†

The day was perhaps a little too warm for to be walking around in layers of dark clothing and leather shoes. And yet Sebastian was unconcerned for the discomfort. Hell is hot and so is this butler. I mean, what?

Removing the silver pocket

Perhaps he wasn't the best person to ask for an explanation, but the doctor was nearby in an equal amount of cloth, though his were opposite the other man's in their lightness, not a drop of color on him, save his skin and the pale blue of his eyes. He'd been wandering this 'city of dreams', as the boy had called it, since he'd gotten bored of agitating his young enemy.

He was in equal need of someone to ask about this place and/or how he arrived here rather than at Kokakuro. And the young man in black seemed both mildly reliable and like he wasn't in a rush to be anywhere, so that was as good a start as any.

Without a trace of silence, the doctor approached the stranger, the most charming grin worn on his face as he attempted to make conversation. "Why hello sir..."

[thebutler_epic]

Sebastian paused in the street, glancing at the stranger.

Then he offered him a formal bow, eyes slowly assessing the man as he moved.

"Good afternoon."

[perfect_surgeon]

Likewise, the doctor scanned him quite thoroughly, though without his powers, he found it infinitely harder to get a good read. Well, as far as how strong the man was and the like. He supposed it'd be safe to assume he had the usual, human amount of energy. Nothing spectacular.

But still, it didn't hurt to have manners for those who had manners towards him. He bowed back, still smiling as charmingly as possible.

"Good afternoon to you too. I was wondering if you could help me procure some information, if you're not too busy..."

[thebutler_epic]

Absently, Sebastian fingered the pocket watch, but didn't go so far as to flip it back open. That would be rude.

While he was relatively busy - determined to unearth his own information, propriety won out over selfishness. He had a role to play, and he adhered to that role flawlessly.

"How may I be of service?" Sebastian replied, one dark brow raised.

Have an affected Ciel

[royalbluecursed]

[Ciel was bored, as usual and it wasn't surprising after grown up in Somarium. The only interesting thing were the new arrivals and even then it was a bit boring if not troublesome at times. So needless to say, even though he should be in class right now, he was looking for something that caught his interest.

And that's when he saw a rather regal looking person, just standing there. Must be a butler if anything but he wasn't really doing anything. Having nothing better to do he walks up to him.]

Let me guess, you're a new arrival?

Re: Have an affected Ciel

[thebutler_epic]

Ah. Now the pieces were coming together. Sebastian's eyes followed the earl's approach, waiting for him to speak first before replying.

"Forgive my late arrival, my Lord. I wasn't aware we were playing an elaborate game of hide-and-seek," Sebastian replied, keeping the annoyance from his tone. Instead, he smiled and bowed to his young Master.

[royalbluecursed]

['My Lord'? Well yeah, he was technically of a high class but how would this guy know?]

I think you may have me confused for someone else.

[thebutler_epic]

[One dark brow lifted. He knew enough about Ciel to know this sort of game - petty, childish fabrication, wasn't generally his style. So, was he to believe that the boy was serious, that he truly didn't recognize Sebastian?

...

Well, he still had a job to do, whether or not his young master was of sound mind. In fact, that might only make the job more entertaining]

Oh, dear. Whatever shall I do with myself? [Sebastian retorted, lips briefly pursed. He wasn't in earnest. Instead, he was playing his own game now, toying with Ciel]

[noleeksthanks]

[Kyou had seen the display Sebastian had just done with the bee. It was definitely something that had caught his attention considering that it wasn't something you see everyday. Even if he was someone who wouldn't butt into other people's business most of the time, he couldn't help but ask something--]

You take some kind of martial arts?

[thebutler_epic]

[Sebastian glanced sidelong at the boy, brow raised in silent question at the unexpected inquiry]

I am proficient, yes.

[He was constantly stepping in for his unmotivated young Master, a toy for his own amusement - and an irritation to a series of instructors, unable to understand or accept how a butler could best them in their own style]

[noleeksthanks]

That would explain how you were able to do that.

[He makes a lazy motion in the general direction of where Sebastian had released the bee. Honestly, he was surprised to hear that answer. He didn't take that man to be the type who would be into something like that. Especially because he was going around dressed like that.]

[thebutler_epic]

[Sebastian lifted a brow in question. The bit with the bee? Ah. That was impressive?]

It is only natural for the Phantomhive butler to do this. [Smile]

[knows_remorse]

[She was traveling all over Somarium as she was wont to do. At the feeling of a very familiar presence she paused and gave a soft stomp of the ground.]

[thebutler_epic]

[Sebastian glanced up at the sound of an approaching creature. There were too many footfalls, and too heavy a foot to qualify as human. He recognized that well before the stomping should have alerted him. Brow raised, the demon stood his ground and eyed the unicorn, waiting patiently]

Am I disturbing you? [Yes, he is in the habit of addressing animals, so speaking to her does not seem strange. It is only a mild inconvenience]

[knows_remorse]

It seems you have returned Sebastian.

[thebutler_epic]

Have I? [Sebastian replied, head slightly inclined to one side. He breathed in deep, as if there was some satisfying scent coming off the unicorn. But the shudder that follows hardly seems pleased. The demon tried to repress it, addressing the unicorn again]

That would imply I have been here before. Point in fact, I have no idea where I am.
