EIGHTH ORDER --> [In Person]

[Ciel is in his room, but there's something different about the Earl today. He is standing in the middle of the room, intently focused on something. It might be a ghost. Bizarrely enough, the boy's face betrays the hints of a smile, and he extends a hand to the whatever-it-is, leaning forward slightly.]

No, Sebastian. You haven't been replaced.

[Yes, he wouldn't be particularly thrilled to hear that. It's best he doesn't know. In the meantime, the Earl does continue to look away from Beast, and glances at his pet instead.]

Rest assured; I won't.

[The dog lifts his head as the demon speaks with him, pants a bit, and licks the leg of his pants in a friendly, slobbery gesture.]

[Never fear, Ciel. Your butler will stay...totally virtuous in your eyes. Or something.

...Did it just slobber on him. Ghost slobber, hopefully. Sebastian straightens.] I think he likes me, sir.

[Ew.]

[Ciel knows how his butler adores dogs. So, his smile returns.]

Well, I suppose he does.

[Sebastian the dog cocks his head, looking up at the demon.]

[Yeah, and usually they don't like him much either. Maybe it's the name solidarity.]

If that will be all, sir, I'll leave you two alone. [Smirk.] I'm sure you have plenty of catching up to do.

[The world may never know.]

Heh. Fine, then. If I am only to enjoy a week with your predecessor, I might as well make the most of it.

Yes. And I shall try my hardest to live up to his image in the future.

[Woof. Woof.]

Yes, well. Best of luck.

That's all for now.

[Best of luck. What a little prick.]

As you wish.

[And he leaves.]
