[ Sebastian can be seen sitting on a rock at the base of the very tree he was stuck in yesterday (which, thankfully, is all a blur). He's smoothed over now, hair in place, clothes no longer rumpled, and he's accompanied by Ellie, in his lap, and Gressil, hanging from a tree branch in the background. ]It's been a while since I've blacked out for

[Her hair is down out of its pineapple hairstyle and she's not wearing her eyepatch! But her hair is covering the missing eye well. She runs a brush through her hair thoughtfully]
I think I had a nightmare. All I remember is Julie-sa But I only remember bits and pieces of that. I think I dreamed of Mukuro-sama... [she frowns, her face darkening somewhat] ...And Julie-san.
[But she brightens somewhat and tilts her head ] How have you been? Aside from that.

[ He goes quiet for a moment, thoughtful. He swears he had a nightmare, too, but he's never had dreams. ... Then again, he'd never had to eat or sleep before he arrived here, either. He's not sure he likes this being human business.
Her topic change is welcome; his smile returns too. ]
Actually, I'm feeling fine. My party and I seem to be in good health and better spirits, so I have little to complain about.
... Although... I haven't seen the young master since I woke up.

[She trails off, apologetic, and watches Sebastian as she places her eyepatch on, twisting and styling her hair into that familiar pineapple style.
Now she looks normal again] That's good.
Your young master? Who is he? I can help look... [She actually hasn't learned that Sebastian and Ciel are servant and master yet]

Earl Ciel Phantomhive. He... actually resembles you, in a fashion. [ He quirks a bit of a smile. ] He's quite young, just a bit taller than you are, and he wears an eyepatch on his right eye.

We spoke of... [She touches her eyepatch lightly and glances to Sebastian as things suddenly click into place. She tilts her head back, her expression cool and curious]
Ah. I see. It makes sense now; I was right.

I can't say I'm surprised that you've pieced it together; you're quite the bright girl. [ After their prior conversations, he also doesn't expect her to be alarmed or afraid, and she certainly doesn't seem to be. ]

[it's not a question, just her reiterating the facts she's figured out]

We seem to have been... separated, somehow. Since I'm here, I can assume he may have been transported somewhere, himself, but I'm not certain where that might be.

I'm sure he can't be far. If you watch the network you can find if he makes a post, and find where he is.

[ He tilts his head at her, remembering their earlier conversation. She identified Gressil correctly then; he suspects she'll do the same for him now. Still, it's a long moment before he answers. The question alone has made him somewhat pensive. ]
... My name is Sonneillon.

...It fits. Why do you go by 'Sebastian' then?
Reply
It fits by design, not by coincidence. [ He smiles again, less cursory and polite and more mysterious and faraway. ] I am what he needs; his soul is for me. Whether he called me or I found him, we were drawn to one another.
'Sebastian' is the name given to me by my young master.

After some silence she stated] My real name is Nagi. I told you before, I think...I changed it to match Mukuro-sama's name.
[Chrome looks back then] I'll do my best to reunite you with Phantomhive-san.

... Thank you, Miss Chrome. [ He won't openly express how much it bothers him, not knowing where Ciel is, but then, he doesn't think he has to, with Chrome. They share a sort of understanding in that regard. ]

[She trails off, fidgeting with the pineapple hairstyle a moment] There's no need to thank me, really. I understand how it feels.
...Though I suppose it's slightly different, in that my Boss and fellow guardians are here as well.

Comrades aren't a terrible thing. [ Truth be told, he misses it sometimes - he and his brethren have never been as close since their descent. ] You're lucky not to be alone.
