said nothing. It would only be rude to point out what someone tired to hide..."My lord, I excuse myself for other duties, I'll come by later for the leftovers and at request, ask for early leave today?" he said with a slight bow like nod. Today wasn't just any day.

Aijou hadn't taken off early in a while, but today was a day he couldn't stay as long as he himself would have liked...He needed to head down into town to send something to his mother. Her birthday was coming up, and if he didn't get it there today, his gift to her would be late..and what it was, his money that he'd been saving. Why have it when he didn't really get to spend it? His mother would need it more then he himself would...at least, that was how he saw it.."If you'd rather not, I can understand." he said quickly. It wasn't his place to ask something as such...So he was starting to feel a bit guilty for even bringing it up...At the very least, he'd get a swift no and would be allowed to leave to tend to his other duties.
