The Sixth Case ~ [Audio]

[queens_guarddog]

These jobs are pathetic. [Ciel’s voice carries clearly. He is making no attempt to conceal his words.] Is a hot bath so much to ask for, Sebastian? [The query is clearly directed at the silent presence in the room. No, Ciel has not gone mad yet.]

[Ciel barely spares a glance when Sebastian turns off the recorder. It doesn't matter. He hadn't said anything that should stoke anyone's ire. Then again, there were probably people who would dislike him no matter what he said - but they were hardly worth his notice.]
