Fourteen. [It's how the feed starts, with the simple statement of the number, the view being of Ciel with a cup of tea and a scone that hasn't been touched yet.] While it may not seem old at all to some, fourteen is incredibly old to me personally. To think I've been in this city long enough to now see two birthdays pass is, if anything, almost

It can't be quiet if we're havin' a party!

[ giving someone room to angst? what's that? ]

[littlest_lord]

There is no party.

[wishgrant]

'Course there is!

[littlest_lord]

There isn't. I don't want one.

Joyeux anniversaire. I hope you get your wish for a peaceful day. Everyone deserves at least that for their birthday, non?

[There's a pause before Ciel replies, although he replies in French. He's fluent and any opportunity to practice the language is a good one. There's a quiet 'merci' before he replies in full.]

A day of peace? I would hope so. Peace and quiet is a precious commodity these days, I find.

[Francis is quick to reply in French once he knows Ciel can speak his tongue.]

Ah, you speak French! I was not aware. They are indeed, especially in this place. Monsters every night and whatnot. But, still, I wish for your birthday, you will receive both. They are much needed, yes?

They are, yes. The sentiment is very much appreciated.

Two years here is a long time. I'm not sure whether to say happy birthday or congratulate you on surviving.

[Whoa, someone around Serrure's age. This one, though, seemed older than his years, perhaps in the phrasing of his words or the cadence with which he spoke. Or the way he held his teacup]

How do you pay back time?

[littlest_lord]

Rather long, yes. [It hasn't been exactly two years yet, but he's certainly aged two years, even if he doesn't look any older than when he arrived. He hasn't grown any taller either. Pity.]

I don't know. I suppose it'd depend on where the time is borrowed from. [If it's a demon, the price is your soul, after all.]

[doeswhathewants]

Dark dealings, most likely. But shouldn't that only be bad if there's a debt owed? ... is that where you got your time from?

[Those vague dreams, he doesn't borrow, never borrows. He deals, he twists, he binds, he breaks and in waking hours those dreams, those memories scatter and are banished to the darkest parts of Serrure's mind. Maybe a demon price is no different in the end.]

Demons don't always win at the end of those. At least in legends, and there has to be some bite of truth to that.

[littlest_lord]

No, it isn't. [As if he'd admit something so freely.] I suppose I came across a little too literal. I've been given time by the Core, as many of us have - I suppose the debt paid would be the outcome of leaving and returning to the time we came from.

We're not exactly friends, but I will say that I do understand.

Cheers, for when you're old enough.

I can only hope I won't pass two years here. So, I do understand.

[Video]

[littlest_lord]

The sentiment is appreciated.

[A reaper understanding? Yeah right. But he might as well be polite.]

Regardless of whether you think I'm too young, I'm certainly partaking in a glass of wine tonight.

[ochitashinigami]

It sound justified.

[littlest_lord]

It definitely is.
