The hallway of the girl's dormitory was entirely too well-lit. Or perhaps life in the tunnels was just ~spoiling~ him. Either way, dressed in black and gray and creeping through the hallways with an urn and a borderline-psychotic grin, the Undertaker knew he looked decidedly out of place.

But no matter. He had a little child and a bird to visit. Children were always more amusing than adults. They laughed easier and said funnier things without even trying. And birds had such short life-spans. He needed to eye it and see how large of a box to prepare for it, just in case it didn't take to Lady Rhyme's tender care.

When he reached Rhyme's door, he drummed on the door with his long nails to signal his arrival.

The little girl turned at the sound of his tapping. What an odd way to knock on the door. Ciel didn't fly off so she figured the bird was all right with her visitors and Rhyme moved to open the door....but what she saw wasn't what she expected. She'd heard tales of this Undertaker guy but she'd figured they were all just bad rumors. She didn't know until now that they'd all been true.

However, Rhyme was nothing if not very polite so she smiled brightly to the man and stepped aside. "Come on in! I'm Rhyme...but you already knew that! It's really nice to meet you! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you sooner. I've been...a little...well...I've just had a lot on my mind."

Ciel gave a little chirp from the window, fluttering his wings a bit to hover in the air and catch a better glimpse of the tall, grim man.

The Undertaker bowed to Rhyme and tipped his hat to the bird. "Yes, life has been rather ~chaotic~ lately, ~hasn't~ it?" he agreed. He entered in to her room and looked around. "Is ~this~ the bird you spoke of?" he said, gesturing to Ciel. He tried to imagine its little beak turned up in a scowl like its namesake. It was not very similar. But perhaps it had the same sweet tooth.

Lifting his cookie urn, the Undertaker pulled out one of his cookies, shortbread this time. "Do you ~think~ he would like a ~bite~?" he asked the little girl.

"It has!" Rhyme agreed. She was still trying not to stare too much at the Undertaker. He was being nice, there was nothing to worry about now...right? She shouldn't be mean and just stare.

"Oh! Yeah, that's Ciel! That's such a pretty name!" She noticed a somewhat far-off look in the Undertaker's eyes and wondered if maybe he already knew a Ciel. "Where did you get the name from? Did you just know of it?"

"You can try! He likes all the food I give him but I bet he'll really like your cookies!" Rhyme moved to sit by Ciel. "Wanna try a cookie, Ciel?"
