*A week later, Ciel is requested by Madam Red to ask Sebastian to train her butler, Grell Sutcliff, to become a little better, since he's an accident prone at everything he does. Much to everybody's dismay, including his own and Sebastian's, he agreed to do so. Later that morning, everyone is in the dining room as Ciel enters with Sebastian by his side per usual*

The servants: Good morning, Master!

Katerina: *bows her head to him* Good morning, Master.

Ciel: *walking over to his chair* Morning.

Sebastian: *pulls out his chair* My Lord, breakfast is ready. *looks at Katerina* Where's Grell?

Katerina: *standing beside Finny* I sent him to go get the tea.

Bardroy: *leans over and mutters to her* Are ya sure that was a good idea, Katty?

Katerina: *looks at him and whispers back* Yeah. I mean, he's just bringing the tea cart from the kitchen to here. What harm and damage could he possibly do by pushing a tea cart?

*As if on cue, they all look towards the door when they begin to hear Grell's shrill screams down the hallway and they were getting closer and louder*

Katerina, Bardroy, Finny, and Mey-Rin: Huh?

*All of a sudden, Grell uncontrollably bursts into the room, on top of the tea cart, and it goes straight towards Katerina as Mey-Rin and Bardroy quickly move aside to avoid getting hit*

Bardroy: *looks over at Katerina and his eyes widen when he sees that she wasn't moving out of the way* Katerina!

*She grunts in surprise as Bardroy quickly pushes her and himself out of the way, neither of them remembering that Finny was standing right behind her, but Grell crashes into him before he could move out of the way*

Bardroy: *looking down at Katerina, both of them on the floor* You all right?

Katerina: *props herself up on her elbows* I'm fine. *helps Bard and herself stand up* Thanks, Bard.

Bardroy: *staring at her* Anytime.

*They both hear Finny yell out in pain and Katerina looks over to see that Grell has accidentally spilled hot tea on her brother when he crashed into him*

Finny: *jumps up and down as he grabs his stained shirt* Ahhh! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!

*Katerina gasps and covers her mouth as she and the others watch him. Grell, sitting on the ground next to the mess he created, gasps when he sees the hot tea stain on the front of Finny's shirt*

Grell: *rushes over and kneels down in front of him* Ah, I'm so, so sorry! I'll wipe it off! *reaches over to the table to grab a napkin, but doesn't realize that he grabbed the tablecloth as well, because as he begins to pick it up, he takes the entire tablecloth along with him and pulls it, making it the plates move away from Ciel, and the food and silverware falls to the floor. The servants watch in shock and annoyance while Grell shrieks in terror. Ciel lets out a soft angry yet annoyed groan*

Bardroy: *leans over to him and whispers* Master, why did you agree to take in such a useless idjit?

Ciel: *looks at him* You're one to talk, Bard. *sighs sharply and looks away, remembering the promise he made to Madam Red* It didn't seem like such a bad idea.
