[Why are you so cheerful it's creeping him out 8|;]

What do you mean you promised someone else that luxury?

It's complicated! But I'm not dying by anyone's hand but hers. Or her master's. Either or.

Why would you promise your death to anyone?

It would keep everyone safe that way.

Where? Back home?

[Jack pauses for a moment to slash at something off-screen.]

No, here.

And how, exactly, with you being dead will everyone be safe? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

Oh, she's been after my blood for quite some time now. At least she won't have to use anyone to get to me if she already has what she wants.

And you're going to just let her?

I already did.

[You might be smiling Jack, but Ciel's glaring pretty hard right now.]

Then why let her again? I'd never stand for such a thing.

You know, I honestly can't bring myself to care what you do outside of what affects my life in this wretched city, but you were insistent and made a promise to Alois and I. I expect you to keep it. You can't keep it if you're dead.

Or are your words as lacking and empty as your obvious lack of self worth?

[Jack ducks into an alleyway and leans against the wall, catching his breath - and he smiles back at the NV, at Ciel.]

Don't worry about it, dear. [The smile curls a little devious.] She won't take my life unless she's completely sure that her master wants it, and there's no way for her to know.

[Smile all you want Jack, Ciel's not smiling.]

Then I suppose I'll say the same to you, when it comes the time for my soul to be ripped out of my body and devoured.

'Don't worry, dear.'

Are you angry at me?

I'm upset at your attitude.

You tell everyone not to worry with that stupid smile plastered on your face while you get yourself into trouble, trying to act like a martyr to save everyone else. You can't save everyone, nor can you protect everyone. It's impossible and unrealistic, regardless of how desperate you try to or wish to.

By suffocating yourself with other peoples burdens you're not only inhibiting them to grow and learn themselves, you're hurting them far more than if you simply let them care instead of pushing them away or pretending you're fine.

You're an adult. Stop being so selfish and childish. You're not allowed such a luxury anymore.

[It's true; every word is, and he knows it. It's funny how he's being lectured by a child, but in truth - he's been running away, being a coward, because he can't take other people caring about him when he'd let so many others down a century ago.]

I guess I'm no Prince Charming, aren't I?

[He lifts a hand to tuck a lock of hair behind his ear, smearing it with blood.]

My apologies.
