[ at first, the only sound is a soft clatter, something small skidding against the ground. there's a thud, and a moment later, harsh, hysterical breathing. a shriek follows, hoarse and horrified

[Ciel doesn't know who you are. Ciel can't know who you are - thus, to him, you sound like someone from the lower class to him dressed in, well, circus attire. It certainly stands out amongst other individuals who've arrived and made it known. There's also the fact his mind's been recently on Snake's disappearance, thus, the circus is something that's been sitting there in the very corners of his head. The hand is a little appalling, but Ciel won't mention it.]
You're alive, yes, as most who arrive here tend to find themselves, whether dead or living in the first place. Caution would be best exercised.
[ he squints at the familiar face, eyes going wide and startled again in his face. ]
Smile! [ but then he seems to remember that, oh yeah, his name isn't smile. and there's something just at the edge of his memories, something nasty. ] .. No, I s'pose it en't Smile.
He told me he used to work for the circus, yes, before he became a servant of mine.
[A pause.] He returned home recently - this place tends to take and return people as it pleases. I've no idea if he'll return again, but he did once before.
I only inquire because some of his snakes would call me Smile and seeing as you're...dressed like a circus performer and called me Smile yourself, I figured I'd ask for his sake, if he ever returns.
[ he sets the mirror down, burying his face in his hands. he doesn't understand this. he remembers the phantomhive kid coming to the manor, he remembers the dinner and that horrible show. but the kid doesn't seem to remember him.
and.. snake's alive. does that mean that some of the others from the circus survived? ]
.. Fuck me mother. You 'ave no idea who I am, do yer?
You're welcome to take one, if you so desire. Food, clean clothes and a bed are also available.
[Because well, if Alois offered, he can't exactly turn it down. There's also the fact if he's a member of Snake's family, then Snake would've wanted him to be treated with respect.]
Don't worry about paying me back for them. It's nothing. [Snake would've felt bad, after all. See Joker, he's not that much of a dick :c]
Sector Six, the Phantomhive Manor. It's on a hill. I'll send you directions. [And they'll be sent and attached! A little map with the location marked on it.]

...Smile? [Who called him Smile? Oh. Snake's snakes, of course.]
You wouldn't...happen to know an individual named Snake, would you? [Snake isn't here anymore, but he might as well ask.]
