[Ciel turns on the video recorder with an angry click.]

Sebastian Michaelis, answer me this moment!

I lost a butler. It is my right to demand that he answer me promptly.

A... butler. Right, since you're... royalty.

Maybe he quit. You do pay him well, right?

He can't quit. He is mine to control until the end.

I'd quit too.

I am going to pay him very well. That is more than enough incentive for him to follow my orders.

[A pause.]

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

...no. You wouldn't.

Do you need help ironing your shirts, or making breakfast until he comes back?

[If he can't find him, yes.]

I can handle myself.

[Okay, not really.]

...whatever you say.

Have you suffered during this curse?

Why? Are you going to send me to find your butler?

If Sebastian can't find his way to me then there is no way you could find him.

[Flippant.]

I was concerned about your well-being.

...as if.

I'll look after your butler anyway, there's no need to get... how you're getting about it.

If you were going to do it anyway -

[Oh what's the point?]

Hm.

...you're welcome.

Huh. [He is bordering on amusement now.]
