♚ Fourth Move - {Text}

[faustianphantom]

I just felt a chill.

[A long pause while Ciel searches his room for possible causes.]

I never noticed a draft in here before.

[But something is definitely different.]

Though I know that you are loathe to speak to me - Doll? Have you noticed any - [What does it call it? Unusual is the wrong word for it. This place is always unusual.] - unprecedented changes in the city lately?

This feeling is familiar...

A monster might be here. Maybe you should hide.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

But I don't feel uneasy, you do. So that means you should hide.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I never hide.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Are you gonna fight?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

If I have to.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

I wish I could fight. Good luck beatin' up monsters 'n stuff!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You needn't worry about monsters.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

I needn't? Oh.

...Why's that?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

You aren't the sort that would attract them.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Really? That's weird. I still wanna learn to fight 'em someday though.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Not really. Monsters feed off of - [A pause. She is too young to hear that.] negativity.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Negative..? I don't like bein' negative. Does that mean if I make people positive then monsters won't eat 'em?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

[He stifles a laugh.]

That isn't quite how it works. There will always be negativity in the world.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

But bein' negative's not good! Why would people wanna be negative?

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they can't help it.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

...Would cookies 'n hugs cheer 'em up? That always helps when I'm not happy.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Not if they don't like to be touched. Though I can't imagine saying no to a cookie.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Everybody likes cookies! There's all sortsa flavors so you c'n always find somethin' yummy.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What is your favorite flavor?

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

I like chocolate chip!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

So do I.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

You do? Maybe we c'n both eat cookies together sometime!

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I would like. My name is Ciel Phantomhive, by the way.

[innocentxcharm.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, I'm Florian! Hi Ciel~

That should have been "I would like that." up there. /type fail

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

It is wonderful to meet you, my lady.
