[Manuela turns on the video and carefully sets up the device to be balanced on something. You can see she's sitting in a hallway on a couch with no cushions. She looks as amazing as ever. Makeup done to perfection, the slit of her dress riding up just right, the dip of the front showing off an excellent amount of cleavage. She's living her best life with a glass of wine in hand.]

You know, dears. If anyone is looking for a maid, I have just the person for you. I've really never seen anyone more thorough.

[Reaching over, she turns the camera to show that the hallway is filled with furniture. All stripped down. All looking like they've been thoroughly cleaned. She keeps turning it until she shows the way into Sylvain's doorway where he's on his hands and knees scrubbing furiously at the floor of the entryway.]

Just mention you left a tiny bit of dirt somewhere and this handsome young man will deep clean an entire apartment.

[She brings it back around to her, looking smug as she sips at her wine. Even without all the details it's pretty clear Manuela is the one who told him she slipped dirt into his place and sent him into this cleaning frenzy.]

I will warn you though... Don't bother trying to distract him with how lovely you are while he's cleaning. He will prioritize it over you.

[Okay the bitterness to her tone MIGHT suggest what happened here. But she smiles and winks.]

Call me if you need all that extra help. I'm so happy to be his manager.

[Poor Sylvain.]

I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you, Manuela.

[This is truly Something. But while Hilda should probably, you know, say hello—]

It looked like he missed a spot? Tell him to go a liiiiiittle more to the left.

[ He honestly doesn't know which of them is more distracting -both for differing yet very questionable reasons. Where does he even start? ]

I usually punished him with laps and stable-cleaning.
What did he do?

[ He's just... trying not to be too amused at Sylvain's expense. ]

... I'm glad he seems to be focusing on some things that aren't pleasant distractions for once.

Not that it is right to ignore you, of course... but it would mean more in a better environment, would it not?

[ Appreciation in a clean room is better than a messy one! ]

[Ashe didn't know what Sylvain did to get in trouble in this world too, but it had to be something for him to be cleaning so thoroughly.]

I don't need a maid, though I am curious about what did Sylvain do?

So this is what you’ve been up to.

[Seeing Sylvain like this is, quite honestly, a very special joy to her, though.]

How the mighty have fallen...Do remind me not to get on your bad side, Professor Manuela.
