Aijou had woken up early that morning like any other. His jobs being the first on the list, cleaning, dusting, washing, drying. The normal things that he tend to have to do while his master was away at meetings and all that. Though, most of the time he found himself often dazing off, wondering when the lord would return, while also trying to keep out of the mistress's way, who was taken the absence of her husband as a chance to have a little get together with some old friends. A few of the servants also took this time to slack a bit, not all that worried on having someone see them not working now that both party's of the house were to busy to notice their mistakes and laziness. But this all just Meant that Aijou had to work a bit harder, doing the work that the others were not getting done. It wasn't until later, when he'd gotten word that Shizu was back, that he finally felt a sigh of relief for the fact that others, too, now where doing their jobs. Chewing on his lip, Aijou tempted himself a short stop by his master's study, sure that he was there, to see him..Of course he'd play the respectful servant just wishing to see if he'd want anything...but Aijou knew the master had someone over.

Maybe he'd wait a bit? It most likely wouldn't take that long for the meeting, but he wasn't completely sure. He spent a good 12 minutes just trying to keep his hands busy, going over things he'd already cleaned, double checking the washers or to make sure the chief was preparing, or starting to prepare dinner for the night. Some times, Aijou would do it himself, but they did have a cook as to give Aijou more leeway to do the other things that called his attention.

But as fate may have it, Aijou found himself at the door to the study, standing there with a blank expression for a good handful of minutes before shaking his head and giving himself a light smack on the cheek to get back into work mode, his hand reaching out to fold over into a fist before giving a soft 'thud, thud' to announce that he was there, and stop all private conversations before he opened the door a crack and stepped in, head bowed in respect, " I have come To ask if you'd like anything to drink or something to snack on til dinner." he stated.
