Mustardseed, a loyal and trusted member of Queen Titania's retinue, was summoned to serve under Nick Bottom after Titania fell under the enchantment of "Love-in-Idleness" pollen.
Upon meeting the Athenian weaver, Bottom jestingly remarked about his own experience eating mustard with roast beef, finding the flavour potent enough to bring him to tears.
Later that evening, Mustardseed and his fellow attendee Peaseblossom, were tasked with scratching Bottom's ears before being dismissed by Titania to spend the remainder of the night with her.
Often taking Titania's words literally, Mustardseed frequently bowed and knelt before Bottom, prompting the actor to request him to refrain from such formalities as he was no lord, nor was he royalty.
