{Private to Sebastian;}

Sebastian, do you know a boy by the name of Alois Trancy? He claims that I injured him and that he is my enemy. I do not recall him in the least.

{Private to Cain & Merry;}

I trust that both of you have survived this latest curse? I heard a rumor that people might lose their heads. That sounds quite unpleasant.

{Private to Alice;}

You have been awfully quiet lately.

How irritating.

It's best to live like that, I suppose. Tell me, would you like to work for me in the future?

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to say it's been quite necessary for me at home, but things can get better I'm sure.

[Colour her surprised by that question, but she's quite happy nonetheless.] If you think there's something I could do, then I'd be happy to work for you.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What is your home like?

[He will need the help soon enough. 8|] Tell me about your talents.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

The last time I was there, not in the best state. We...had just gone to war in a sense.

[She just can't believe he'd ask her out of the blue is all] Well apart from the general domestic tasks, cooking, cleaning and sowing, I have some forms of combat and weapon experience. [Yeah still self-conscious about freaking people out about being a living weapon.]

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps it has been resolved in your absence?

[He is hard to predict - unless you know his habits.] Perfect. I can definitely find a use for you. [There is only acceptance for living weapons in the Phantomhive Manor.]

With the way things work here if I were to go home I'd be brought back to the exact point I left anyway. Besides, I'd rather not leave my...partner alone during all this. He can be a handful when not supervised.

[Fortunately she's happy to go with the flow.] Thank you very much, I'll work to the best of my abilities. [She'll be fine as long as he doesn't panic the first time he sees her hair turning to half of a chain scythe...]

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

What is your partner like?

[Ciel can't help but smile at her compliance.] I'm sure you will. Sebastian will be overseeing your activities within the manor when you arrive.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

[Have the censored nice way to describe Black*Star.] Well...loud, hyperactive and somewhat overconfident...

[She's used to taking orders, Ciel's just a lot more polite when asking.] Very well, I'll be there at whatever time you want me to be.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a few people I know. [More than a few, actually.]

I will have Sebastian contact you shortly.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

The type that can be quite a handful if you don't know what you're doing.

Very well then, thank you again Earl Phantomhive.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I tend to ignore them as much as possible. That isn't possible for you, however.

I should be thanking you.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be a very good partner if I did.

For what? I haven't done anything.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Certainly not.

You will be helping me eventually.

[mytechskeeper.livejournal.com]

And in my world, that partnership makes all the difference in what needs to be done for the sake of peace.

Then I do hope I will be able to earn and be worthy of that gratitude Earl.
