Oliver had spent a good part of the night going through the rooms that had been offered to him, and, though he had not meant to when he had started, cleaning all of them as well. By the time he had decided where he would stay and unpacked, most of the rooms were sparkling and ready for use. As for the room he had chosen, it had the beginnings of looking lived in. Oliver did not have much in the way of personal belongings- he didn't like having a lot to carry around- but what little he did have had been neatly put away, and the room arranged just the way he liked it. Unfortunately, having gotten so much done overnight meant that he had very little time to sleep. Being a vampire and being most energetic at night was not very compatible with needing to work with schedules that usually took place while the sun was up.
Nevertheless, Oliver made sure he was up bright and early. He had a new employer to impress, after all. The last thing he needed was for Kazu to change his mind after Oliver had already gotten so excited about having everything he could ever want all in one place for the simple price of maintaining the house. Two hours of sleep be damned.
The newly employed butler started the morning in the kitchen, one of the most important rooms in the house. It was also one of the most annoying to clean if it was not kept regularly, so he wanted to get it out of the way so the rest of the place would feel easier. Dusting, scrubbing, shining... How did anyone deal with not having a tidy kitchen? How did one prepare food with a clear conscience in a place that was not in the best possible condition? At least as a vampire, Oliver did not have to worry too much about germs- he had already contracted one of the worst infections. It would probably eat anything else that tried to enter his immune system.
By the time Kazu came down looking for something to clear himself out, Oliver had moved on to other duties. Upon hearing footsteps, however, he slipped back into the kitchen and prepared some tea with the water he had left to boil.
"This should clear you up," he said, offering the steaming cup of ginger tea with lemon and honey to Kazu. "Let me know if I can get you anything else. I've started going through the house."
