[Placed on his bed neatly, he'll find:
A tin with assorted teas.
A small box with an assortment of Funtom sweets.
A medium sized cookie jar filled with bone cookies (some misshapen, some slightly burned, all homemade)
A note:]
I don't know how to say this myself.
Thank you. For taking care of me when I was afraid and alone. And for keeping me from revealing my real name, else it might have alienated the few friends I've made. If you have questions, well, I suppose I haven't got much to hide from you anymore, have I?
For the future, I live on the thirteenth floor. Room one. Use that as you will.
And I apologize. For burdening you with my care.
Bone appétit.

[Oh, for the love of... He hates text so much.]
Seems I do. What can I do for you?
Seems I do. What can I do for you?
[That's okay. One day he just won't respond. He's got your number, boy.]
Oh? Congratulations. I might be so inclined. It's because I work in a cafe, isn't it?

[No, he won't. That's the point of not responding.]
And what should I help you with in this? You've a noble's taste in teas. Seems yours should be better to rely on than mine.

[Somewhat.]
Lower your standards a little and it might help. You'd be surprised what you can see when you come down to earth where your customers live. [Is he poking fun at that? Oh yes, yes he is.]
Here I thought you knew how to hire staff. That's a shame.

[Well, he tried.] Maybe it's a good time to learn to like something else.
[He can play dumb here. Can he? Sure he can.] So you want me to help you decide what tea to sell? I've got a few suggestions but it's up to you.

[Nope, no revenge. He's just being a shiiiiiiiiit.]
[But that does get a grin out of him. He tilts his head into his palm.]
That's quite a generous offer, milord. You really trust me to run your new cafe?

[Well there's the face he has been missing.]
You make a good point, but keeping you safe and running a business are two different things. I've run a business in my time, but I've never saved your life, so I suppose you have me there.

[He just hates text is all. While it's no longer difficult to read for him, it's still a hassle. He's an old man sometimes set in his ways!]
You have me in that as well. I do dislike being told what to do. [He thinks on it for a moment, then nods at last.] I've been under your light employ once before, so I'm sure I can handle this. But... [He grins.] Are you sure you know what you're doing, hiring me?

[GET OFFA HIS LAWN!]
Oh? A reckless move from milord, is it? Interesting. I think I might have to accept, if only to keep you out of trouble.

[Boy, don't make him do it. You know he can scruff you like a pup.]
Milord, you do recall I used to clean the bodies after you were done, do you not? I think that alone answers that question.

[You need an adult.]
You haven't had a reason to do anything here.

[Neither of them are helping him with business though.]
What a coincidence that I don't either. I'll deal with slow business if it means things can stay as they are for a little while. Every now and then, I like it when doings slow to a crawl.
