♚ Seventeenth Move - {Audio}

[Ciel has decided that he really, really dislikes the games the City plays.

There is a bang and then a crash before the young Earl says anything.]

What the bloody hell is going on?!

SEBASTIAN!

[What? It's not like he's never been pissed before. But, for crying out loud, this has to do with food!]

Get back! [An old-fashioned pistol fires.] Don't touch me! [Ciel whacks the 'monster' with his cane and there is a nasty crack.]

Damnit. [Growled.]

[The recording cuts off.]

[On hearing the thump, Tsubaki looked away from the medicine preparations, hurrying to the the boy's side on seeing he was unconscious. She sighed in relief on finding he was still breathing, thinking for a moment on what to do.]

[She had left the mixture that was the medicine to steep, which would take a little while longer before use. In the meantime, she thought it was better to take the Earl somewhere more comfortable. Carefully lifting him up, she proceeded up the stairs towards his bedroom. Thankfully he wasn't terribly heavy, another reminder that for all his formalities and strength of will, he was still actually a child, so it wasn't too hard for the older teenager to make it to the bedroom, gently setting him on the mattress.]

[Once she gave him another check, she hurried back downstairs to retrieve the medicine, ready now that enough time had passed. She returned back to the Earl's bedroom as quickly as she could without spilling the mixture. Her care came through in giving it to the still unconscious Ciel as she made sure he took in what she hoped would aid him. It still seemed like he might sleep a while though, even with the worst past, so the girl carefully moved to pull a blanket over the boy's form, removing his shoes at least for comforts sake, and tucking him up.]

[Sighing in relief, Tsubaki settled herself down on a seat next to the bed, waiting until he woke. It wasn't as if she would be able to do anything else until she was sure he was okay anyway.]

[Ciel stirred about thirty minutes after the medicine had entered his system. Opening his eyes blearily, he tried to figure out where he had been taken. This wasn't the kitchen, after all; and he was lying on something soft. Finally, however, he turned his head and saw Tsubaki.

So that's what had happened.

Clearing his throat, he garnered her attention before murmuring...]

Thank you.

[The girl had been looking at the bed dazily, barely noticing him stir until she heard the noise from his throat. She quickly turned her gaze, breathing a sigh of relief as he spoke. He seemed alright now, her tense form visibly relaxing, lifting her head to give a small but honest smile.]

You're welcome...are you feeling better?

[Ciel considered the question. His head ached, his lungs felt weak and he was tired. But all of that was inconsequential when he considered how close he had come to death. Again.]

Yes. [He watched her silently for a long moment.] You saved my life. How...did you get me up here?

[Tsubaki was unaware how severe Ciel's asthma was, but she was concered regardless when he passed out. At least he seemed alright for the most part. Getting up from her seat she went to the bedside table and poured out a glass of water for the Earl from a pitcher she retrieved while he was asleep. She had to clean up the mess left in the kitchen anyway, so had brought the jug and glasses on her return, the one she had poured for herself while she has waited still sitting there.]

Well, I carried you. Since I did't know how long it would be before you woke up I thought you'd be more comfortable. [She just smiles softly back , helping to prop up the pillows so he could sit up before handing him the water.]

[Ciel sipped from the glass tentatively, his left eye focused solely on her.]

You are quite strong. I didn't know your powers were that...useful. [He set the glass down and leaned against the pillows.]

I know we spoke about your world before, but I find myself even more interested in it.

[It only really sunk in when Ciel spoke, but Tsubaki realized it fully, she had transformed in plain sightof someone else, and unlike other times, it wasn't an accident. Ciel's safety had been more important, and had overridden her usual feelings of caution when it came to showing her powers to people who didn't know about them.]

Well I train a lot, I suppose that had something to do with it. [Taking a sip from her own glass, she settled back down in her seat. True she had told the Earl some of the mechanics of how things world, she hadn't specified about her own abilities, but it wasn't as if she wanted to hide them. If he was curious and it wouldn't unnerve him, there couldn't be any harm.]

I suppose that makes sense. From what I've learned these past two years in the City a lot of things I deal with at home regularly are things of fantasy and horror to most people.
