(this isn't canon I just don't know what Claude's demon form looks like) 

There was no response, Hannah called out again. 

"Claude?" 

The only response Hannah got was a low growl coming from the slouched, distorted figure that stood in Claude's chamber, staring at her with red voids that she assumed was supposed to be its eyes.  The only trace of a face the purple maid could recognize was the "skin" around the creatures eyes that were only visible from harsh glow of  it's "eyes". The rest of its body and face camouflaged against the darkness of the room a faint outline was the only thing Hannah's eye was able to adjust to.  

Hannah let out an annoyed sigh. 

"Seriously spider you just ate" the creature didn't respond "come on, the brat wants you for something" Hannah slammed the door, harsh enough to express her frustration but not loud enough to alert the attention of Prince prissy prick. Hannah smirked at that nickname, it was one of her favourites along with:

— Trancy Twat 

—Ass-lois 

— Bipolar bastard 

— The brother that's still alive (sadly) 

If Earl Trancy ever caught onto these nicknames, I'm pretty sure  all the servants would be in trouble, so Hannah kept all the nicknames to herself. 

... 

How long does it take Claude to turn back into the butler Hannah became habituated to sneering at every day, It was a part of her morning routine. 

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Claude was delicately fixing the cuffs of his sleeves, the manor seemed less eventful without (Y/n), Claude wondered what they were doing right now, probably sleeping the day away. Claude's upper lip twitched upwards, almost creating a slight smirk...almost. Claude didn't blame (y/n) for their constant lethargic personality, the obstacles the neko went through as well as not being an all powerful demon must be difficult. A shudder ran through Claude's spine at the mere thought of not being an omnipotent being. 
"CLAUDE HURRY UP!"  The bootleg Sebastian from wish snapped  out of his slightly self-centred thoughts when Hannah impatiently knocked on the door. 

"I swear if you weren't  my best friend, I would have told Alois how you treat me" Claude threatened. 

"You already rat me out to him, so you might as well" Hannah snapped back, an offended gasp could be heard through the door from the secretly overdramatic butler.  The door opened to reveal the butler, now with a deadpanned look, a look he wore whenever he had to be around the Royal anything but loyal brat. Even though Hannah had normalized herself to the expression, sometimes she couldn't tell if it was acting or not. Hannah thought that she might as well put up her act too. 

"The Highness is waiting for us, Claude" The blue-haired maid said with a bow. Claude struggled to hide a smile. 

"Indeed Hannah...lets- pfft" Claude's facade broke before it even started as they both burst out laughing. 

"Claude... Claude this is serious" Hannah attempted to say between the laughter. 

"Okay...okay let's go"  the laughter eventually died down.
