[Later, after everyone in the house is awake, and Ciel's found some time to himself, he's started browsing the DreamBerry. He's fixated, on looking through archives, searching for the names and dreams of people he knows. It is in this search, he finds Lizzie's dream.

He knows more than she does, how metaphorical her dream is not. Still, he'll say nothing, and play as though he has never seen it.]

[makehimsmile]

[Not say a word about the dream? He won't be the only one. It's not a new dream for Lizzie after all, and she yet isn't entirely used to the dream-berries. Besides she doubts anyone would go around browsing old dreams, right?

Ciel will be assaulted by a blond whirlwind, perfectly dressed and all now that they all are awake. Hugs for you Ciel, Lizzie seems in her usual high spirits, right?]

Good morning, Ciel!!!

[dealwithademon]

Ggk--! [A rather undignified, but not unusual sound for Ciel to make in such a situation. Strangely enough... he might actually be getting used to this, now that it's a daily occurrence]

Lizzie, how many times have I told you not to do that? [he squirms just a little in her death-grip] There are more appropriate greetings, you know...

[makehimsmile]

[More appropiate greetings? But she has always greeted him this way! And it was the best way to make sure that he was there everyday, with her. That she could reach him and hug him.

Still, she lets him go, earlier than normal, but then again he's always there. They live together and this is a daily occurrence. She needs the reassurance less often than back at home.]

But I have always greeted you like this!

[A pause.]

I know we are engaged and now live together but... We're a bit too young for that, aren't we?

[That being greeting him with a kiss on the cheek, obviously.]

[Sebastian is awake, of course, working all hours. The Dreamberry is propped up and he's doing something by candlelight]

Oh, dear. How troubling.

[Video]

[makehimsmile]

[Lizzie blinks at the voice and actually looks around the dark room, as if expecting the butler to be there. She still isn't entirely used to the dream-berries. Eventually she remembers them thought and crawls towards hers.]

Sebastian?

[Who else could it be thought?]

My lady. [Bows to the Dreamberry]

Forgive the disturbance. I could not help but notice your restless sleep.

[Lizzie smiles a bit, a mixture of apologetic and sadness.]

No, it should be me the one apologizing... Did I bother you?

[Did... Did her dream get picked up? Those things could do that, right?]

U-Uhm... I think I'm still not used to this place so I'm having problems getting asleep. I'm sorry.

[The dream had awakaned Angelina's own memories of that time. She was silent for a while, staring to the Dreamberry but not really seeing anything. Then she remembered about Lizzy. Oh, the girl must be terrified!

Soft voice.] Elizabeth?

[makehimsmile]

[Ciel had told her. People that shouldn't be here but were. A dream world... Dreams within a dream. She wasn't scared, or terrified anymore, she was confused. Unable to understand it she tried to keep some sense of normality around, just as she kept trying to bring forth happy memories for Ciel.

Lizzie blinks at the darkness, holding her breath as she hears the voice.]

Aunt Ann?

[Her own voice is soft, only slightly surprised. After all she had already been kind of warned about it. But the woman isn't in the room and Lizzie sits up, crawling to the dream-berry to look into it.]

Aun Ann, where are you?

[... it's the fire that gets to him. He takes a while to compose himself, before flicking on the video, something of a smile perched on his lips.]

What a terrible nightmare this is. Are you all right, little miss?

video.

[makehimsmile]

[An unknown voice, but Lizzie doesn't really care about if someone is a stranger or not. She always liked to meet people, even if she has to admit that she's a bit self-conscious upon realizing that her dream was seen by others. At least Ciel didn't see it, right? And it's not as if he would browse through the dream-berry to check on it.

At any rate, Lizzie offers a big smile to the stranger, even if one can easily assume that it's a bit forced.]

Ah, yes... I'm fine, thank you... It's not my first time dealing with nightmares after all.

[Or with this particular nightmare, in fact.]

I apologize for having disturbed you, Mister, It wasn't my intention to.

[Then again, who would have a nightmare on purpose?]

[boat_lights]

[It's a very cheerful little girl. He doesn't like cheerful little girls. He never has. They have always reminded him of Alice in some way or another, and Alice is unforgivable. Thus, it's unsurprising that a vindictive and childish man like him would have eventually associated all little girls to the word 'unforgivable'.

It's also unforgivable how much she reminds him of himself. Of Sablier. Of peace and the descent of Sablier.

Because of this, he smiles.]

It's all right. I wasn't disturbed. [Actually, he was. Very much so, but he isn't one to say anything of the sort.] But it certainly is a very depressing topic.

Did you ever find 'Ciel' again?

video.

[makehimsmile]

[If she ever found Ciel again? Ah, of course, the dream played it all almost as a memory, didn't it? Lizzie keeps smiling.]

Ah, yes... Actually he returned home a month or so after the funeral but...

[She hesitates here. He came back home and he finally was with her again but... How often did it feel as if he wasn't with her anyway? Maybe the body was but his mind was always somewhere else... Sometimes even his body would feel distant. As if something blocked her and stopped her from going with him.]

He's also in Somarium, actually. It was just... A bad and silly nightmare, very silly.

[One that reflected her feelings and fears. But she can't dwell on that, can she?]
