[Ciel's in his night-things, sitting in a high-backed chair, and the smirk on his lips is particularly nasty tonight. The eyepatch is back in place, and his posture is abysmal, the back of his hand propping up his chin.

The smirk on his lips is particularly nasty tonight.]How pathetic... give a soul a reason to distrust, and everything, even

... Ciel?

[His voice sounds worried, rough around the edges; Ciel hasn't been himself for the last couple of days, and it's been worrying the prince something awful.]

[other_sights]

[Yes, to the point of locking himself in his room and refusing to see anyone at all, other than Sebastian. Something was very, very, very wrong.]

Yes?

[yourcurrysucks]

Are you okay? You've been really quiet.

[Negi has seen many expressions on Ciel's face, but this one is just scary enough to make him shiver. He'll suppress it, though, but it's still evident that it makes him uncomfortable.]

... what brought this on?

[other_sights]

[He sees it. He always sees it. The smile widens just barely at the corners.]

People. They trust that everyone around them remains willfully blind.

How sad that it's a bet with very good odds.

[notamageiswear]

Is this referring to yourself, as well?

That I am willfully blind, or that I trust others will be?

[That usual calm smile is on his face, quirked up at the edges and he'll set down tea near his young lord from behind him.

It's that doubt he uses, that linger urge to tempt those around him. Breathing poison with every word to taint and twist those needful hearts. A crack in the heart. The very inch in which doubt surfaces or fear is truely a blessing]

[Though when he's hovering, Ciel normally seems to utterly ignore him, he's very aware of his presence today. That single blue eye follows him around the room, staring openly.]

[He knows better than to mess with anything on Ciel's desk as in looking, but his careful hands begin to straighten it regardless. That plain smile remains, and he knows he's being watched, but he'll say nothing. It's not his place]

[Despite it all, he knows that smile.

There are several books on Ciel's desk. Large, heavy, and they're all books like dictionaries or encyclopedias, things he wouldn't likely bother to read. They're still there from the week before.]

[A little grin.]

I guess that means you shouldn't give anyone a reason to distrust you, huh?

[video]

[other_sights]

The only way to do that is to remain silent.

[video]

[kill_joo_ded]

But that's so boooring.

[video]

[other_sights]

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Young Master?

[Here's your perfect example of blind complete trust. So long as Ciel never turned on him, never outright hurt or experimented on him, Finny would be loyal]

...

I'm feeling much better now.

[Video]

[trollinurgarden]

[This is a face that wants to take everything Ciel says at face value but he's not sure if he should]

Are you sure, Young Master? [Does he need to kidnap you for a walk again?]

[other_sights]

[The past week was a glimpse, a tease, of what life used to be. A glimpse of a heart without rage, without revenge, without hatred. It was the freedom to love and the freedom to get attached, the freedom to touch another person without weighing the consequences like a toll.

When, along the lines, did Ciel stop trusting even himself?]
