Nevermore Tasks 027

[hisbutlerbound]

Aren't things quite busy now that the sun has gone back down. It was amusing as it was interesting. No shadows to hide behind. Nothing to hide certain aspects and secrets. Otherwise things seem to be rather dull. Ah, pardon me if that was rude.

[madcuriosity]

I think we have smaller candles.

[hisbutlerbound]

I would need them in two days, though I can pick them up now. Exactly fourteen.

[madcuriosity]

Well I have to ask, but if Mr. Cloud is fine with it you're more than welcome to them sir.

[hisbutlerbound]

Again, I can trade for some of the larger ones.

[madcuriosity]

They aren't my candles to trade otherwise I wouldn't need to ask.

[hisbutlerbound]

It is understandable, young miss.

[madcuriosity]

Alice. Alice Liddell. How do you do sir.

[hisbutlerbound]

Sebastian Michaelis, Miss Liddell. You don't have to call me sir. I do mean to apologize for my dishonorable meeting before, but otherwise I am well.

[madcuriosity]

Completely forgiven, after all, you can't very well help when the Animus have gone and turned everyone so terribly mad!

[hisbutlerbound]

[He chuckles lightly at the term used] Yes, most of us were rather out of ourselves.

[madcuriosity]

[Alice has an odd speech pattern to be sure.] Well I certainly hope you're in yourself Mr. Michaelis. You certainly sound and look as if you are.

[hisbutlerbound]

I certainly am, Miss Liddell. Every inch and piece, along with my speech is.

[madcuriosity]

Frabjous! It isn't really pleasant being out of yourself. Why next you know you would be out of it completely. And I very much doubt anyone would like that.

[hisbutlerbound]

In the end, I am me. That is all that matters. I am whatever my young master wishes me to be whether I am in or out of myself. Whether I am mad or sane.

[madcuriosity]

Your master? Oh! You're a butler then? [Alice would have never known with the way his speech was.] Your Lord is here?

[hisbutlerbound]

Yes I am to the most esteemed Earl Ciel Phantomhive.
