20th Letter - Accidental Voice

[ The entry begins with a LOUD banging noise as the journal and various other items slam onto the floor. Someone may be throwing a temper tantrum.... and happened to carelessly knock the journal over. But... he didn't seem to notice.]

RRGG!!!! [Something else hits the ground before the sounds of an exasperated huff, and someone swiftly taking a

I am on my way.

[ He knocks at Ciel's door twice, as per usual, and then enters to find the little Lord covered in .. glitter. He looks aside as a first lifts to his mouth to muffle a snicker. ] my Lord ..

[Ciel doesn't bother to respond, and it's just as well since Sebastian arrives swiftly. He's certainly not in the mood for the snickering however muffled. His eyebrow twitches uncontrollably for a moment, his fingers gripping the sides of his chair so tightly that the tips are turning the palest white color before he eases up and gets it together.]

Sebastian.

[He acknowledges. Now what is the best way to get down to business.....]

I need to have a spell removed...

[The Earl was expecting this to be a simple task for his butler, unaware of the nuances involved in a hex]

[ He strode closer to Ciel. ] I'm afraid that it isn't that simple, Young Master. [ Sebastian leant down to Ciel's level. ] .. only the person that cast the hex may remove it .. prematurely.

[ He stood back up, and walked past Ciel to the window. ] Do you know the perpetrator? [ Wafting a brow, Sebastian threw a glance back at Ciel. ] I am sure that I could, easily, force him, or her, to remove it.

[That wasn't at all what Ciel wanted to hear, which was evident in his expression. No wonder, everything he'd already tried had failed miserably. The boy began to pace the room-- simply because standing still would encourage the glitter to keep raining down by the bucket full] ....

I do have an inkling as to whom it was.. [Mainly because Eagle had already confessed on the day it had been set into motion] The 6th Year Ravenclaw prefect. [Ciel paused in his speech and unfortunately his pace. Then quite clearly he revealed the full name of the culprit] Eagle Vision.

{The shiny objects began cascading downward once more, catching flecks of light as they descended]

[ He knew that Ciel would not be happy with the given answer, but there was, simply, nothing that Sebastian could do about the Hex. ] Master. [ His hand fell to Ciel's shoulder. ] .. would you like me to teach the Ravenclaw prefect a little Lesson? I would be more than happy to do so.

[ Sebastian chuckled and took a step back. ] Or we could find out, ourselves, just how the Hex was meant to be removed. It is up to you, my Lord, .. [ He trailed off, lips turning up into a smirk. ] I am sure that you do not want to concede to this, lowly, peon, so why don't we go with the latter? [ He strode back over to the door. ] In the meantime, though, why don't you follow me. .. let me help you clear your mind, Master. I had, after all, promised to do so on your Birthday, and because of our spat, well .. we had a bit of a setback. [ Sebastian turned and held out a hand for Ciel. ]

[Oh, how tempting the offer was. It would give him no greater pleasure than to utterly humiliate that infuriating prefect. Unfortunately, Sebastian followed the offer by making a logical point. Going to the source would be like giving up. This hex could be broken, one only had to find the key. During that sizable time frame he could have ordered Sebastian to take care of that nuisance at any point in time, and yet he hadn't..

No, he did wish to unlock the riddle of this hex himself, rather than go crawling feebly to it's caster for salvation] We'll figure it out.. [He took a moment to dust the glitter off of his shoulders. Trying to sleep during this hex... had been a trick. Let's just say he held a new respect for the umbrella] Hm? What did you have in mind. [Ciel started before Sebastian reminded him of the earlier offer] I thought, you might have forgotten. [He smirked lightly at the idea that Sebastian could have forgotten anything like that] Very well.. [He answered striding forward.] I was curious to see what you had in store
