Dessert 6 - Accidental Video

[wherzmabutler]

[When the feed turns on, the first thing heard is an immensely girly sneeze.]

Bloody Hell, I refuse to believe I'm getting sick...

[Yup, that familiar English accent would indicate the sneeze had come from the resident Earl. He flops down in the chair in his study, glancing over at the ... currently... recording... SFC.]

... Fantastic...

[Sebastian bites the tip of his glove, dragging it off, and reaching a bare, pale hand to check Ciel's forehead]

You look quite pale, Young Master. [A raised eyebrow, and most nearly a B| look.] Milord, one warm cup will not cure a possible cold.

...I shall go and brew an herbal tea, one whose specific mixture is said to help human ailments such as a cold. [With a curt bow, he disappears into the kitchen. Don't be surprised if he returns in mere seconds. He is one hell of a butler, after all ;) ]

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, Ciel still doesn't like contact of any sort, however remains still while the demon checks him over.]

Add a drop or two of honey. I'm rather in the mood for a sweet or two. [Oh it was... so very nice having Sebastian around again.]

[Even with the continuous trolling.]

[... Which reminded him... There was one thing thus far that Ciel had not mentioned to Sebastian. Let the trolling commence.]

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Said demon retracts his hand, pulling the glove on again.] You are a tad too warm, Young Master.

Yes, my Lord, [With a curt bow he disappears, but not before noting the smug expression of his Master.]

[As promised, a moment later, he returns, tea at hand, and sets it before Ciel] Here you are, sir.

...You rarely have such a smug look on your face. Might I ask why?

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Ah, yes. Tea. Ciel takes the cup and relaxes back, that lovely little look still crossing lovely features. He's feeling rather elated, considering his current state.]

Oh. Nothing. [Lies. He wouldn't have that face otherwise.] A small mistake on my behalf I planned on correcting. I had forgotten to mention...

[His next words are spoken rather quietly; however, Ciel knows his demon's ears will pick it up.]

Our dear footman knows. He's seen your lovely little mark on me. And knows your true form.

[HAVE A BOMBSHELL. ♥]

1/3

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Sebastian, for the first time in his long, long, LOOOOOOOONG life, stops.

It's his moment of pure confusion. He blinks. Nearly opens his mouth to call his dear master a complete idiot. But remains silent]

2/3

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[His head tilts to the side, regarding his Master with a cool, bland look. Much like that icon...]

Oh...really now?

[A pause. Inwardly, the butler is twitching quite bad. on the outside, he remains coldly analyzing.] And you thought that...minor piece of information was not a necessity to share with me?

[Le sigh] How did that happen, Young Master?

3/3

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Ciel should feel his seal pulsate a bit behind the eye patch though. The confusion, and irritation Sebastian felt somehow seeped into their connection.

Quite honestly, the demon didn't care if that caused his Master discomfort. That Footman, knowing that...endangered quite a bit. The only thing the demon had to hope for, is that when they finally went back, all would be forgotten.

Even here...this, this was quite risky. With Snake knowing, that is one completely extraneous body knowing his Master's ultimate secret. Oh man...]

1/2?

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[That little moment? That was what he was looking for. That moment where he could drop a bombshell on the demon and watch his reaction. Even the boy had to admit--he had his little 'seek out some amusement' moments as well.]

2/3, lied

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

And miss this little spectacle? Hardly... [He smirks, closing his eyes as he sips his tea.]

It had slipped my mind. Honestly. He hasn't mentioned it since it happened. Snake's the type that likes to ignore these issues. After he was murdered he became rather defiant and I may have lost my temper.

It was careless, however... seemed to bring him back to a stable state of mind. I--

3/3 DONE

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[His cup of tea drops from his hands as one of them flies up to his eye. Ciel flinches.] Watch it! [His eyepatch was off a moment later, the seal behind it glowing brightly.]

I see no way it can affect us adversely.

~(._.)~

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Oh there is no sympathy here pal~ Perhaps even a press further, before decreasing to normalcy.]

Are you completely certain about that, Master? Or perhaps you should have controlled your emotions a bit more? [Sigh. This is what happens when Sebastian leaves Ciel's side. Well damn.]

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Serves you right for leaving him, B( Jerkface Butler. He hopes that little action makes his soul taste sour when you do devour it.]

What is it you're so very fearful of, Sebastian? The circumstances of which it came were not revealed. Nor the tie to the circus family. [Ciel looks a little prickly right now. Even thinking of that moment... it causes a lovely little flare of anger in his soul--probably just making it more savory.]

And knowledge gained here does not transfer. I've got experience.

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

Knowledge gained does not transfer? [Said jerkface butler repeated.]

Perhaps, but do you not think the knowledge of our contract can be used against My Lord in this world? Since you seem so good at making enemies, no doubt. [Yupp, he's poking fun at you, Ciel. Except he is also stating facts...8D]

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

By Snake? Hardly. He's loyal, if you remember correctly. We are his only real... 'family' now.

And with you here, I very much so doubt he'd say a single word. [B(. Unamused Ciel is unamused.]

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Still mildly ticked of butler is mildly ticked off]

I am please that you have such faith in me, Master [As much as that is true, he can't do without some sarcasm in there either~]

Now, [He turned to the more immediate matter] About this cold of yours, Young Master...

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[/sunglasses.]

I trust you to follow orders. That is all.

[Err... Right. This cold...] What about it?

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[An exasperated sigh]

You are getting sick, my Lord. Proper treatment is necessary.

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Ohp! That is a little smirk on his lips. Just to see he has his demon so flustered.]

Then do something. I don't recall saying you couldn't. I'll be treated at home, however.

[S-suppressing a light cough.]

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

Home sir? Isn't this underwater place your temporary home, so far? I would not recommend you waiting until then.

[He moves quickly, reaching to scoop the boy up non-nonchalantly.] I do not need you risking your health, Young Master. [After all, he wants Ciel alive, so he could get his soul in the end.]

Your asthma makes you predisposed to a more severe reaction, sir. [He intends to carry Ciel to his room]

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Being lifted up was greeted with a bit of a yelp and instant struggle--though... It didn't last long. Ciel knew once Sebastian made up his mind like this... there wasn't any breaking out of it. Defeat was accepted with an exasperated sigh and the crossing of his arms. He murmurs.] That's what I meant... bloody...

[Clearly, he's being tsun right now.] Fine. If you insist.

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[The butler smiled like he always did, with a tinge of triumph. He flowed smoothly into Ciel's bedroom, setting the kid down on the bed.]

[A bow] I shall quickly ready more tea considering you broke the last cup of it, and prepare your bed then.

[A sly smirk] Would the Master like me to read to him after?

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

[Pointed glare.]

... I'm not a child.

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

Thirteen is not the age of a child, sir?

[He tilts his head to the side, studying his Master. He thought...well, some time ago, he was given the advice to treat Ciel more like a child. Didn't children like books...and signs of care? He sighed, not quite getting it.]

...

[wherzmabutler.livejournal.com]

You bloody well know what happened to my childhood. I'd sooner forget it, had I the chance.

[Ciel crosses his arms, undoing his eyepatch to set on the nightstand.]

[Pfff, and what genius gave that advice? :|]

OI your butler is huuuunnnngrryyy B| go poke him! ^^

[redeyedbutler.livejournal.com]

[Sebastian knelt down, unlacing his Master's shoes. Such a habitual, regular action.]

I'm well aware, sir. [Cue in slightly creepy Sebastian smirk]

[Oh you know...someone who doesn't know any better, I'm guessing. :D]
